Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

one-nine-eighty A low budget fun film with a decent script and a massive heart. Harold (Stan Rowe) is an OAP with ORD, a disease which affects mobility and slowly eats away at mental faculties too over time. It seems that a lot more people in the UK are slowly getting ORD and as the virus spreads with time so does the severity of the disease, going from a mild stiffness to ultimately create zombies. A group of locals decide to take matters into their own hands and wielding baseball bats and whatever they can find they seek to find any ORD zombies and lay waste to them. Penny (Sarah Spence), a local care worker assigned to Harold is a flame in the darkness as she tries to help Harold survive the disease and then anyone fighting against it - or threatening Harold. Contrasting the loneliness and isolation of growing old against a disease is a very clever and very original in the zombie film world. This film is more than a horror and like a lot of underground British low budget horror has a vast range of emotional themes from tongue in cheek humour to bitter-sweet drama. Set in the beautiful backdrop of South Yorkshire, Keith Wright's film is beautifully crafted and goes to prove that you don't need millions of millions upon millions of dollars/pounds/euros to make a great film. Don't go into watching this film thinking it's an out and out zombie film because you any be disappointed, zombies do feature but they aren't the main draw, instead just lose yourself in the story being told which happens to have zombies too. I'm a big fan of low budget and British films, if you are too this will be a good investment of 77mins.

Billy Smith I enjoyed this film. It's quirky, different and whilst it is a bit amateurish in a way; I prefer to see it as quaint.I've watched it twice. It reminds me of "I, Zombie: The Chronicles of Pain" with a bit of a "Series 7: The Contenders" slant.Hollywood glitz is all well and good but sometimes it's great to watch something different and appreciate it for what it is, not berate it for what it isn't.There are a few plot holes but this clearly isn't supposed to be a "solid" narrative, the endearing characters more than make up for any inconsistencies for me.I can't wait to see what's next from Keith and the star of the show Sarah Spencer!

Cpiercey Great to watch a British film which has been filmed entirely in Yorkshire. Makes a change from the usual Zombie gore fest and actually has a bit of a touching side to it. Watched it with some great laughs and saw the serious side towards the end. Found myself laughing at the main character to start with and felt immersed into the plot quite quickly. If you want Murder, Blood, Guts and complete gore, this probably isn't the film you're looking for. If you want something a little different, you should definitely give it a try. It's appealed to my Wife as well as I've always had difficulty in managing to get her to watch more than 20 minutes of a film without getting up or talking, she managed to sit quietly for the whole film.

Corpus_Vile Harold (Stan Rowe) is an old age pensioner, suffering from O.R.D. or the onset of rigor disease. He can't get out and about as much and gets forgetful. Then there's the stiffness. He can't even touch his nose. What is the ultimate effects of O.R.D.? Well, it turns you... into a zombie. And it's affecting more and more UK males. Enter Penny, (Sarah Spencer) a cheerful, dedicated but lonely nurse, as his care helper. She'll engage in therapy with him, to delay the disease's effects. However, during the onset of the disease's later stages, loss of mental faculties and violent behaviour is inevitable. Already there have been reports of attacks, which prompts a trio of baseball bat wielding vigilantes to patrol the area, taking down any errant zombie they happen to find. Meanwhile, Harold is still getting by, and starting a tentative friendship with Penny. Will a cure be found? Or will Harold have to be taken out like so many before him?I just caught this at the Edinburgh Dead By Dawn festival, and all I can say is... wow. Harold's Going Stiff is the most original zombie film I've personally seen, and I've seen quite a few. Shot in a realistic mockumentary style and not precisely a horror per se, it's a character driven cross section of genres, from horror, to (very funny) comedy, to sad bittersweet drama. It also highlights the very real horror of growing old, lonely and with a loss of dignity, with some poignant scenes.I have always thought that having a very very low budget is no excuse to make a bad film. Harold's Going Stiff simply confirms this opinion for me.A highly, highly recommended film, with some great performances, laugh- out-loud scenes, as well as some astutely observed poignancy, it should be sought out by anyone.I really hope this film gets a DVD release as it thoroughly deserves one and director Keith Wright should hold his head up proud, as this is one of the best British "horrors" in the past three years, and a very welcome return to form for the UK.9/10, brilliant film.
