Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
stephen-whibley-991-146652 Being laid up with a bad back, I thought I'd while away the hours catching up on some particularly low rated Comedy films. IMDb rates this as a 3.4, the same as 'Jack and Jill' Wow, what a difference that should be! Whilst the crassness is similar between the 2 films, the unexpectedly quality of the acting here ensured that I was fully awake throughout this movie and I found it entertaining enough to try and set the record straight on IMDb. Compared to the other film in my Tramadol induced semi-coma, this should rate a 7, although extra points are awarded for not spending loads of cash and getting celebs out of their comfort zone. Excellent effort Cheggers!
Mrssmiff Thought I would give this film a go, as I love a bit of horror-comedy and am familiar with most of the British cast. Kill Keith, for me, had plenty laugh-out-loud moments and surprisingly good acting from all the cast, especially the celebrities playing themselves and I thought Keith Chegwin did a great job.My only criticism is the whole Tony Blackburn thing, not sure why the whole alter-ego thing was going on...Unfortunately for non British viewers, this might not be to everyone's taste but for those of us who will "get" the whole GMTV premise and the in-jokes, its well worth the watch.
davideo-2 STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning Danny (Marc Pickering) has got a new job at a television studio- as a lowly studio hand and tea boy, but has dreams of working his way up to the top, and getting his dream girl Dawn (Susannah Fielding). But her co presenter, the arrogant, egotistical Cliff (David Easter) wants to firmly keep him in his place, even though he's on the verge of losing his job and being replaced. His possible replacements include Joe Pesquale, Tony Blackburn...and Keith Chegwin! Meanwhile, a breakfast presenter serial killer is on the loose.Although he is indeed recognised as a household name around the country and still gets some recognition from the public, Keith Chegwin remains a public figure whose finest work I would be unable to know. Still, he is the focus of this off the wall little piece that is aiming for somewhere high but misfires somewhere quite far off the deep end.It's obvious what the makers of this were aiming for, an ironic, post modern comedy horror, with Keith 'Cheggers' Chegwin as the dastardly villain. The result, sadly, is an embarrassingly amateurish, low budget effort, that gets steadily more cack handed the more it goes on. It completely forgets the whole 'Cheggers-as-a-serial-killer' schtick and concentrates on a slushy, melodramatic 'will they, won't they' love plot between the two main characters.But this aside, the film is cheap looking, boring, unfunny, not as smart as it thinks it is and just a low budget monstrosity. *
CreaturewiththeatombrainUK Kill Keith is the directorial debut from Andy Thompson. It isn't a big budget blockbuster, and its creators are well aware of this, they don't try to push the film beyond its financial limits and the result is a crisp, well polished production.Kill Keith is a slasher/horror comedy, and besides a few cheap, cringe worthy jokes, the humour is lighthearted and clever. The facetious, cheesy dialogue walks a thin line but is delivered flawlessly by the main cast. The celebrities in the film, which are well known UK presenters, including Joe Pasquale, Russell Grant, Tony Blackburn and of course, Keith Chegwin, all gave surprisingly good performances and played their parts for free. Watch out for Brian 'The Vampire' Stokes (Stephen Chance) who is brilliantly funny throughout the film.This movie isn't going to be for everyone. The scripting around Tony Blackburn's alter ego is not as strong and doesn't have the witty edge of the other characters. Also, at times, it drags slightly, it's easy to forget that people are getting killed due to the heavy focus on the romantic comedy between Danny and Dawn. However, overall the film is an enjoyable watch, and its fun.
