A thought provoking and entertaining movie.

I loved the movie because it entertained me and made me think of the future in equal measure. It conveys a serious message in a light hearted way. The movie is well produced and directed and has the feel of a big budget movie.

An excellent, mind boggling movie, A must-see for Londoners,

Right from the start, this movies keeps you on the edge of your seat, controlling both your mind and soul. A fantastic sci-fi movie with a realistic approach, mixed with threads of comedy; a must-see for Londoners.

The unique plot was well laid out and easily to follow for both sci-fi enthusiasts and newcomers.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, it sparked off a realistic spectrum of enthusiastic ideas for the future.

This is definitely one of my favourite sci-fi flicks - don't miss it!

Bloody Awful

London, one year from today... The dogs of England are dying, of "Mad Dog Disease," and Rabbie Burns, young drifter and certified schizophrenic, is hearing voices again - on Underground trains, over supermarket speakers, and on his own T.V. He has 30 hours, a last weekend, to save the world from itself, before the "Supreme Being" himself loses patience and starts over, with a new species.

And we're supposed to care? The movie is a mess. It's awful in the way can only be achieved in the UK. Not really a drama. I suppose it's a comedy of sorts, but it's not so funny. But it IS boring. There's even a guy with a bad pig snout on the tellie.

There are only a handful of reviews. One says to watch it stoned. I don't think that would help.

And another -- obviously from someone linked to the director -- give it ten stars! It's bloody awful.

Bizarre fun

I really really liked this film. I couldn't tell you why (though an early warping by monty python, red dwarf, ghost stories and apocalyptic movies might have had something to do with it) and it's definitely NOT for everyone. I don't think I could predict who will like this film but I have a sneaking suspicion that mundanes need not apply. Ghost stories around the campfire at night at the age of 30? probably. Yuppie? probably not. If you do like this you might check out Dead Gentleman Productions' Demon Hunters. Sillier with a lower budget, but...it's worth a check out. Only one burning question remains for me... What was up with that damn bulldog?

Quotes
[first lines]
Dr. Mackenzie: I would get a job if I was you.
Rabbie Burns: A job?
Dr. Mackenzie: Aye, an undertaking or an appointment with a future profit, even of a trifling or temporary nature.
Rabbie Burns: I don't know about that.
Dr. Mackenzie: Well I can't keep you in the program any more, Rabbie. You're a 100% successful remission. You know, you are my pride and joy, Rabbie.
Rabbie Burns: Well I don't feel too grand at the moment.
Dr. Mackenzie: Are you hearing the voices again?
Rabbie Burns: N-no.
Dr. Mackenzie: You taken your pills today?
Rabbie Burns: Religiously.
Dr. Mackenzie: Well you can throw them away, because they're placebos.
Rabbie Burns: Eh, come again?
Dr. Mackenzie: Placebos, Rabbie. A medicine given to humor or gratify a patient, without having to exercise any curative effects. In a word, rubbish.
Rabbie Burns: I thought I was feeling a bit less ship shape.
Dr. Mackenzie: It's in your head Rabbie. That's what you've had for the last 21 days. Off the drugs and no relapses. It's all in the mind!
Rabbie Burns: So that's it then.
Dr. Mackenzie: That's it Rabbie! I've got to be going, your the last appointment of the week. Now have a good Sabbath. Go forth and do not multiply. Come and see me in three weeks time. Here's my office number if you need me before that. After hours leave a message. I *can* be there in an emergency. Anything short of an emergency and the wrath of God will descend upon in terrible and consuming fury!
