What an underrated gem of a film!
You may be put off by the idea of a horror, but this is not that. It's weird and unpredictable and delightful and depressing and uplifting, all at the same time!
Excellent characters, they were all so vivid and performed brilliantly.
This is set in a part of the UK that doesn't really get much attention, and it makes you want to grab a bucket and spade and head down to the Essex shoreline for an adventure.
I don't want to spoil anything but I will probably be thinking about what I just watched for a LONG time!
It just goes to show that you don't need a billion dollars to make an entertaining movie, you just need talent and creativity.

Absolutely wonderful film. Manfish kept us guessing the entire time we watched and the twists and turns were funny and unexpected. The film caught us of guard and laughing the whole way through.
The acting was superb, having grown up around Essex and Canvey their portrayal was spot on.
Manfish was beautifully shot and edited and for the most part felt like it had a high production value.
We're very much looking forward to what the team have planned in the future and will eagerly await further projects
Well done to all. Would highly recommend Manfish to those who want an easy going horror comedy to watch.

Well done to all. Would highly recommend Manfish to those who want an easy going horror comedy to watch.
I have eagerly awaited the release of 'Manfish' for some time now. This film is right up my street. Great cinematography, subtle humour, brilliantly cast, an underdog story with a fantastic story line & great soundtrack.
I still recall funny lines and scenes, days after watching it, as do the others who watched it with me. Dean Kilbey is particularly outstanding with his performance. His portrayal of the character Terry is mesmerising. Emma Stannard plays a blinding role too with a killer performance. I definitely recommend that others watch it, especially if they like a good underdog story and a belly laugh.
An overall great watch, which was well worth the wait.

A great comedy horror with some great actors! Its funny, sad and crude all at the same time which kept me occupied the whole way through the movie. It has a really nice raw feel to it and some of the lines in this movie really made me laugh to the point where I keep thinking about them! Dean Kilbey plays the role of Terry (who is a very calm and placid character) perfectly and the supporting actors roles are pretty much the opposite to Terry which gives a really strong contrast which works really well. A great job. Well casted, well written and well worth the watch! I highly recommend this movie..
I didn't know what to expect when watching this, I watched it on a whim. But I can easily see this becoming a cult classic. It's sooo good. The humour really tickled me. The laughs just keep coming right up to the end too, it's hilarious. I love horror comedy, and this was a strong example.
All the actors are really strong, and sell it. Right down to the mannerisms.
I thought the creature design could have been better, but I love how expressive they managed to be with that mask. The story is simple between a man and his man fish, but honestly it's just fun. You can really tell so much about this film was intentionally done.
