A brilliant film - watch it!


Relaxed and convincing acting, a great story, super direction and our favourite cast. I watched this on a day off and my day felt wholesome. I loved all of it. Makes you proud to be British and I say thanks to all the people who made it. Very nice and a future cult film.

I'd agree it might become a cult classic. Like Plan 9 from Outer space...

Hi Rollo vs Brendan Foley,

I wonder what sort of person registers himself in this name?

You registered yourself in December 200, at a time when The Riddle wasn't even finished and had been shown to no one.

Obviously, you're a person who holds a personal grudge against Brendan. Why don't you come straight out and say so rather than hiding yourself this way?

Taking it out on the work of Brendan isn't really fair. For one, it's cowardly and two, it's not serious and may not even be true of how you really feel about the work but only of of how you feel about the person. For whatever reason - justified or not.

Whatever your reasoning for this subversive and (I feel) perverted campaign is, come out of the closet and show your true colours!

Anything less would, to me, just confirm that you are not to be taken seriously.

And, seriously, it would take a lot to convince me that anyone registered under that name, and with your track-record as far as negative comments are concerned, hadn't, perhaps even unjustifiably, a serious grudge against the person, and nothing against the film...

Yours,

Lars Hermann
Producer, The Riddle

Is this thread for real?

I truely cannot believe anyone would give this film such high praises if they actually watched it. It is clear that if this is not a joke, this 'review' has written by someone in the production team or crew.

By writing such a thing like this is only going to make the viewers they've tricked into watching this even more angry at the film and crew that they've fallen for it.

I have never in my life been so upset by a film to the point where I had to start voting on this website.

It's okay. I think there's foul play going on here, it's plain for anyone to see, and that's the upsetting thing. Films are good and films are bad. I was actually on the set of this film and sure, it was pretty much a shambles, the acting included, and to be honest, would have been a lot happier if it had stayed where it started but when such talent is hired it's not a surprise they want to make some deal out of it. I think the Producer should not bother his time on a website like this... it comes off as rather desperate. You can't make the people love you after all.

"Nothing personal" ?

I think other readers should know that your previous name was brendan_foley_sucks and the only reviews *you* have written are for The Riddle and a Bog Bodies trailer.

reply

- that while Rollo's not written reviews for those films, Pitcairn has only ever posted on the Brendan Foley-related topics.


"This time it's no more Mr. Passive Resistance!"

What are you talking about? Rollo's done neither. If he did he'd have told me.
