Clif Prowse and Derek Lee shouldn't have cast themsleves in the leads.

Clif Prowse and Derek Lee shouldn't have gone the route of M Night Shyamalan and cast themselves as the lead actors because they don't have a strong enough screen presence and basically ruined their own film by not casting more professional actors. Every time I watched the trailer I couldn't help but wonder who the hell decided to cast those goofy looking guys as the lead actors, taking away the essence of a good film by removing the stronger screen presence of someone who can actually act and has a better look. When I discovered that they wrote and directed the film it obviously made more sense but still annoyed me because the premise and effects of the film actually look quite compelling and well-done, it just gets ruined by these two filmmakers taking the opportunity to make it a vanity project by engrossing the entire film with themselves. Very few film directors who star in their own films are capable of pulling it off (Mel Gibson, Ben Affleck, Clint Eastwood) and those are usually actor-turned-directors, not the other way around. I've never seen it work the other way around. It just makes me think of M Night Shyamalan when he chose to write, direct, produce and act in his own films, portraying himself as a renaissance man when in reality he should have stuck to his strong points and left the other jobs to people more suited for the task (although I happen to think Shyamalan is a horrible director and even worse writer)

Does anyone agree?
