    The worst film ever made. Period.

    I awarded this film zero stars in the absence of a lesser rating. It is, quite simply, as I suggest above, the worst film ever made. It makes Plan 9 from Outer Space look like The Battleship Potemkin. For this reason it should be seen. Well, not in its entirety, but for a few minutes. With mates. And several beers. You will LAUGH. But for Pete's sake switch it off after ten minutes or so. Because then it stops being amusing and becomes an excruciating experience. A painful, painful reminder that popular British cinema actually died some time in the early seventies, and that 20 years later it had come to this, the cinematic equivalent of a faltering, in-bred, post-apocalyptic society. It stars Norman Wisdom in a serious role. Norman, bless him, is now 92 and is confined to a home. He suffers from vascular dementia. There is evidence here that he actually had it a lot earlier than we thought.

    T he unlikely casting of (Sir) Norman Wisdom worked for me and Chloe Annett was as ever a joy to watch. Simon Ward played a convincing villain and the location shots were superb.
