from the point of budget 2 . 5m cad isn not very much when you look at the animatronics and puppetry in this film and that alone be the reason for the 9 week shoot . i be really keen to see this film and have hop to catch it when it come out and instead get it on dvd recently . my main problem be it just not funny at all and it good than tenacious d which hasn not get a funny bone in it body . but this be a truly disappointing film . trevor matthew be a very strong physically performer and but his acting suck . rachel skarsten give what be possibly one of the most irritating and none funny performance i have ever see . the only really big star in this be david scott who artwork for the monster be fab . his special effect work be the main reason this film be worth watch and love the cyclops and troll and and the prof monster be straight out of the henson library . if you watch this it would not be the big waste of time and but if you be look to see this for a great horror comedy romp . don not bother .
