Taking Out the Neighbours

I'll admit I wasn't sure what to expect but i turned out to be excellent. It's set in the North of England where an evening goes horribly wrong. I found it a well thought out film and very funny. Obviously it's low budget but that didn't matter at all. The accents are northern so you sometimes need to concentrate a little bit but the accents were entirely necessary. It was a shame that it was only an hour long as I could happily of watched this as a longer film and the very short "action" sequences could of been a little better. A solid 7/10 from me and well worth your time. I do hope they make more films.

I'd never heard of this film or any of the people in it, but I went ahead and watched the trailer anyway. It caught my interest enough that I thought I'd "start watching it," figuring that I'd never finish it. But I found this very enjoyable. Definitely entertaining to the extent that I was happy to be wrong. The premise is ridiculous, for sure, but it's done with total, good-natured humor. There are more than a few decent laughs, and at least one that still has me giggling when I think about it. It's worth the watch, especially because It's kind of short...less than an hour. I don't know that I'd plan a whole evening around it, but I would recommend it as a time-killer.

I don't normally give low budget British Movies the time of day but I watched this with a friend after stumbling upon it online. I surprisingly enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. It was a good pace and really funny with lots of witty one liners. Unfortunately the 2 dimensional acting spoils it. The lead guy and the dead body act the two ladies off the screen. They were boring, and bring the whole movie down when ever they speak with their flat unengaging delivery. However if you can get past that the film is still very funny and I would recommend it The end scene with "Ghost of Chavy Past" actually made laugh out loud and was one of the many high lights in this quirky little Movie Get better actors next time.

This film is very fast paced with lots of quick dialogue and jokes you sometimes miss the first time watching. I was recommended this film by a friend as the sense of humor was just up my street and thoroughly enjoyed this delightful Jem. It wastes no time getting into it and induces the characters and the situation they are in very quickly. Steve and Emma had great chemistry and bounce off each other beautifully, They are both very relatable and give a convincing performance. I would like to have seen more of the Sonia ghost character, as when the layers where stripped down I felt she was just misunderstood. However It never loses pace and jokes just keep coming. I love seeing the North of England on film so well done everyone involved you have done the north proud.

I was brought up in the area where this is filmed, so I had been looking forward to seeing it. The opening shots from around the town, were probably the highlight of the movie. Once the 'actors", (for want of a better word), entered the film, it just went completely downhill. The "local" accents were terrible, the female lead Amanda Dryden-Wlaker sounds more like a Geordie (from Newcastle) than a Teessider. The plot was basically a rip off from "Weekend At Bernies", where a dead body is carried around, to hide the fact that it is dead. Even though the film is around an hour in length, I turned it off well before the end, it was all I could stand. Absolutely awful, a complete waste of time, spent watching it.

Loved this movie. It was funny and the cast were brilliant. Very gripping. The camera work was done well and the location's were spot on to fit the movie. Mark Spaynes performance was fantastic and I loved the detail that he added into it. This movie is a great addition to the North East and its a movie that most adults would probably enjoy. I can't find any negatives about the movie because I can see how much hard work was put into this production. Well done smoggie productions and I look forward to your next movie. Highly recommend to anyone who likes a laugh, a good storyline and a movie that isn't too long to watch.
