Getting this movie on YouTube, for just a few quid, knowing it was crowdfunded by a youtuber who reviews old, I mean classic video games and game systems and junk food from around the world was pretty important to my good impression. Comparing this to a Hollywood feature wouldn't be fair. I wouldn't call it "British humor" at all, in the sense it's not the dry, absurdist comedy Brits are known for. Although the setting is obviously England, even the tie-in to Polybius is tenuous- it started as a Seattle urban legend- no evidence of that here ;( Its basically a McGuffin. Definitely turn off your brain and don't worry too much about the plot. It stands up to watching with a lot of distractions and light conversation. Just casually put it on the telly with friends, have a smoke or a couple of pints, if we could do that anymore during COVID. sad face Maybe next year.
