I think its sad that Mr.D is at work again I worked there for a short time and as with many others am still owed money, I just wish I could tell everyone to stay well away as every story told is true. How he carries on amazes me.

Looks like we're about to be presented with some more offerings from the Cornish Phoney! IF he ever gets them finished! LOL.
Time's getting tight before the council pulls his "studios" down and some of his contractors have pulled out, despite him trying to persuade them by assault HaHa!

My goodness gracious!  Well, isn't that an unexpected fly-ball to left field!  I do an email exchange four years ago and POW! get a smack in the snoot from someone prowling the archives.  Actually, I know a little about a whole lot; sorry you were disappointed, Mr. Anonymous Cheyanne Cody (lonely man, Cheyanne, where will you be sleepin' tonight?  Yes, I'm old enough to remember the show.)  Perhaps next time we should concentrate less on one topic and cover a broader ground in two sentences or less.

Read Mr. Newsoms interview.  Never knew that one person knew so much about nothing.  Almost like being on a bad drug trip reading all that useless information.

I watched Kannibal last night and totally agree with everything you say MJ. It is a shameful rip off and Driscoll could have saved a helluva lot of cash by just cutting scenes from Hannibal and other flicks he's plagurised, and editing them in a different order.  At least the acting would have been better. But if he had done that he would'nt have managed to place himself in almost every scene, so that would'nt appeal to this talentless egomaniac. I have to say that the high point was definately the Tosca comment. I thought it was a joke until I heard it for real. Me and my mates skipped it back 5 times as we could not believe it. Verdict - amatuer hilarious idiotic garbage made to please one person only - its meglamaniac creator.

I don't see how anyone could watch ANY richard driscol film all the way through. The comic, kannibal and evil calls are all collections of short scenes, badly made and ripped off from real films; thrown together with no connection.
Can nobody stop him from spewing forth more of this puerile, inane gargage?

Another great resource for filmmakers is Filmbay the Global Independent Film Community and Shop.

time bomb
just seen evil calls, its not half as bad as your review suggests. Don't get me wrong it's no masterpiece and is quite confusing, but all in all i enjoyed.

Did the makers bully you or something simpson, you really seem to have it in for them.

Fair enough, I didn't read that so I jumped the gun. Thanks for clearing that up, however how do you define what a film sets out to do? That's a very subjective way to judge, saying that reviewing films is always subjective I suposse

MJ I have read a lot of your reviews and at times don't really understand your reasoning behind the judgements you make.

I have seen quite a lot of the films you review, and some of the films you give with an A, I mean come on! You have films with an A, which are very low budget with little production budget. If they are an A, with A being the highest does that mean you rate them as high as some of the oscar winning classics?

Apart from the silly rating I do enjoy reading about these obscure works.

Keep it up.

This is clearly explained on the front page: "Films are rated on how well they achieve what they set out to do, rather than against some absolute scale"

B movies rock!!!
To be fair to Mr. Simpson though, at least he wrote a biography, never an easy challenge and while okay it's not great a good effort just for the attempt.

I enjoy the reviews, people seem to forget that Simpson doesn't get paid for this and does it all out of his own time. A very well done to him I say, at least someone is reviewing this stuff.

The man has a hobby which helps us all hear about these films.

Why don't you apply to Gorezone, I'm sure they would like to publish your reviews, a friend of mine is an amatur critic and they published some of his stuff.

Keep up the good work!

I would normally delete a childish comment like this but I'm leaving it intact so that the comment above makes sense.

Hi

Stuff about Richard Driscoll is very funny to read. I have had the dubious honour of working at the House of Fear. Staff turnover is very quick and wages are very low. Most technicians are found from the local Job Centre via New Deal. Wouldn't surprise me if the police raid the site at some point. The man is every bit of a muppet as you'd expect. Christ knows how he actually gets the things made.

Hello, M J, I've been enjoying your site and your reviews for years and just thought I'd drop by and let you know.  I get a particular charge out of The Richard Driscoll Experience, probably for the same reasons that you do when you write it.  I too purchased a dvd of Evil Calls, taking them up on their offer of free shipping anywhere in the world (I live in Canada but I have a multi-system tv & dvd player, to answer your next question).  Even though I ordered it on March 2nd, I unfortunately didn't receive it until after the 14th so I was patently excluded from entering the contest.  It's too bad, I would have--and I even had a decent idea for a film, albeit no previous experience but as you pointed out, that wasn't a prerequisite--just to see what would have happened.  Ah, well... I thought it was an improvement compared to his last effort, mainly because he ripped off better movies and better scripts.  It did appear to be going somewhere, but it ended before it got there.  But I like Eileen Daly--she and I met recently--so I suppose the rest of me doesn't care what Mr. Driscoll/Craine does.  Anyway, nice talking to you.  All the best, Kathryn.
