ManFish

Absolutely wonderful film. Manfish kept us guessing the entire time we watched and the twists and turns were funny and unexpected. The film caught us of guard and laughing the whole way through.

The acting was superb, having grown up around Essex and Canvey their portrayal was spot on.

Manfish was beautifully shot and edited and for the most part felt like it had a high production value.

We're very much looking forward to what the team have planned in the future and will eagerly await further projects

Well done to all. Would highly recommend Manfish to those who want an easy going horror comedy to watch.

Actually got round to watching this & thoroughly enjoyed the whole film & the story line , found it very funny along with some tense stuff & also found it emotional at times especially with parts of Manfish scenes , great acting especially from Dean who plays Terry & he played that role so well along with the rest of the cast especially the character Tracy . The Manfish costume was excellent & loved the way he came across with his different emotions which you could feel while watching , great cinematography & thought it started really well so i was glued to it all the way through , definitely recommend this film, well worth a watch .

I went into watching this not knowing what to expect as a friend of mine just said I had to watch it.

I'm so pleased I did as it is such a great film. The writing is spot on and a lot funnier then I thought it would be and the cast and crew do an amazing performance of making it feel more then a indie film.

The mask used for the manfish creature is brilliant. And the creatures performance is like a fishy mr bean. Just a few movements to express himself but funny to watch.

Definitely give this film ago. I don't want to talk about scenes and spoil it so just give it ago. I can't wait to see what the cast and crew get up to in the future.

What a wild ride, you feel for Terry player by the talented Dean Kilbey as he's downtrodden by his dastardly brother and girlfriend, until his new beach discovery comes to change his life forever! Great original story, fantastic acting and wonderful cinematography. Matty Noble who plays the creature expresses so much without any words and you find yourself rooting for him and Terry! This is truly one to watch , it's funny , it's moving and ultimately a great laugh , highly recommend this awesome movie ! And you will never look at a seashell jewellery box the same again ! A creature feature you will love.

Manfish (2022) is a United Kingdom horror comedy that was recently added to Shudder. The storyline follows a down on his luck island man whose older brother bosses him around and his wife cheats on him...with his older brother. One day he comes across a manfish washed up on shore and unconscious. His wife helps him bring the Manfish home in hopes of selling it for a lot of money. As the man becomes friends with the Manfish he starts doubting the plan...

This picture is written and directed by Marc Coleman, in his directorial debut, and stars Dean Kilbey (A Song from the Dark), Emma Stannard, Jon Campling (The Northman) and Liam Noble (National Treasures).

The storyline actually reminded me a little of The Lighthouse, if they went too far with some of the scenarios. The concept had some potential and the writing isn't awful. The Manfish costume reminded me of The Creature from the Black Lagoon. The kills had great blood splatter but could have used more gore. There's some kissing scenes in this that are hard to watch. The ending was disappointing and had me rolling my eyes. This was a frustrating picture that made me wonder why I gave it a shot when it was finally over.

Overall, this is a film with a few good premises and lines, worthwhile acting, but wasn't executed as well as it could have been. I would score this a 3/10 and recommend skipping it.
