Right from the start, I was drawn into the world of the characters; their hopes; their struggles; their desperation. It's portrayal of Canvey Island is real and authentic, which is perfectly contrasted by the strange and obscure events that come to unfold. Even though the story centres around the relationship between a simple bloke and a manfish, I still felt grounded in reality and convinced that something like this could actually happen! Dean Kilbey is superb as Terry, alongside the equally impressive Emma Standard as Tracy. By the end of the film, I felt genuinely moved. Well worth a watch if you are looking for something fun and off the beaten track.
