Review of Lord of the Flies

This is not a feature-length film as most are familiar. It's more like a film made by college students.

Here's my breakdown:

STORY: This is a rather unique story, especially as it's entirely about young pre and adolescent boys.

The fact that they are so young, though forced to act as adults, is what makes this so unique.

A telling story about human nature and environmental influence on what we become.

ACTING: As with British film, the acting was superb even in the young.

ENTERTAINMENT: Low - moderate value as this was obviously made on a shoe-string budget

TEMPO: OK, but slow by most standards

CINEMATOGRAPHY: Actually quite good as it's filmed on some beautiful, tropical beaches

MUSIC / SOUND: Quirky

DIRECTING / WRITING: Director: Brook co-wrote, directed and edited this ... normally I'd say "control-freak" but it's more likely he had no money.

You see a lot of TV work in his bio and it shows here.

Writers: See above

Is it a good film? More of a psycho-social docudrama, so not really

Should you watch this once? Not for entertainment, only as a study

Rating: 4.0.
