Stitches



Imagine if Judd Apatow met Stephen King in a pub in Ireland had one too many Guinness’s and decided right there and then to begin shooting a film casting the local school children , with the obvious result of an hilarious devilishly black comedy, then you’ve got a slight inkling of what you are in for in this movie.

WARNING do NOT watch if you are afraid of clowns, especially nasty old swearing ones.  This film was gruesome, with some of the best grisly bits done practically rather than with CGI, which makes a refreshing change but also makes even worse to watch. 

Expect to be hiding behind your hands one minute and be laughing, quite literally, out loud the next.

It was shown in 140 cinemas across the country simultaneously on Thursday night with a live Q&A with the director and Ross Noble shown afterwards, which was just as entertaining as the film.  It is not being shown at many cinemas now but is out on DVD in February.  If you like eyeballs on umbrellas, the phrase “ya bastard” and laughing then this deffo one you have to get on DVD.
