The Barge People - new movie

[magictime]

Fed up with all those TV shows tempting new people on to the canals with their idyllic image of boating?

 

At last we have a movie designed to put people off! I expect to see much less congestion after this.

Maybe they're saving that for Barge People 2: Urban Mutation

Based on true facts that preceded the horror that was Hydraulic Granny Gear.

The story of everyday Bargee Travellers folk

Is it about The Barge at Honey Street?

So, now, instead of us all listening for a drip from a roof vent or other trivial things we need to prepare against the zombie invasion on our boats. Thanks! Got a lot of respect for the makeup, kitsch, schlock, wry comedy and cinematography going back to Night of the living dead, dawn of the dead etc. but crows stomping on the boat roof are enough without thinking it may be a face-eating monster.

Just keep your chainsaw under your pillow and you be ready

No, the smell of petrol would be too much, but I do keep my adze under the bed because it gets used so infrequently.

Having watched the trailer now, I have to say I'm not convinced that film is a very accurate documentary.

It's a compilation of the outtakes from '5 zombie celebrities go barging about Britain on a  narrowboat' or whatever it's called. Give it its dues, if you're into zombie flicks, it seems to have it all

 

eta: i called it a zombie film but the trailer has hints of Deliverance. Where was the boat trip? Yorkshire?
