best movie i've ever seen.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

As actors, Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith are chameleons - they have a gift for transforming themselves into a variety of characters, young and old, male and female. Few, if any, of their characters are very appealing, though. As writers, they love the bizarre, the grotesque, the offensive - not necessarily a bad thing, but this show is often more bizarre and grotesque than it is entertaining. Still, the plot is tangled enough to keep you watching. The second season plays more like a slasher film, with the main characters of the first season getting eliminated one-by-one, and it feels disjointed, but they do manage to pull it all together with a good twist at the end. It's hard to recommend (or not) this show because it's for specialized tastes only, maybe the best advice would be to watch one or two episodes to see how it tastes to you. **1/2 out of 4.

I discovered this after enjoying Inside No 9. (Not a fan of The League.) Psychoville has twisted and memorable characters. The plot is gripping and successfully combines horror with humour. Also, Reece and Steve constantly homage their favourite films. One episode is set entirely in one location, reminding me of how No 9 works. Their commentaries on the DVDs are entertaining and informative. It is a shame Series 3 didn't go ahead, but there aren't any loose ends. I especially loved Reece's characters which include a bitter clown and an obsessive librarian. Dawn French is fabulous. Steve's best character is the man-child, David. There are no weak performances. The music adds to the atmosphere perfectly. Nothing is predictable. The Halloween Special is certainly the best I've seen. For the whole, Psychoville is a delicious treat at any time of the year!

I never saw The League of Gentlemen, I have only ever seen bits and pieces of it, so I decided I would give the same stars and writers, Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton, a chance in this new series. Basically the series is set in different parts of England and revolves are five different character story lines: serial killer-obsessed man-child David Sowerbutts (Pemberton) who still lives with his mother Maureen (Shearsmith); embittered one-handed children's entertainer Mr. Jelly (Shearsmith), blind millionaire Oscar Lomax (Pemberton) who collects Beanie Baby stuffed toy animals, midwife Joy Aston (Dawn French) who treats a practise baby doll as if was a real child, and (for the first series) pantomime dwarf Robert Greenspan (Jason Tompkins) in love with his Snow White who has the power of telekinesis. The five characters are connected by a mysterious blackmailer, they are all brought together by a message, and then they find out they were all once in the same institute under the watch of Edwina Kenchington (Eileen Atkins) for their conditions, the second series and Halloween special follow their exploits after as Grace Andrews (Imelda Staunton) tries to bring most of them together as part of a dark conspiracy plot. Also starring Daniel Kaluuya as Tealeaf, Daisy Haggard as Debbie, Lisa Hammond as Kerry, Daniel Ings as Kelvin, Mark Bonnar as Detective Finney, Adrian Scarborough as Mr. Jolly, Miranda's James Holmes as Simon, Christopher Biggins, David Bamber as Robin, Miranda's Dominic Coleman as Colin, EastEnders' Natalie Cassidy as Lorraine, Mark Gatiss as Jason Griffin, Richard Bacon as Interviewer, John Landis as Director, Andi Osho as Registrar and Katherine Parkinson as Fiona. The characters all have their amusing quirks and interesting individual story lines, especially Mr. Jelly and Oscar Lomax, Shearsmith and Pemberton are fantastic playing their numerous, French is almost terrifying in her part, Staunton is creepy as the secret organisation leader and the other supporting cast members do well, the interconnecting things going on work and come together well, it is both dark and funny, a terrific black comedy mystery psychological thriller. Very good!

Maybe it's not as funny as The League, but it's brilliant! If you really are a fan of dark comedy, then nothing can please you more than Psychoville. It's the darkest and weirdest comedy I have ever seen! It never gets boring, since it's full of surprises. You never know what is going to happen next. So, apart from being funny, it's suspenseful as well. Amazing how many ideas two comedians can have. Rece's and Steve's abilities to play different characters are amazing. I bet most actors can't change that much.Production values are very high, it's movie quality. Pity it lasted only two seasons.
