    Just after finished watching this and thought it was very good actually.

    It's style and slight noir appearance reminded me of Rian Johnson's 'Brick' but with a lot more tongue-in-cheek humour.

    Great performances from Reece Thompson (also very good performance in 'Rocket Science') and Bruce Willis too.

    I read on Wikipedia that it was initially meant to get a theatrical release, but their distributors went bankrupt so it was only released on DVD recently.

    Anyways, I recommend giving it a watch. You could find worse ways to spend 90 minutes.

    I can't resist their shiny little smiles when their 4 fingered stubby branch hands take my money!
