Aaaaaaaah!

Where to start? Aaaaaaaah! has no dialogue, just grunts, groans and guttural sounds. Best to imagine it maybe as a movie from some parallel universe where apes have evolved with all the trappings of today, except language and social niceties. The film is the brainchild of writer/director Steve Oram, who you may remember playing one half of the serial-killer couple in British black comedy Sightseers. Julian Rhind-Tutt, Noel Fielding and former pop star Toyah Willcox also contribute to what passes for a plot, which sees alpha male Oram and sidekick Tom Meeten in a battle for supremacy with a community led by Rhind-Tutt and Willcox. The plot won't tax you too much, but what may take more thought is deciding whether this is a work of Pythonesque comic genius, or a movie take on The Emperor's New Clothes. While it may be a short-term novelty, one feels that public opinion will tend towards the latter.
