A horror-film director creates real-life terror in Little Big Boy, a film, putting it politely, unlike any other you’re likely to see. It tells the story of acclaimed horror film director Jimmy Duncan, who, having witnessed the murder of his mother at the age of seven, grows up at an orphanage and as an adult works his way up in the movie industry.
Little Big Boy is a mockumentary that chronicles the rise and fall of B-Movie director Jimmy Duncan. Jimmy is an eccentric director of trashy no-budget horror films, struggling to get his latest film made. After his lead actress walks off the set following an altercation, the studio is putting pressure on Jimmy to re-cast the part, and finish production of the film, otherwise his career is over. The tension starts to build, and Jimmy allegedly lashes out in violence. This mockumentary takes place after Jimmy has been arrested for multiple counts of murder, and interviews everyone who’s ever encountered the notoriously tempered director, to try and figure out what sent him over the edge.
Unless you’re a part of a very distinct target audience that has been following the ultra low budget horror scene, you’re unlikely to find much entertainment value here. Without seeming nit-picky, the acting throughout the film is beyond atrocious. Excuses like low budget can’t be made when something comes across this drull, as many other productions, in some cases with any less financial backing, still come away with a much better product.
Another thing that makes this film a task to watch is the excessive green screen work. Every set, even something as tedious as a bedroom, is handled in this fashion. It’s rough on the eyes, and gets steadily worse as the film progresses. It accomplishes nothing except providing an irritating headache.
OVERALL SUMMARY
It just felt like a chore to sit through this film, and even with the excessive nudity there was just no entertainment to be had.
