Monsters of the Id (12)

Odeon Southend

GB TVM 2006. Ambient Light/Calvertfilm. 74m.

Superheroes in people's dreams combat their various nightmares, which include an arch villain named Nemesis.

Imaginatively conceived computer animation on admittedly limited means, a little long and repetitive for its basic story, but with plenty of affectionate fantasy/adventure movie references (everything from Jaws to James Bond, Forbidden Planet to Star Wars, The Matrix, etc), and an impressive vocal cast.

Written and Directed by: Laurie Calvert.

Voices of Garrick Hagon, Eileen Daly, Phil Delancy, Rosie Jenkins, Marsha Crenshaw, Warwick Davis, Ed Bishop.

Music: Philip Guyler.
