I'll be reviewing this over the next few days. Eiga-Kevin2 (talk - contribs) 21:05, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On first glace, a few things catch my eye right away as unnecessary and/or in need of immediate correction or discussion.
Infobox:
  • There are people mentioned only in the infobox and their names are not followed by a reference. I suggest if possible, cover those credited under "additional writing by" in the Production section instead.
    • Mentioned and cited.
  • Rickety Shack Films and Independent Online Cinema are not mentioned elsewhere and are not sourced.
    • Mentioned and cited.
  • The mention of "Box office: £0 (distributed free)" seems totally unnecessary to me and should probably be removed.
    • Removed.
Lead section:
  • Seems way to over-referenced, especially since most of these paragraphs are covered with those references elsewhere in the article.
    • Removed most of them.
  • Quote could be covered as a footnote instead of a reference
    • Done.
  • The film's director and stars should be mentioned here per MOS:FILMLEAD
    • Added.
Plot:
The first paragraph should probably be covered as a footnote.
    • Done.
Production:
  • Needs info on development or pre-production if possible per MOS:FILMPRODUCTION. Suggest some of the Legal issues coverage goes under that.
    • Moved.
  • Principal photography should probably be titled "Filming" as it is more recognizable
    • Done.
  • Track list should be removed per MOS:FILMMUSIC and is unsourced.
    • Done.
  • I suggest merging "Visual effects" and "audio" sub-sections
    • Done.
Reception:
  • Suggest retitling this "Release and reception" as it covers both of those
    • Moved Release to separate section.
  • The bit about the trailer being blocked should probably go here as well
    • Done.
  • Critical response looks like it has way too many quotes and should be rewritten per WP:RECEPTION.
    • Done.
I'll assess all of the sources and external links shortly, but the few I've looked at so far seem fine. Eiga-Kevin2 (talk) 21:58, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As you please; GA asks only for spot-checks.

A few more things

[edit]
  • Cast members shouldn't be mentioned in the Plot as they are covered in the following section per MOS:FILMPLOT.
    • Removed.
  • "an interval which was" -> "which" should be "that"
    • Edited, but note this is British English.
  • "Production was by Rickety Shack Films and Independent Online Cinema" -> "Rickety Shack Films and Independent Online Cinema handled the production"
    • Done.
  • "Cinematography was by John-Paul Frazer, Gareth Brough, Mike Ritchie, Neill Phillips, Stein Stie, and Chris Child." -> "John-Paul Frazer, Gareth Brough, Mike Ritchie, Neill Phillips, Stein Stie, and Chris Child served as the cinematographers."
    • Done. I hope that "served as" doesn't imply amateurishness.
  • Some more minor things I noticed: should uncapitalize Matte Painters.
    • Done.
  • Link Chris Bouchard the first time he's mentioned in the Production section soley instead.
    • Done.
  • Archive some of the sources.
    • Bot has added 9 archives.
  • Overall, looks much better now, I found no plagiarism, and most the sources look fine and reliable, except maybe how-do.co.uk.
    • Noted. It's just an industry newsletter, quite harmless and reliable.
  • Also suggest turning the reviews in the External links into references.
    • One was dead (even in archive); the other was virus-infected (even in archive). Removed both.
