    I loved this film. Fantastic story, brilliant soundtrack and well acted. Well done to Damian Samuels, I can't wait for his next film!
  • Predictable, didn't laugh.. not even at the kooky kazoo soundtrack

    I thought it was shot well and looked really nice in HD, the acting was ok. As soon as I saw the mermaid in the pool I had predicted the ending which spoilt it for me. There wasn't any comedic surprises or moments that made me laugh. It reminded me a bit of the chuckle brothers. I felt the kazoo soundtrack took away any hope of this being perceived as a dark comedy. I wouldn't even call it a comedy, there really wasn't anything to laugh at unless you find kazoos hilarious.
  • Worth Tuna-ing in!

    An excellent short with real character and depth. Well acted and shot with a real sense of detail in all aspects the work. Great settings and music. It seems that Samuels et al are real talents and need to be given more opportunities to show case their skills. Well done iTunes for letting this be published.
  • One of the best

    This is a delightful short film - my only complaint would be that I wanted more! Quirky, decidedly British and beautifully made by a talented cast and crew! A feast for the eyes and ears! A follow-up, please!

    What a brilliant short film! Capturing a run-down British seaside resort with affection and humour in equal measure, and with a twist that M. Night Shyamalan himself would be proud of! Superbly acted, a wickedly funny story, and a well-suited soundtrack.
  • A sweet little short!

    You can't help but love this sweet little short. From the soundtrack to the superb acting, Fish! is a well rounded and entertaining 7 minutes. Well done to all involved.
  • Splash meets Benny Hill meets Brighton Rock

    I'll admit I downloaded this by accident but I love it. It even has a kazoo soundtrack, marvellous!
  • Sur-reely good!

    Like Benny Hill meets Reservoir Dogs. Those of you familiar with Eccleston's work as a critic on Radio 4, Sky etc. will recognise the slightly self-deprecating and earthy tone to the whole short as well as a number of visual references to some classic cult fims of the last 25 years. It is a brave thing to go from critic to film-maker but the elegant simplicity of Eccleston's story-telling structure gives Damian a chance to shine in this role. Could the line have been left baited for a sequel......?
