"I Just Want To Take My Brain Out And Smash It On A Rock!"...
azathothpwiggins11 October 2021
Poor Kenneth (Duncan Casey) is a schlub and a nebbish. He's your basic doormat in a world full of muddy shoes.

One day, a green goblin -in a suit and tie not unlike Kenneth's- creeps out of Kenneth's ear, and begins mocking and menacing him. The odious creature follows him throughout his day, providing continuous commentary on his mundane existence.

No one else, including Kenneth's girlfriend, can see or hear the goblin.

Is Kenneth losing his mind? Has his id escaped the confines of his skull? Has his life suddenly become interesting?

KENNETH is a humorous, semi-poignant film from Scotland. It's the sort of film that a young Frank Henenlotter might have made before he discovered gore...

Depends on your sense of humour

Warning: Spoilers
KENNETH is a northern British comedy film made on an indie budget. It takes a surrealist approach in its tale of a down-on-his-luck guy who imagines that he's pursued by a wisecracking green-skinned goblin everywhere he goes. A lot of the film centres around supposed quirky comedy but I'm afraid to say that I didn't really find much of it very funny, although your taste may vary. I found the performances limited and the constant humour rather forced so it was a struggle to finish this one.

low budget but very well acted

Please don't be put off by low budget films as you will miss out on some real gems, Kenneth being one of them. This is one of my favourite films and I'm sure will make cult status. Have an open mind and watch it .. you wont regret it. Duncan ( lead ) plays Kenneth and Stephen ( ear goblin ) act well together and I'm sure both are set for bigger thing.

Creativity at its best!

My goodness, I loved every second of this film. It's one of my favorite movies! From the moment I first saw the trailer, I knew this film would be right up my alley. The entire movie flowed so nicely from scene to scene. This is an amazing film - it has humor, intelligence and emotion. The story is packed with originality. It takes the viewer on a ride of adventure. I've never seen anything like it before. It's a fun and creative movie from start to finish. Not only is the story great, but the cast is very talented too. I love the chemistry between all the characters. You'll love each and every one of them. I also dig the music score; it fits so perfectly. This movie will make you smile. So, grab some popcorn, sit back and enjoy this little gem.
