Review of Hogfather (2007) by Lindsay W — 25 Aug 2012
Fantastically inventive, Hogfather is a feast of the dark and unusual. Although the story wanes a little towards the end, all-in-all it's a nice production with intelligent dialogue. The effects and costumes make it apparent this is made for TV, but they don't scream it and in some places are actually quite well done for the medium. Ian Richardson as the voice of Death is perfection, and Michelle Dockery (of now Downton Abbey fame) is a very strong female lead.
"It was some time after its creation when most people forgot that the very oldest stories of the beginning are, sooner or later, about... blood. At least, that's one theory. The philosopher Didactylos has suggested an alternative hypothesis: "Things just happen. What the hell."".
