" A five-pointed star is nailed to a door - now the young boy George (Douglas Croft at age 13), who is the one hammering the gilt star to his own dressing room door, has become a cocky 'Peck's Bad Boy' - the precocious boy has learned his part way too well.The film's tagline proclaimed:"Your eyes...Your ears...Your senses...will be overwhelmed."However, the surreal, epic-type film counterposes its superlative photography with a slim tale of working class protagonists, old with sparse dialogue and the jarring, quirky, drawling, and dispassionate, colloquial voice-over narration of a streetwise, but unschooled 13 year old girl (Manz).[Ron's pet rat Scabbers was - in fact - traitorous Peter Pettigrew.]Suddenly, Professor Snape entered the room, eager to apprehend Black and turn him over to the Dementors.The producer and his wife are thoroughly bored with his disjointed, unrealistic script.The increasingly incredulous Producer insists on reading the script outloud and the scene shifts o "a film within a film.Standing on a service ladder just above the torrent of liquid, the two of them witnessed Jason's demise, when he melted in the approaching, rushing flood of deadly toxic waste -- a regularly-scheduled flooding within the sewage pipes every night at midnight.
