FRANKULA is a British short comedy that clocks in at 7 minutes. Made on hardly any budget at all, it takes place in a house and a graveyard and gently spoofs both the main character and the old Hammer horror genre at the same time. It's basically a piece for fans of the actors involved, and thus can't be considered a 'proper' movie; you have to try to avoid cringing at the humour (which is something a 5 year-old might enjoy) and instead enjoy the spirit of the thing.
Former TV star David Barry plays Frankie Abbott, the same character he played in PLEASE SIR! and THE FENN STREET GANG back in the day. Now he's an old-timer, being looked after by a carer (Emma Dark, who gives the worst performance) and dreaming that he's caught up in a world of vampires and...chips. FRANKULA doesn't have much going for it, but there are cameos from a headlining Caroline Munro alongside Judy Matheson, and brief narration from Fenella Fielding. Be gentle with it.
