“Feels off – is it the weird colours, fisheye lenses shots, kid actors or general vibe. Not sure.”
Someone else posted: “Really *not* a fan of the fisheye lens they’re using on Lord Of The Flies and blurred distorted periphery.
“Look at me screams the cinematographer – takes you out of the film and gives a surreal disorienting feel we don’t need.”
A person questioned: “What’s going on with the camera work, why is the cameraman in the sea? Did someone get a fish eye lens for Christmas?”
“Sorry, the BBC’s Lord Of The Flies is proving to be a hot mess”, a fellower viewer continued.

“Everything from unmotivated shots and cinematography to performances, casting, delivery, music score and tone.
“Could never do justice to the book but was hoping for something more than this.”
