7/10

One of the most important directors of our time, Peter Jackson's extremely high-quality and must-see production! It starts at a high level and continues that way. The narrator's voice and tone are very fitting and captivating for the overall atmosphere. The humorous parts are very pleasant and placed in just the right dose. The hoax was quite successful in New Zealand because the fabricated film looked convincingly like an almost hundred-year-old, nearly destroyed film—so you can't really blame people for buying it.
