Jethro: The Beast of Bodmin Moor

About This Movie

So, Jethro: The Beast of Bodmin Moor is this oddball mix of comedy and storytelling that's just, well, a ride. It’s got Jethro, who’s got this cheeky charm, and he spins these wild yarns that keep you chuckling. The practical effects are minimal, but that adds to its quirky charm – you’re not here for high production values, but for the local humor and Jethro's engaging delivery. The pacing has a laid-back feel, typical of 90s comedy shows, which gives it a cozy vibe, almost like listening to an old friend recount some wild stories from back home. It’s distinct in its regional flavor, capturing a slice of Cornish life that you don’t see often in films.

This film has been released on various formats over the years, but it’s still not the easiest title to track down. Its cult status within certain collector circles is fueled by Jethro's persona and the distinct regional humor. Given its age and niche appeal, it tends to attract those interested in offbeat British comedies or fans of Jethro's work. Variants of the VHS and rare DVD editions often spark interest, especially those featuring behind-the-scenes content or live performance footage.
