Combines a heightened sense of English normality with the logic of madness. This low budget, black comedy is David Hoyle's feature debut and he is joined by pornstar Ashley Ryder as his nephew. Both actors are improvising their lines which gives the whole work an edginess, heightened by the atmosphere of an out-of-season caravan-park on the Isle of Sheppey. The banalities of conversation between uncle and nephew are thrown into the realms of the utterly unconventional when we realise that not only are they involved in a sexual relationship but there is a sinister reason for their holiday. We are drawn into a world of disturbing madness, whose cracked logic is delivered with an unnerving avuncular charm. EXTRAS Cast & Crew Commentary Early sketches of Uncle David Review: Not what you might be expecting - This film is wierd, there's no denying that, and is unlike any film I have ever seen. It is a story of two bizaar and difficult to read characters, but that's what makes it so good - you can't guess what's going to happen. There are some moments where you are drawn into sympathizing with the characters, which are turned around in a breath by some throwaway comment. I still can't work out whether the makers' intent was for the audience to feel any empathy for the characters, but I suspect that there may be some element of challenging the audience's ability to do this in there. If you want an example of alienation in film then you should see this. Review: 4 stars for originality! 2 stars for execution! - I once talked about about this film David Hoyle in person. "It was just art for arts sake, really." was what Hoyle said. Meaning that the filmmakers didn't take this project anywhere near as seriously as some viewers did. They were simply creating something off the cuff. I personally found the film to be very amusing in parts, in a dark and random way. But to get deeper about the plot. I see three possible explanations: A) Uncle David does - in spite of obvious personal mental health issues - genuinely believe that Ashley is far too good, simple, vulnerable and beautiful for this cold and cruel world that he will only be taken advantage of and chewed up and spat out and become a dispirited person that he would sooner spare him the ugly truth of survival (and not to mention job interviews, the rat race and begging for mortgages) in this uncaring world by killing him.....with his permission, of course. Or B) That Uncle David was actually a narcissistic brain-washer that has been grooming Ashley all of his life and took advantage of his simple-mindedness and lack of stability to sew his wild oats and control his mind to such a level that the boy (who is actually a 20-something man) allows him to kill him? Or there is option C) which is a mix of both the A) and B) theories which make for an even more complex and disturbing schizophrenic theory. But unfortunately this is all inconsequential as most people won't be open-minded enough to appreciate some of the deeper ideas the film has to offer, as the film's execution is far too raw for most mainstream tastes. Had this film come out 30 years ago, with more money and better execution, then it would have probably had better life. But it goes without saying that 'Uncle David' is a film unlike any other. I think a director's cut is required in order to tighten up some of the film's more clumsy execution and pacing. But it is what it is, and you will either love it or hate it! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Ashley Ryder, David Hoyle | | Customer Reviews | 3.5 out of 5 stars 48 Reviews | | Format | PAL | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05060018652368 | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Peccadillo Pictures | | Number of discs | 1 | | Runtime | 1 hour and 35 minutes | ## Images ![Uncle David [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PSWPdIKBL.jpg) ![Uncle David [DVD] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91FEa2Ys9QL.jpg) ![Uncle David [DVD] - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-vhmDjYPL.jpg) ![Uncle David [DVD] - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Kx2-OGOuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not what you might be expecting *by J***S on 6 October 2012* This film is wierd, there's no denying that, and is unlike any film I have ever seen.

The motive of their time together soon becomes apparent. This has to be the worst film I have ever seen, and I don't say this lightly. It is a truly skin crawling experience. I am fairly open minded with the incest storyline as any form of sex between two consenting adults is fine by me, though I am not at all convinced that a young, good looking lad can fancy, let alone fall for someone who is about as sexually appealing as a greasy lizard. The suicide plot is offensive and truly disturbing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/54641281-uncle-david-dvd](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/54641281-uncle-david-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-25*
