RESOLVED: The Monster of Mangatiti (2015)

(1) The character played by Flynn Allan is named Brent not Benn. The real person that the character is based upon is named Benn.

(2) The character played by Flynn Steward is named Chett not Jed. The real person that the character is based upon is named Jed.

(3) Heather Walsh is playing herself, her real self, not a character. She appears not only in voiceover as the narrator but on screen in between the reenactments or as an overlay.

The reference number is 170119-121035-260000. If verification is needed, then the data editors can access a copy of the movie on Netflix streaming services. This is the second time I've tried making these corrections, and is looking like once again that they won't go live. Now I understand why Les is perpetually frustrated with this site. Too many poor contributions are blindly accepted whilst too many accurate contributions are ignored. Please fix it.

Jeorj,

I'm still laughing reference..."Now I understand why Les is perpetually frustrated with this site.'

Les (who is quite often a tad-bit frustrated with this site)

In regards to 3, a look here is necessary https://contribute.imdb.com/updates/guide/cast#self

Where someone is billed in the credits as Himself/Herself in a fictional piece and are playing a scripted, fictional version of themselves, we use the performer's name as the character name to avoid moving the credit to the 'Self' category even if the credits say Himself/Herself.

Since you are saying she is actually "playing" herself, then the quote above applies in my opinion, meaning she should be credited as "Heather Walsh".

Since you are saying she is actually "playing" herself, then the quote above applies in my opinion, meaning she should be credited as "Heather Walsh". Wrong! She isn't playing herself, because her presence is documentarian in nature. She is herself.

Well you wrote "Heather Walsh is playing herself" in your OP. "playing" implies that a fictional performance is involved one way or another, but I guess you meant something along the line of "appearing" then. You're right. I stated one thing and then stated the opposite afterward. I created the confusion. My apologies. She isn't playing or acting anything but indeed appearing.
