Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

hicksonbottom If you like horror and comedy, this should be right up your street. Very enjoyable movie. I am a horror fan Dating back as far as the late 60s and this movie is in my top ten Shaun of the dead is better. but this just has something special in the location and story line. Remember it is a movie to enjoy you will love it if you are a true horror fan.

Woodyanders Vicious hoodlum David (a marvelously ruthless portrayal by Andy Serkis) and his bumbling wimp brother Peter (ably played to the sniveling hilt by Reece Shearsmith) decide to abduct Tracey (a fabulously feisty performance by Jennifer Ellison), who's the abrasive and foul-mouthed daughter of a powerful mobster. However, things don't go as smoothly as planned.Writer/director Paul Andrew Williams keeps the entertainingly off-center story moving along at a zippy pace, mines lots of laughs from a wickedly funny sense of pitch-black humor, delivers a few dandy and surprising macabre twists, and tops everything off with a handy helping of excessively gruesome gore. Serkis and Shearsmith display a winningly spiky chemistry as a pair of radically contrasting siblings; their spiky rat-tat-tat-tat sarcastic exchanges are an absolute hoot to behold. Steven O'Connell also excels as hopelessly inept bag man Andrew while Doug Bradley has a nice bit as a suspicious villager and Steven Beroff pops up in a cracking cameo at the very end. The sharp cinematography by Christopher Ross makes inspired use of the widescreen format. Laura Rossi's jaunty barnstorming score hits the spirited spot. A good'n'ghoulish blast.

christopher-underwood Bit of a surprise here as despite the suggestions of gore on the DVD box, this began much as expected as a low budget UK film with buffoon like characters botching up a rather ridiculous kidnap attempt. Andy Serkis is great as the lead loon and although many have expressed dislike at Jennifer Ellison's performance as the victim, I thought she was rather good, although I see she has made no more movies. Beginning then as some sort of TV film of a crazy messed up kidnap, this suddenly swerves into a full scale slasher spoof with an amazing amount of very nasty (though still amusing) gory effects. And beneath it all, instead of some polite little London clubland dispute we have a major Texas Chainsaw dimension horror (though just still maintaining some level of humour). Great effort and if the first part went on longer than it might and subsequently the gore section also seemed on the verge of outstaying its welcome, it is clear there is a film maker of some stature at work here and we shall see more. Hard one to pull off, horror and comedy.

FlashCallahan When David and brother Peter kidnap the daughter of gangster, they bring her to the titular place.Peter calls her father and asks for a ransom of one hundred to be taken by her step-brother Andrew.When the bag is delivered, he is followed by two Chinese hit-men hired by the girls father.When the David discovers that the bag contains only paper, he drives to a nearby village to make a phone call to demand the money. When he returns,he finds the girl has reversed the situation and escaped with his brother as hostage......It starts off very promising, in a League of Gentleman sort of way, and up until the big reveal of the killer farmer, works really well as a dark sort of Ealing caper.But then it descends into banality. What should have been a classic B-movie, goes for the gore factor, and ruins the film.The directors first movie was London to Brighton was an amazing movie, and here, he's taken a step back, despite the brilliant cast and the grim setting.an entertaining misfire.
