Sadly Over-hyped

An action-packed slog

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

CLEARLY MARKED MILD SPOILERThis seems to be one of those movies where you either you get it or you don't. It's uniquely British in that it deals with a British setting, the current Daily Mail readers fear of those pesky hoodies and treats it all with a British sense of humour. The initial set up is creepy before turning into a black comedy in the same vein as Jam and League of Gentlemen. The leads are pleasantly good looking in that vacant, generic 'Skins' way, all the character is provided by Terry Bird (who is fantastic as Dumpy) and Paul McNealy as Auntie.SPOILERS ***There's a scene where he removes his wig and speaks to Isabelle in his real voice and tells her how he discovered the secret of his weed and it is a amazing piece of workSPOILER ENDS ***To sum up, this movie is nowhere as bad as the reviews say, these people are either not Brits or have a very light sense of humour. It is also not a 'drugs are bad' movie. It's a pastiche, parody and mockery of the Daily Mail way of thinking with some random horror thrown in.I was actually surprised by the twist too

Don't know why so many people have given this bad reviews, maybe they like the typical Hollywood schlock.I just found this very refreshing.I'm not really a fan of writing wordy reviews so I won't say too much here but it's definitely worth a watch for the uniqueness of it.There's suspense, gore, intensity and fun. It's not a costly blockbuster so don't expect loads of flashy sets and explosions but because it's low budget the whole look and feel of it is just perfect. Raw.It's low key but in your face and keeps it more 'real' than some glossy movie on the cover of Empire mag. If you like something a little bit different then I say it's worth taking a chance on. A cheeky little number.

This movie has everything necessary to achieve a nice little tale of horror. A fairly original plot line, reasonable acting by everyone, a good setting, nice editing, directing and sound effects. What more could you need right?Unfortunately, it makes the mistake of being utterly predictable almost all the way through. It's really sad when a movie tries very hard, only to fall into the too often used clichés that are the salt and spice of horror films.I won't bother listing these clichés. If you watch the film you'll see them easily enough, and you'll probably agree with me that they sort of pull the originality out of the film. Even that would be forgivable, but the clichés themselves seem to actually DIRECT the flow of the film, leading it to a predictable finish. It's almost as if I could ask myself leading questions every few minutes:"They're doing _____, so that means that later _____ will happen." "The main character won't stop doing _____, so later on _____ will happen." "The whole plot is based on _____, therefore _____ type of ending will occur."etc. Sadly, I was right at least 90% of the time.It's not a waste of time to watch though, all in all it's a reasonable little thriller. Watch it with a friend or two.

A couple of bad actors (sorry, amateur film makers) are making a film about a dodgy estate which seems to be occupied entirely of pot heads and their feral kids. one of the film makers has a secret which she still keeps to herself even when things start going wrong, which was really annoying. and thats about it really. all the characters are just stupid or psychotic. the films attempt to make some sort of social commentary falls flat. the script doesn't seem to know where its going and all it does is get gradually more stupid. i had to fast forward through the 2nd half because i was so damn bored. don't bother. this gives British horror films a really bad name. boring and pointless with no sex, gore or proper violence. a total failure on all counts.
