Thinking of going to see this tomorrow evening. Has anyone seen it yet? If so what did you think as I've not seen any reviews for it.

cheeks · 13/03/08 - 23:44

all the reviews I've seen have been positive....

I'll probably see it tomorrow too......

Anything with Ellison in is worth a wank oops I mean watch.

Don't forget, there's an extra scene after the end credits. Nothing special but it does answer one of the (minor) questions in the film.

I enjoyed it, it got better when they got to the cottage and the gory stuff starts:).

the tits are a bonus....:D

Actually the film is worth a look, funny in places I found it a pretty enjoyable hour and a half......:)

Writer-director Paul Andrew Williams’ follow-up to ‘London to Brighton’ is, by his own admission, a film of two halves: the trouble is, neither of them works. - one star (Time Out)

To be fair the other reviews I've seen have given the film three stars and say it's enjoyable.

Unfortunately not...although there are some quite nice shots of them

Thought the first half was pretty boring, picked up a bit when the killing started, but still wasn't that great.

Haha, damn!

Thanks.

sorry didnt see this thread and started one:o:o:o

It's a terrible film - very badly written. And you'd have to be a nutjob to find Ellison attractive. Is going straight to DVD in the USA.

The only worthwhile thing about it is seeing Andy Serkis in a part that isn't Gollum.

Saw this today and enjoyed it far more than I thought I would.

It struck me as a kind of "The Hills have Eyes" meets "Shaun of the Dead" - plenty of Tom & Jerry-like slapstick violence - very entertaining!!

She looks about 40 trying to look 15, swears MORE than a trooper, and - sorry Good People of Liverpool - but her accent makes my ears bleed!

You're welcome to her Mr. Nutjob Sir!

I think my taste in films must have degraded over the years as I quite enjoyed this film. (i even liked Vantage Point - even if it was a bit messy). Didn't like the Ellison character,

glad she bought the farm

but thought Reece Shearsmith was brilliant, but then I love anything he's been in.

i'm off to hang my head in shame....

AngiBear · 17/03/08 - 11:26

I laughed my head off for the entire film. Reece Shearsmith screaming like a girl was funny and some of the gore was brill. I thought it was like Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets Shaun of the Dead. Loved it!

[Deleted User] · 17/03/08 - 11:33

I thought the

Reece Shearsmith in a cupboard full of moths montage was a tad overlong

and gutted

we never got to see Jennifer Ellisons gangster dad. i thought he would show up at the end/

. Also, the

guy in the pictures looked very much like Harry Harper from Casualty. I thought he was going to make an appearance as the daddy.

Doug Bradley had a blink and you'll miss it appearance too. Glad I didn't go to the loo at that point. (Them Cineworld diet cokes are like BUCKETS by the way. my bladder suffered a-plenty throughout the film. that'll learn me.)

[Deleted User] · 17/03/08 - 13:47

oh noooo.. apparently we see who played Jennifer ellisons dad after the end credits... according to thread over at imdb it's

Steven berkoff...dammit!

Just had a look at this on IMDB and think I'll give it a miss. It sounds awful and Jennifer Ellison is as good a reason as any to not bother wasting any time on it :rolleyes::o:p

If you hate Jennifer Ellison then you SHOULD go see it because (major spoiler)

she has a really horrific death, her head gets sliced in two by a shovel.
