This British horror film, touted as a dark comedy, is unfortunately not very funny. It ain’t all that scary, either. There are a few amusing moments here and there (particularly at the beginning), and some impressive death scenes, but there’s little more to separate this from the countless other mutant-backwoods-psycho movies out there.

Andy Serkis and Reese Shearsmith are two bumbling, bickering brothers who botch up the kidnaping of a wealthy strip-club owner’s daughter. They hide out at a remote cabin in the woods with the girl’s step-brother (who’s in on the job), while the club owners thugs hunt them down. That’s pretty-much the plot of the thing, and there aren’t too many surprises to be found. The performances are decent (though Serkis is a bit miscast), and the first thirty minutes, featuring the interaction between the leads as things go from bad to worse, are arguably the funniest. Ironically, once the tone switches from botched caper to full-blooded horror, the movie promptly falls apart. Characters are introduced strictly as monster fodder, dying one-by-one until the movie ends with an abrupt and stupid climax. While it doesn’t really work as a horror movie, some of the death scenes are impressive, especially when one character meets her end by via shovel decapitation.
