Good: I’ve been jaded by a lot of the horror gore fests I’ve seen. There have only been a few cases where a movie has made me cringe, like Hostel (her eye!!!!). But this movie has been added to my list. But it is in no way another mindless torture porn flick. Its funny, real funny.
Most of the funny is done by Danny Dyer, right off the bat of the movie he’s eating ‘shrooms, so you know its going to be good when he starts tripping. The great moments of humor between the really fucked up shit that happens to the people really make the horror parts that much more fun. They even do a good job of mixing them with the little false scares. They have all the build ups like normal thrillers, then something funny happens and it really screws with your anticipation. So when something bad does happen, it’s a lot less expected.
The British seem to understand how to make a horror/thriller comedy a lot better then Americans do.
Bad: It has the regular stereotypes. But really, what movie doesn’t? Especially thriller/horror flicks. The story seems really forced, you never really get who the bad guys are. It does explain it, but it seems a lot more of them forcing this motive down your throat, and it’s pretty contrived. But movies like this don’t need a great story to be fun. All you need to know is these innocent people are being hunted for something they didn’t do.

Great movie. I watched this movie based on your word and I it is great. A mite disturbing in places, and I almost buried my head in a pillow several times....but it was worth it for all the funny parts :)
