the cottage

this is great mindless comedy action horror. all the guts and gore of (a far more shoddy) texas chainsaw massacre/house of wax type movie, but with great acting and heaps of comedy.
its a british attempt at the american college gorefest but with a very knowing tongue in its cheek, even down to the amusing monster latex.

particular credit to the three members of the cast who start this film: sheersmith, serkis and (never thought i'd say it) ellison, who make the beginning a brilliant kidnap comedy.

7/10
