Four young offenders and their workers spend a weekend in the remote Yorkshire village of Mortlake, which prides on keeping itself to itself. A minor incident with locals rapidly escalates into a blood-soaked, deliriously warped nightmare.

Excellent but underrated film
A Masterpiece!
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
I watched this film based on the trailer and perhaps the trailer ruined it for me. Most of the kills are shown in the trailer so there weren't much new to see in the film. The kills are few and far spaced out in between each other with the longest dry spot happens soon after the first two murdered victims. Because of this, the film doesn't build any kind of momentum and the dialog feels monotonous, the whole film was very sluggish for me. The comedy is dim-witted and not very funny. Having said that, the special effects and methods of the kills are very good, gory and creative, but not enough to make up for what seem to be an arduous viewing. If this film came up on cable TV, I would tell a friend to shut off the television and just go for a walk outside.
The word ,,Sucking" just isn't strong enough to describe the amount of badness this movie incorporates... No...this special piece of (f)art did everything to well deserve each and every negative adjective a dictionary is able to puke upon it. But let us not be held back by this. Lets just say the movie power-nuclear- vacumed so very much that i hoped the tears i shed while watching it were actually enough to drown me and every poor bystander of this premature apocalypse. In consideration of this genre, Screaming is usually a sign of a joyful success and a dearly welcomed audience reaction. In this case however it is nothing more than the embodiement of pure pain and eyesore mixed with a big splash of blood in the stool and just a little hint of suicide-thoughts. Oh what the hell..make it a genuine jump from the roof. Not showing any actual examples based on concrete scenes so far, is just my own survival reflex of remembering them. In conclusion I recommend to watch this movie with lights and eyes out.
I knew that this would not be a good film when 2 minutes passed and we already had some cliché, as the GPS stopped working, though cellphones did not. At first characters were a little washed, but I was hoping for them to develop later. That did not occur, with some very minor exceptions, the characters, especially the young ones, were all the same, except for the differences in sex and colour. The woman, who plays the role of the female social worker, did indeed have time to develop a little bit her character,and could get a point more. The rest as the story, is nonsense, an a slayer and torture film, a la Saw, so, if you are into this type of films, you can go and rent it, you will not be disappointed. Otherwise, skip it.
Preface: we watch a horror movie, just the three of us, every Wednesday. We have for years and have rated each as it comes along. Although we stick to supernatural/monster movies with a fervor we occasionally make an exception for something that just sounds too good to pass up.This was definitely worth the risk.Yes there are some things about it that certain subsets of society may choose to find offensive. You really can just suspend your disbelief and take it as the story it was meant to be though.It has a simple premise, almost a trope: people go to remote location with good intentions but find a horrific circumstance they must battle through. The distinguishing feature is that it takes those expectations and twists them ever so slightly. Even if you are looking for them they are either too subtle or too glaringly offensive that you just don't see it coming.It's well written, well acted and humorous where it means to be. That's amazing enough considering the subject matter.It even shocks! That has nothing to do with the gore, of which there is a plenty. The costume and make-up is adequate to good. You can't expect modern Romero effects with this budget but the post production isn't jarring, masked as it is in the surprise.It's grim up't north and no amount of flat caps and ferrets can change that... but this film made it jovial in a very pleasant way. A very pleasant surprise.(Take this review in context, look at the films we have ranked this against)
