Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Bored stoner Elfie Hopkins (Jaime Winston) tries to make village life a little more interesting by dabbling in amateur detective work, investigating the lives of other locals with a little help from fellow weed-toker Dylan (Aneurin Barnard). When a sophisticated city family, The Gammons, moves into the house next door, Elfie's investigative nature begins to tell her something isn't quite right with her new neighbours. Digging into their background, she uncovers a horrific secret that puts the lives of her nearest and dearest in mortal danger.It took me a while to warm to Elfie Hopkins: at first I found the central character rather irritating, Jaime Winston's attempts at cool and quirky seeming just a little too calculated to appeal to the cult movie contingent (her lovable slacker routine reminding me a little of Simon Pegg in Shaun of the Dead). But as the story progressed, the film gradually started to grow on me, Winston's appeal winning through, the whimsical nature of the story and creepy antagonists slowly getting under the skin. By the time all becomes clear for the final act, I actually found myself enjoying proceedings. The finalé is a real crowd-pleaser, Elfie tooling up for a revenge-driven gore-fest that really gets the blood pumping.To sum up: the film's offbeat and rather relaxed approach makes it hard to get involved, but perseverance pays off, with a particularly fun finish. A sequel with Elfie investigating even more outlandish situations wouldn't be entirely unwelcome. 6/10, although a repeat viewing might see me bump my rating up to 7.

This low budget movie succeeds as an entertaining horror film. I am giving it a 9 to counter other unreasonably low reviews. Casting was very good hence nice acting all around. While the story, new next door neighbors who have have deep dark and possibly deadly secrets, has been seen many times before that does not diminish the fun of this original re-telling. Elfie and her side-kick, who are about 18 years old, seem a bit beyond their teen years which makes for a more satisfying adult viewing. Characters are developed including Elfie's major baggage and the stoner angle plays well into the story line. The first half of the film's build-up leads to the FUN roller coaster ride of splashy, classic and 'tasteful' blood and gore finale. Clearly Elfie is a 21st century British version of Nancy Drew. Forget the thumbs down reviews, kick back and give Elsie a chance. Here's looking forward to Elfie's next case! Go Elfie Go.

The titular character is a wannabe detective and spends her days with her best friend, smoking marijuana and spying on her very eccentric neighbours.The Gammons move in, and despite their eccentricities, are affable, and Elfie grows to like the man of the house.Soon though, things start happening, and people start to go missing, and Elfie assumes that the Gammons have something to do with this....It's a really strange movie this one, and you really have to be in the right frame of mind to see this, because it doesn't know what it wants to be, Horror, Comedy, Drama, even parody.It's as if The League Of Gentlemen had written an episode of Midsomer Murders and injected an element of the seventies to it......and it works to an extent.The cast are okay, and as usual Winstone is brilliant, she is one of those actresses you could watch anything in, she has a brilliant screen presence.On the whole though, it really is an oddity, very eccentric to begin with, and the final third goes very sinister and leftfield.Not for everyone, but a curioso piece nevertheless..

Just been to a preview screening of this film, and i hate to say this but within 5 minutes into the film you can just sense its crap.89 Min's later and i was proved right but hoping it would get better. Not sure were to start but Ray Winstone token performance was wasted. Accents by British actors were rubbish, you could moan more if it was Americans trying to do accents, but god forbid it was Brits doing it. The acting was wooden most of the time the plot was tired and predictable and i could carry on in this way but i can't be bothered :( Overall do not see this film even drunk it would look rubbish, but as i always say you have to see some turkeys to appreciate good stuff!
