The Cottage

When the first line of dialogue in a movie is “we’re going to hell” you would have high hopes for a movie and quite frankly “The cottage” delivers in spades. Sometimes literally.

Directed by Paul Andrew Williams (London to Brighton) and starring Andy Serkis (Gollum!), Reece Shearsmith (The League of Gentlemen) and Jennifer Ellison (Brookside). The story of the cottage is that of a kidnap going horribly wrong.

Dave (Serkis) and Peter (Shearsmith) have kidnapped local crime boss's daughter Tracy (Ellison) in what should have been the perfect crime. Obviously it doesn’t go to plan and before long there’s blood on the walls…the floor….the courtyard…the woods. You get the idea.

The Movie itself is wonderfully put together, the gore is over the top, the humour is dark and even the soundtrack is perfect for the mood of the movie. All the performances are top notch with each character interacting and complementing each other brilliantly, making this an excellent British horror comedy.

Go see it.

The Cottage is on general release from the 14th of March

Looks good.

Also, it has Ellison.

[Ghostsuit]

quite fancy this.

[lirazel]

comic timing's really good, incidentally. that shot of the knife in the door that's in the promo material is a classic moment.

Meant to be seeing this tomorrow night.

I thought Reece Shearsmith's acting at the start was very bad, it seemed like he was bored with a line half way through saying it. Slow start to the film but the gore bit is good. Whoever the lighting director was needed replacing, far too much obvious sunlight for a film set entirely at night. Ellison says "cunt" a lot and looks nice, Serkis is probably the best actor of the 3 in this film.

I love anything that Reece does, but without Mark and Steve beside him makes it look strange lol!
I want to see this but im not a big fan of British Movies these days - last British type movie i liked was Dog Soldiers!

[Thetis]

mmm..not sure about this one...why do they always have to make British horror films 'humourous'..I can't remember the last good British Horror film

You were looking at her tits, weren't you?

[System_Star]

I kinda want to see it. But, I have a feeling it will be terrible.

[Sazzarella]

I really need to stop going to see films like this, thought it was dire and reminded me of the humour from Shawn of the Dead/Hot Fuss... which I didnt enjoy either The bf loved it tho, as will prolly everyone else, that just seems to be the way it is with me and films.

Don't forget her cameltoe, it put in an appearance a few times. I liked it's sly winks to camera.

She likes to do that as well.

First hour was rubbish, got pretty good about half way through.

[pANDAS Radio]

Yeah, the first hour plodded along. And if you want a film to look like a kidnap movie and then unexpectedly turn into a "horror" then don't fill all the trailers with the horror element.
