Director - Paul Andrew Williams
Starring - Jennifer Ellison, Andy Serkis, Reece Shearsmith, Steven O' Donnell

Two inept brothers kidnap the loudmouthed scouse daughter of a gangster and try to ransom her but they choose to hole up in a strange remote village and their neighbour turns out to be a crazy cannibal psychopath. This is played for laughs with anarchic action and loads of gruesome gore. The style and comedy feel somewhat derivative and there´s a definite predictability factor but it flies along at a manic pace and the cast are good. The violence ramps up towards the end as gory deaths come thick and fast in slapstick style. Perfect if you want a bit of mindless entertainment.
