Review

"A blackly comical twist on the torture porn genre, this lean, mean British horror is just gonzo enough to overcome the limits of the formula and keep us entertained. And it's a truly vicious satire of family life... Filmmaker Shiel is pretty daring to take on heavy shades of the Fred and Rosemary West story here, mixing a biting pastiche of family movies with extreme gore. Cleverly shot and edited, the film continually shifts from bright and perky to dark and terrifying within moments, and constantly undercuts the horror with grim humour. It's a bold mix, and credit should go to Shiel and his cast for making it work as well as it does." - Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall
