The Cottage (2008)

After a mixed reception by the critics, I was intrigued to see how director Paul Andrew Williams (London to Brighton (2006)) fared with this, his sophomore effort. Pitched as 'comedy/horror', this will never really belong alongside the brilliance of Shaun of the Dead, but still has it's own charm. A very shouty Andy Serkis plays the frustrated con, and Jennifer Ellison's character has a mouth like a truck driver. Destined for averageness, but not too forgettable.
