    This is a very good comedy horror in the vein of Shaun of the Dead, Severance. Funny, gory in places with a good sense of British humour about it too. If you liked the other films mentioned here this is worth checking out, good to see Andy Serkis in an unusual role and nice to se...( read more)e Jennifer Ellison. Even the DVD animated menus are refreshingly good!

    Very funny movie with a big dose of gore throw in.Mixed up with the 1st part being a comedy cape double acted which leads to the horror slasher part next.Its great to see the british making horror movies again and not just gangster movies also check out "eden lake" another well m...( read more)ade british horror.By the end of the cottage you are left with a very twisted and funning end worth wanting for!

    Very fun British horror/comedy with many nice and messy surprises. I rather expected a horror, but spent the first half laughing at a a kidnapping gone wrong! A fairly unknown cast does well, (great to see Serkis/King-Gollum in the flesh) and the script is sharp and doesn't feel ...( read more)recycled. Highly admirable for it's originality, but sadly it's market is greatly limited by a sceptic audience and a pretty crap title.

    Disappointingly mundane horror-comedy which is horrid but not funny.

    Williams comes off the excellent London to Brighton and takes the only logical step. He makes a slasher comedy. It's a brilliantly made slasher comedy. Not the usual road trip goes bad or just some people being cut up the film starts as a crime caper. Shearsmith and Serkis are ex...( read more)cellent comedy siblings with great chemistry, I can imagine them being the burglars in Home Alone. Steven O'Donnell soon joins in the fun as a bungling idiot whom you simply have to sympathise with, he's so clueless you have to wonder if he knows that kidnapping is bad. Finally there's Ellison who looks and sounds great as a foul mouthed violent little bitch. She's more than enough for her captors to be dealing with. After a humourous encounter with the locals the film spirals into slasher territory and does it rather well. It plays with a few horror conventions, uses gory slapstick to excellent effect and keeps the relationships between the characters fun and fresh. It's no horror classic, sacrificing scares for laughs, but it is a nice twisted tale of brotherly love.

    This film did seem quite poor at first, but when the action kicked off it was a very watcheable slasher with probably the most annoying female character that I've come across in Horror as after watching her for a minute I couldn't wait for her to die. The main killer was also fun...( read more) to watch with some decent gore scenes. All in all a watcheable slasher.

    THE COTTAGE is a great place to live but I certainly wouldn't want to visit because as the villagers warn, strangers don't do very well around there. This film is a perfect example of how to make a horror film: take 1 part droll British humor, add 2 bumbling criminals, blend in 1...( read more) foul mouthed kidnap victim, pour in several gallons of bodily fluids (preferably red), and then hack, slash, rip, rend, slice and dice with everything from knives to rakes, shovels,and pick-axes until you think you've seen all the viscera there is to see--and then add that nice little surprise twist at the end. That's what I call entertainment!
