+1 star for Amber Rose Revah because she is just absolutely stunning

The film wasn't bad, a bit far fetched with a few plot holes but still.decent enough to sit back and enjoy. Wasnt awful. I thought the acting was very Good tbh, I've met people like the boss and his nephew (who I hated) because there is real people like them.

Solid 5/10 for me

It's hard to say anything about this film really, it just wasn't that good, but it wasn't THAT bad either.

I went into it with relatively high hopes given the decent cast, and their performances were what kept my interest.

The story meanders, as it tries desperately to flesh out the backstory of all those involved without actually going far enough to make the viewer care about any of them.

An ex army descendant of a wealthy dynasty trying to get his inheritance, a struggling business owner, a murderer on the run, an illegal immigrant trying to make some cash to send home for his daughter, an old bloke and a work-shy little yob; that's your cast and that's about as much as we really find out about them.

There is also a love interest and a dodgy accountant, but despite being relatively important characters we find even less out about them than the rest.

Scenes vary from paint drying to graphic violence, but the one vein that runs through them all is the nonsensical decisions that continue to be made.

Any scrap of an interesting sub-plot gets hastily cast by the wayside in favour of the ham-fisted main story, thrown in to pad things out as much as anything else.

Plot holes are in abundance too, but in all honesty that's the least of the films problems.

I've seen a lot of comments claiming they did an amazing job given the budget, but I fail to see what these reviewers thought cash had been spent on.

Barring one particularly gruesome effect with a drill, the rest could have been achieved with a few hundred quid down at a hardware store, a dozen bottles of vampire blood from the Poundland and some facial prosthetics that wouldn't have looked out of place in a Hammer Horror from the 70s.

The actors gave it their all and for that they should be commended, there are a couple of laughs to he had, but there isn't much else here to enjoy.

Well written and acted, good characterisation and unusual plot with a few twists and turns to keep it interesting. Some flaws but overall not bad and worth a look if you want something different for a change rather than remakes, rip-offs or repeated formulae.

Saw this film at an early screening. Very strong performances all around, orchestrated by first time director Will Jewel. The film is a tense, slow burn thriller with very current political themes. The understated cinematography really stands out too. The only downside for me was the pacing was maybe a bit off at times. Overall great film though; more of a thriller with social themes than a horror like the poster and the frightfest association would make you believe.

I read the 1 star reviews and they are wrong; A 1 star means its the worst film you have ever seen so when a reviewer leaves this for a movie like this then you can pretty much disregard them as a proper reviewer along with the usual 9 and 10 star shills as well.

Although the film is not going to win any oscars. it has some excellent acting performances from literally every member of the cast and some particularly harrowing well acted scenes and i was guffawing at one point in the midst of the brutality which is most unusual - some of the lines are pure class "Is he dead? Well he is not doing the Macarena" is my favourite line delivered with aplomb and what can I say but Steve Speirs is just brilliant in anything he stars in.

Goran Bogdan almost steals the show but the whole cast made the movie so much more than its small basic script and it never lost any pacing or interest for me and based on its low budget they did a splendid job so I am giving it a fair above average 6/10.
