Featured reviews
Solid dependable horror thriller with a very able cast. Special mention to Jacob Alderton as Billy who was effortless. First half was great with terrific direction. photography and a great soundtrack- which helped crank up the tension further.
Second half seemed to run out of ideas. The ending didn't make much sense and seemed a little rushed and I would personally have liked to have felt a bit more depth and empathy with the characters.
On the whole t though a great idea. that's sure to do go down well with horror fans.

Have to agree with some other comments, on here.This first and foremost comes across as a Guy Ritchie gangster movie, and is quite enjoyable. The horror/supernatural elements really don't surface until the last 20 minutes or so, which seems to be a bit of a trend with horror movies these days. Having said that I did enjoy the movie, characters are great, acting too, nice atmospheric scenery. While I didn't foresee the twist ending, in hindsight I probably should have. All in all an enjoyable film, just don't expect a full on horror movie.
This piece never got going. Really not a lot of back story provided. Acting was average at best throughout, with little to no suspense.
Ita a below par film with terrible acting which I had to turn off before the end.
A British Crime horror movie.
Combining the British crime movie flavour of Snatch & Lock stock , The gangster cool of Reservoir Dogs and the Pagan cult horror of the Wicker man.
What Works :
What doesn't work:
Overall a solid and watchable gangster horror hybrid . Well worth your time
What Works :
- A great cold open, instantly sets the status quo. Effortlessly introduces the players and the tone of the movie.
- Great characters. Our protagonists our 2 gangster heavies , but the ooze charm and have great chemistry on screen . The dialogue is great and they actually come across as real people. To male friends in real life would totally break down in hysterics when a friend would get stuck in the mud, or trip down a hill. I was boought in to their characters.
- Builds tension. The first act is more a crime story whilst the third shifts to cultists supernatural horror . The change is tone and building of tension is great and the supernatural threat ramps up.
What doesn't work:
- The second act falls a bit flat and feels like it's treading water somewhat
- Overuse of CGI blood squibs
- Sadly the climax is a little weak, and doesn't make much sense , and thus is a bit of a let down. You can more or less see something like it happening, but thy take it one step further and just left me feeling perplexed.
Overall a solid and watchable gangster horror hybrid . Well worth your time
