“A British Crime horror movie.nCombining the British crime movie flavour of Snatch u0026amp; Lock stock , The gangster cool of Reservoir Dogs and the Pagan cult horror of the Wicker man.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat Works :nu003culu003eu003cliu003eA great cold open, instantly sets the status quo. Effortlessly introduces the players and the tone of the movie.u003c/liu003eu003cliu003eGreat 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.u003c/liu003eu003cliu003eBuilds 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.u003c/liu003eu003c/ulu003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat doesnu0026#39;t work:nu003culu003eu003cliu003eThe second act falls a bit flat and feels like itu0026#39;s treading water somewhatu003c/liu003eu003cliu003eOveruse of CGI blood squibsu003c/liu003eu003cliu003eSadly the climax is a little weak, and doesnu0026#39;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.u003c/liu003eu003c/ulu003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall a solid and watchable gangster horror hybrid . Well worth your time”
