A Brit Horror flick that has gotten rave reviews recently got me all worked up and I finally managed to get hold of it today. Damn I am so angry.
The premise of a soon to be wed couple spending an idyllic weekend in the country that is shattered by the locals through violence had immense potential regarding morality and a well written, concise take on society's lawlessness. Unfortunately it was reduced to a class war where the working class are foul, uncouth murdering scum and middle class, law-abiding citizens are the last bastions of civility. Such a shame as the direction and tension is very well realised but it came across as a thinly veiled attempt to pigeon hole sections of society that it made me damn angry. No wonder the Daily Mail gave it 5 out of 5. That should have been pointer enough really.
I'm glad I only spent £3 on it. A very big missed opportunity.
