GoreHound99 – 7/10
“It's not a polished gem, but for a low-budget Brit horror, it's properly nasty. The family's dynamic is genuinely unsettling, and the transition from awkward dinner to outright terror got under my skin. It's messy and mean, but I appreciated its raw intensity.”
ScaredyCat12 – 4/10
“I get what they were going for, but it just felt too slow and the characters were too one-note for me. The lead actress's constant blank face made it hard to connect, and the horror felt more gross-out than actually scary. Not my cup of tea.”
HorrorNerd88 – 6/10
“It reminded me of a stripped-down, British 'Texas Chainsaw' but with more psychological games. The atmosphere is thick and claustrophobic, and the acting from the family is unnervingly real. It loses some steam in the middle, but the ending left me feeling genuinely dirty.”
VintageVamp – 5/10
“I admire its ambition and the way it critiques the sweet-and-sour stereotype of Englishness, but execution-wise, it's a bit clumsy. Some scenes are effective, but others drag. I liked the concept more than the final product.”
