Favorite Movie Quote: "Follow the blood!"
One certainly has high expectations for a film that beat out Sweeney Todd for Best horror and almost won Best British Film over competition like In Bruges and RocnRolla.
Kelly Reilly (The Spanish Apartment) and Michael Fassbender (Hunger and 300) star in this horror indy that dwells on unruly British teens. They are led by a certified psycho (Jack O'Connell), and it turns out to be a cross between Lord of the Flies and Deliverance.
Childish pranks soon turn progressively worse. Then they really set them off, and things get ugly as hell. One has to wonder how Peter (Fassbender) even gets up after they takes turns carving on him.
Jenny (Reilly) has to find strength for two. It may not be enough as the film gets more horrible. Reilly should have gotten a BAFTA just for the trash bin.
The ending is certainly not what you would expect.
