Entertaining, nothing to write home about though

This was an entertaining movie, there's definitely worse ways to spend your afternoon. The film obviously wasn't very expensively made, but with a concept as ridiculous as this, there was no need for it to be more expensive. But what elevates this film from a low-budget average film is the funny performance from the always funny Nick Frost, and the great atmosphere in the film. It was actually really tense at times, I'd never have guessed the atmosphere would be that good. The film knew what kind of film it was right from the start, so if you're 15 minutes in and already feeling like you're wasting your time, there's no need to watch it 'til the end, because the film won't go in a different direction. Definitely worth the watch, but nothing to write home about.

Moose finds this film worthy of an 8.
