The Cottage
“Sleeps Six Bloody Comfortably”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 62, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
An incompetent kidnapping sends two brothers and their captive into the path of a murderous farmer. Andy Serkis and Reece Shearsmith carry the early criminal farce before the countryside supplies a different kind of threat. The abrupt genre turn is central to its appeal and unevenness.
