Things are bound to get worse, however, when they discover that people have been squatting in their home... Recently.
Upon checking out their only neighbouring cottage and finding it suspiciously empty, Cory becomes concerned. But soon, a shocking turn changes the family's lives forever when they discover that they have become the latest hunted prey of an insane family of teddybear mask-wearing killers, hellbent on torture.
A fast and well executed affair with a surprisingly low budget and a good amount of gore, violence and actual characters.
Katharine Isabelle is a favourite of mine and she portrays a fantastically believable female character who is both terrified but capable and doesn't spend the whole flick either screaming or inexplicably kicking ass as if she's Buffy Summers.
Dunne creates a good father character, humanised by his desire to both welcome his new wife into his home and desperate for his son to accept her.
The kid is fantastic. He's a little shit, but he's got good reason.
On the whole the action is great. I wasn't too excited about the reasoning behind the masked 'father's' obsession with tormenting people and building his own little death family, but watching the aftermath was fun.
A film that does what it sets out to do without getting too precious about it.
A definite highlight at Glasgow Film4 Fright Fest!
