This was a rather good thriller/horror/comedy film. 

The shots of Cornwall were nice, and a few in particular were quite beautiful. Most of the film was build-up, and it was quite well done. The first part of the movie is a mix between creepy and funny, a good mix. The townspeople were absolutely excellent.

There are a few problems with the film. Most of this review will be criticism although I really did enjoy the movie. I feel like criticism can be valuable and I'll give mine for whatever it's worth.

At times the camera was "too indie" in what the cameraman decided to frame. Sometimes it worked well, other times it struck me as trying too hard. There is a technique used in the film where the camera cuts to a shot of something in the room where the characters are for a moment, and then back to the characters. This, I liked a lot. Other times it was too much.

A second problem was the music. I liked the music, but there was too much of it. The intro has a song, the opening credits have a song, and there are several more songs throughout the movie. Again, I liked the music, but it seemed like too much to me.

Finally, the ending was a little problematic. I couldn't see much. At the same time, I understand why it was filmed that way. So a minor complaint, I suppose.

If I had to draw a comparison, it would be to Trigger Man, a Ti West film. There are many differences, and this film is more polished, but both films build suspense well and are worth seeing for fans of lower budget thriller/horror.

Long review, sorry. Good movie. Go see it.
