I've never seen such a bad movie in my life. Nothing makes sense. The characters are so annoying and just not likeable and the scripts are literally awful. I've wasted to much time with watching that movie.

The writers thought no-one would notice if they mixed and matched a few different films together. I highly recommend this film for a skip, or an example of "what not to do" for film students. A Abit of Let's Kill Ward's Wife, opening credits from True Blood, then into American Werewolf in London, set in Shrooms, with Cabin in the Woods as a ghost story. Throw in a handful of whatever monsters they could borrow costumes for, and end with a cross between...spoilers sweetie, and a little Dragonslayer, or Krull. NOT a good combination, but a fun game of Spot the Plagiarism. I'll clear up some of the nonsense claims made by other reviewers. Everyone hates Americans, not just here but the whole world. Because they do things like make snide remarks about driving on the wrong side of the road. We do have isolated cabins in the woods, they're just expensive holiday rentals, not the American log hunting cabins like the one in the film (because we have farming to get our food instead of chasing it round the woods like Neanderthals). Pubs have no reason to particularly welcoming to Americans because, as mentioned above, everyone hates them.....and they are the lightest of light-weights so there's no point welcoming people who will manage a half a shandy each and annoy the other customers. And there are lots of small town and village pubs with only a handful of regulars who are a little suspicious of stangers. Also, the characters in the film weren't customers, they walked in and asked for a "bathroom", no landlady would take kindly to that. The cider was over the line though. This absolute load of tosh appears to be written and, embarrassing, performed by Brits, since I recognise Alex as "Wesley Presley, from that London" from Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps and the director and co-writer Bob Pipe appears to be english. But it's very clear, from a couple of very telling comments like "the further you get from London, the weirder these pricks are" that the writers are also from that London. It takes a very specific point of view to label the Cornish as a backward cult of lunatics in this century. At least I'm pretty sure that's where they're supposed to be, it seemed Cornish was the accent they were aiming for, the Jolly Hangman is a real pub in Cornwall and they are somewhere south of London. It is also abundantly clear that this film was written by two separate writers, who may possibly have discussed the character names but that's as far as the collaboration went. They were each writing their own film then just crammed it all together and hoped for the best. The different ideas clash constantly, sometimes it's a supernatural thriller, sometimes a low budget slasher, but always a poor attempt at imitating better films.

Quite possibly one of the worst films I've ever seen, hammy British accents, no character development or investment, dreadful acting, this is a high school project trying to be something meaningful and the result is just awful.

Movie full of topics. The cabin in the lake, the weird isolated pub with odd customers/owners, group of friends getting to the cabin for a bachelor party. This 9 group of friends get there to celebrate a bachelor party (Charlie's, the bachelor). In their way there, they met the weird people of the pub, an odd 'hatman' and Ian, who monitors the cabin. To not make this very long, after some ominous music and scenes, it seems Charlie has a twin brother, who is in aiming to sacrifice 9 people to the Old Ones, by pushing them into a hole (kinda port with some reminiscence to Dr Who, very psychedelic). You have to watch the whole movie, as the plot is only coming at the end: The group is being pushing to the hole by Charlie (the bachelor) , his twin and Ian (the cabin monitor). However Charlie is in love with one of the girls so he try to save her, until Ian tell him that if he saves her then he needs to throw himself into the hole. While screaming 'ladies first) he push the girl but then it seems to be Ian. (yeah, confusing part). Anyway. Everybody but the girl is in the hole. The hatman appears and warns the girl they've to close the port, otherwise the Old Ones will surge from the hole and kill everyone. And that's the end. Girl there and the hatman also there. Honestly, if you have the chance to read this, the movie is not worth it. Really.

Right off the bats I felt like I was back in the 00's when some friends would band together to do a super low budget movie for family and friends, this one have been one of the very best or become a cult in that category. I knew I had to watch till the end when I saw the guy in the blue tracksuit waving and the Pub scene. Gotta admit I was surprised this was added to Netflix but I've been noticing some abnormal amateurish/low budget movies being added. Maybe to support smaller film productions? Well, if you just want to relax, smoke something and have some laughs go for it. In the terror department I will have to say it's far from it.

I'm not sure if this film was meant to be serious. They act so badly that you might think they did it on purpose. It's so bad I kept watching. God it's so bad.

So I sometimes (more often than not) am being too soft and I reckon cut certain movies a bit too much slack. I imagine some may think this is the case here too and I won't argue anyone saying just that. If you have seen as many movies as I have you may understand that there are other movies out there, that are far worse. Also if you take into account the budget this probably had ... or the money it didn't have ... it is quite decent in its overall effort. Acting is ok too - yes no Oscar worthy performances, but I've seen far worse too. Cinematography for such a low budget movie is ok too. Again always be aware what you are watching and what they had at their disposal to work with ... otherwise don't even bother watching ... because yes predictable and yes a bit too long. And CGI won't really help the case either - no pun intended.

Just awful. Not aur how we lasted 40 mins. Almost hilariously awful, but then that might have made it worth watching. It wasn't. The acting was so cringe worthy, it was painful. The characters were the most mundane clichéd set of people going that clearly no imagination was used. Script was dire. It's not even B movie worthy. More like Z. Could be used as a tool in interrogation it is so painful to watch.
