Summary: Excellent British Horror Comedy
Comment: The emphasis is on comedy for the killer did not show until one hour into the movie. The movie starts with two brothers having kidnapped the daughter of a rich man. The plan quickly went south as the two were proven incompetent. To make the matter worst, a killer lurked in the woods. The movie takes a good hour to build the characters into well rounded people. When killer appeared, we empathize with their plights however ridiculous they might be. The kills were simple yet effective. One or two will make the squeamish to cover their eyes.
The Cottage is possibly the best in the 4 or 5 Dimension Extreme titles that I have viewed. Give it a try if horror comedy is your thing. 4.5 Stars

Summary: Awesome horror/comedy film.
Comment: This film starts out as a comedy but turns into a full fledged horror extravaganza. Great realistic effects, good scares, awesome killer and memorible characters. This one has it all. I hope they make a sequel.

Summary: Love it or hate it? HATED IT!
Comment: As the old In Living Color sketch goes, "hated it!". I failed to see most of the humor in this one and just thought it was stupid. I am pretty sure this one was just lost on me. I am not a big UK-released-movie/tv fan, so that might be the most of it. I was bored. This goes into the category of "fell asleep watching it and woke up and it was STILL on". Prior reviews on here that say you'll either love it or hate it were dead on.

Summary: Some folks are just not cut out for a life of crime
Comment: and poor ol' Peter (Reece Shearsmith) is one of them. The guts of the story is a kidnapping gone terribly, terribly wrong. Or very, very funny, depending on which side of the screen you happen to be on. The brothers, David (Andy Serkis) and the reluctant Peter have kidnapped the step-daughter of a rich mafia type. Under normal circumstances you'd think she would be more than a tad upset. Instead she's totally ticked off and not afraid of anything, including her captors. Jennifer Ellison plays the -- I was going to say 'victim', but quite honestly, anyone in her sphere of influence is the victim, not her. While I do recommend this movie, obviously from the 4 stars I gave it, be aware the girl does have a mouth on her, meaning a LOT of foul language. She uses at least one word constantly that I am personally uncomfortable with, but at the same time she's cracking me up.
To start with, the kidnapping is about the only thing they do half-way right. From then on it's a disaster. The brothers, both, are fine actors and get into their characters in such a way they are totally believable. The kidnapee, Tracy, also is a winner. Without giving away the plot, we manage to go from a crime comedy to a...really strange twist in that it turns into a horror movie.
SPOILER ALERT: The only fault I found in the movie was the ending. I really hated it. There were so many directions in which it could have gone, that would have been so much better. Other than that, what a great freakin' movie!

Summary: I really wanted to like this+
Comment: I read the reviews of this movie, and as a big fan of British comedy, I thought I was going to really like it. I added it to my Netflicks list and just gott it last week. All I can say is that I'm really glad I only rented it.
It started out great! David and Peter kind-a reminded me of Del Boy and Rodney from Only Fools and Horses. Then, their kidnap victom came on came on the scene. Long story short, the profanity just got too much, and I simply couldn't finish watching this. I made it to the point where Tracy and Peter found the trapdoor, and that was all I could handle. I really wanted to like this, but its going back to Netflicks tomorrow. If the language doesn't bother you, though, I'm sure you'll enjoy this.

Forced into hiding after their kidnapping plan goes awry, two rival siblings, David (Andy Serkis - The Lord of the Rings trilogy) and Peter (Reece Shearsmith - Shaun of the Dead), find themselves fighting for their sanity while they hole up in a secluded country cottage. Weighed down by a hostage who refuses to stay quiet, or tied down, they are soon held captive by their own victim.
But everyone's problems go from bad to worse when they come face-to-face with their psychotic axe-wielding neighbor - a demented farmer with a dark, nasty secret buried where you'd least expect.
