Next to being many other things, "K-Shop" first and foremost is an effectively harsh and confronting satire on England, and particularly how its culture and dignity completely deteriorated in the past two decades. It's abundantly clear that the film fiercely denounces the disgusting (but sadly very realistic and not exaggerated) British binge-drinking tragedies that occur every weekend, as well as all the vulgarities and embarrassment linked to them. But the obviously very cynical and embittered writer/director Dan Pringle simultaneously also criticizes many other shameless vices, most notably how disrespectfully English people treat the immigrants and how they stupidly idolize losers that basically didn't accomplish anything except for appearing in the media (like, for example, the winner of the "Big Brother" reality-TV show). But "K-Shop" is certainly also an insane black comedy and a gorier-than- expected horror/thriller, dealing with a variety of interesting themes including cannibalism, vigilante and modern day Sweeney Todd! Especially considering this is Dan Pringle's long- feature film debut, "K-Shop" definitely exceeded my expectations and – although it's about 30-40 minutes too long – I would label it as one of the more successful and recommendable horror movies to emerge from Britain in the last five years.

Salah Sabir is of Turkish descent, but born and raised in England and a successful student at a prominent London university. He has to interrupt his studies to return home to Bournemouth where his father, a devoted and ambitious kebab shop owner, suffers with his health. Before he properly recovers, Salah's father is killed following a banal dispute with a group of drunken party animals. Salah decides to stay a while and temporarily run the shop, but his contempt and oppressed hatred towards these idiotic binge-drinkers quickly escalates. He accidentally kills an aggressive customer in his deep fryer and sees no other option but to process the cadaver into the special kebab meat recipe! The K-shop becomes a huge hit in the late-night life, and since there are always more than enough imbecilic drunkards entering the shop to irritate Salah, he never runs out of meat… Salah runs the shop for 7 great years, but then he gradually gets into trouble as the number of missing person cases is immense and several people in his surrounding grow suspicious. In case it was Dan Pringle's primary objective to make a social statement, then … well … he certainly made his point! I'm neither a binge-drinker nor an Englishman, but I felt a surrogate sense of shame throughout nearly the entire movie. There's a massive amount of (stock-) footage depicting people drinking, fighting, misbehaving, vomiting, urinating and even fornicating in public. It's nasty and marginal, but you know it's the truth and that makes it rather depressing. The film isn't entirely flawless, neither. Two hours is definitely too long for this type of movie and it feels as if Pringle easily could have cut or shrunk several sequences and even entire sub plots. The irrelevant and slowly developing romance between Salah and the charming Sarah shouldn't have been included, for instance, especially since it never really goes anywhere concrete, and also the sub plot with his alert weekend helper Malik is quite redundant. The acting performances are terrific and the soundtrack contains a large number of exhilarating and inciting music.

Salah,a student & refugee, inherits a seaside kebab shop when his father dies during an altercation with some drunken yobs. Subjected to constant verbal (much of it racist) and physical abuse Salah ends up killing a violent customer and disposing of his body in his kebabs. He goes on to repeat this several times over. This could have been a simple kill 'em and eat 'em gore movie, it certainly wouldn't be the first. However K-Shop addresses issues such as racism, violence, alcohol abuse & greed (the ambitious & ruthless local night club owner). The movie uses real footage of drunken people fighting, being sick, exposing themselves, having sex, etc, all in public. Sadly an all too familiar sight in towns & cities across Britain come the weekends. Watching the fictional Salah bloodily butcher his victims may prove too much for some viewers but it's the real anti social behaviour caused by alcohol that is truly shocking.

A horror flick with a message. This is not going to be for everyone but it's the modern version of the Sweeney Todd story except that Sweeney is an immigrant that faces drunk people in his kebab shop he opens with his father. When some drunk are trying to enter the shop and the father got killed Salah (Ziad Abaza) goes berserk. But there's more going on.

Excellent flick, sometimes a bit slow but still delivers on part of story, the score is great and the effects used are stunning. It's not going to satisfy every horror buff but if you can take a horror with a message then this is must see.

I'll keep this quick - AVOID!

Sorry I haven't met the word count yet so with a little waffle we'll head for the main point. This film will satisfy a particular set of viewers and anger those with more to say.

All round, decent. Mostly good writing, good cast and interesting story, the only thing that let's it's down is Ziad Abaza. He is objectively a good actor, he just lacks any emotion to anything he does, it always feels as though he is reading lines. Because of that we are left to feel the emotions of the supporting cast who do a great jobby wobby.

Ps:Is Madonna still sexy?

K-Shop makes some good points about lad (and ladette) culture and racial bigotry but the protagonist is just too moody to sympathise with and the film takes such a long time to say anything. A vague almost romance with a hotel manageress goes nowhere and the drug dealing subplot is underwritten and shoehorned in. Had potential.. never reaches it though. Oh and also features some nasty body dismemberment porn! Not quite sure if this was a slasher horror, a thriller or a social commentary. Might have been all three but wasn't good at any one of them.

Wait what? Also who does the shopping? And what would that even mean? And has this anything to do with Evil Dead? Probably not right? Just me trying to be clever again with a title and riffing off it a bit ... then again ... who knows? Well I should know, but enough of this nonsense (sorry kind of something I'm a master of).

This is a horror movie with a special shop owner. And like with most horror movies, he almost stumbles by accident into something ... horrible. He may not be the most likeable character to begin with, but I would never have thought he'd go and do ... well this sort of thing. Not very nice! Even to people you don't like. So this might not be your taste (no pun intended), but it is quite decently made. A bit more connection to the main character ... a bit more to the "victims" ... there are certain things that could have used a bit of work script wise ... but still if you like horror, you may not even care about that

Is the point of this movie, I guess. Brits are drunk, Turks are boring and psychotic. Boring being the key word. This movie also lasted 2 hours.

K-Shop brought back some memories. I used to have a summer job working in a restaurant in a seaside resort. We had to deal with drunken revellers at weekends, a few would get abusive. Although we did not mince them up and serve them up as the kebab special as they do here.

Salah is a student who helps out in his dad's kebab shop in a seaside town. When his father is killed by some yobs, Salah snaps when he is later confronted by an abuser. To get rid off the body he puts them through a mincer and serves them to obnoxious customers. Pretty soon Salah gets a taste of murder and in his sights is a nightclub owner who peddles drugs into the community.

K-Shop is a dark comic horror film about broken Britain which goes on a binge at the weekends. It aspires to be a modern version of Sweeney Todd but the film is too long and the main character is too subdued. Although conflicted with the crimes he commits, we also sense Salah was already damaged as he and his dad fled a war torn middle eastern country, presumably Iraq.

Very weak and poorly made horror movie. The person who wrote the story clearly hate people who drink alcohol and do party, but sorry they don't all have 35 IQ and the story was zero realistic.

Seem like there are like one or two persons in this movie who have a decent brain, everyone else got the IQ of a crocodile.

Good movie if you're looking to sleep on something.

And I'm a fan of horror movies. But this one is too gory and predictable for my taste. I did find the topic interesting, since it satisfies this type of revenge. Hehe. Abaza is very good in the lead role, and you stay on his side at almost every moment.

The first part of the movie is too slow and they could have made it more exciting and energetic.

The movie is about family and morals, they want to show a British society in a horrible light, the murderer's motives are absurd, sometimes. The antisocial behaviour is just too much!

Quite disturbing and not for all audiences at all. In general this one is not really my cup of tea.

I had no idea what type of film this was before I watched it, but I am now a fan of everyone involved with this picture. I often wonder what it would be like if someone took it upon himself to purge the world of awful people, people who get drunk and belligerent, people who enter stores and cause a disturbance, people who seem to have been raised by wild pigs in the forest and have no semblance of how to behave in a public setting. The guy in this film has the right idea; chop them up, and feed them to the other pigs. This sounds like a great set-up, and I am glad that someone finally took it upon himself to realize this in an incredibly effective film.

This movie was incredibly well-acted, the gore was generous and well done, and the script was interesting without being overtly preachy. Overall, it was the perfect movie anyone could have made based on the premise. The one sour note is the shift in tone towards the end of the film. It is not bad, per se, it just really threw me off, emotionally. I will be keeping a close eye on the creative team behind this movie. They deserve as much praise as the film industry can muster.

Awesome film. Captures the dark side of UK booze culture in a very entertaining way. Love the plot, love the gore, love the characters! The camera work captures the depravity that exists in UK nightlife in a way that is all too real for any of us who have been in a kebab shop past 11pm on a weekend. The creators have not held back on the realism of the most horrid scenes. Weak stomachs beware, there is no holding back! The characters are well thought out. Sadly, we have all met people who fit the bill, the cast does them all great justice. The realness of these horrible people is scarily accurate and really sucks you into the dark side of UK nightlife. Strongly recommend.

This film was a lot smarter than you would think. Not a typical slasher film at all. It carries important messages about drinking culture, moral depravity, and human nature. For a low budget feature, the special effects and make up were incredibly realistic. Very impressive. The mood is very gritty and it feels like it takes you to a dark intoxicated psychotic underworld, which remains with you even after watching the film. The casting is superb and the talent is great. In particular, the lead role is fantastically played - you wouldn't think he was such a newcomer. I would love to see the director and main actor work together again

Well stumbled upon this on Amazon prime and wow what a film, the atmosphere was spot on capturing the seedy UK nightlife and the performance by Ziad abaza was immense, never seen him anything else but he did an amazing job. The plot is simple but effective and keeps you coming back for more at nearly two hours it kept my attention for every second. Great great film.

The makers nailed it. This film depicted the punters in Kebab Shops & the like & street drunk night scenes so accurately. I wouldn't be surprised if they used real footage and not actual extras of the night street scenes.

I thought Ziad Abaza was brilliant who plays Salah the owner of the shop. You can't help but root for his character.

(On a side note, I always think what a nightmare it must be for business owners/staff & Law Enforcement who deal with these people).

Well......this was a superb brilliant well thought out story of a kebab shops son with vigilante tendencies. It was exceptionally done n the plot was amazing. There were scenes of tension n stomach churning suspense.

The acting was outstanding n the characters were believable n likeable.

The ending was absolutely shocking n totally unexpected n a little sad.

I highly recommend this movie especially if you like suspenseful gory drama.

Loved it!

A decent horror film with a good narrative and a compelling message. The production values are good, the acting decent and it has a nice multilayered story arc, that kept me watching all the way to the end. I like the fact that it has realistic characters, who evolve in a relatable way.

Having said that, the ending is also the weak point in this film. It seems a lot of filmmakers today struggle with finding a good ending. This is also the only reason why I gave 9 stars instead of 10.

I definitely recommend this film.

Absolutely a great film full of suspense,Drama,Horror, Great Performance Form (Ziad Abaza) one of the best Film i have seen in a long Time This Film is full of surprise. it will keep you on the edge of your seat it will make you think twice before bite on a kebab. As made me think twice abut next time I Visit a Kebab shop.
