Cannibals and Carpet Fitters

I'm a yank but spent a lot of time in the UK and in similar venues as this one. Great parody of small business where cliches abound but cliches create laughs. loved the dumb blonde who only answers the phone if she's not filing her nails (can't call for help if dumb blond won't answer) The whole rich people in mansions will pay more (absolutely gorgeous footage of mansion house aerial & other) but we'll do a crappy job anyway lends a back & forth ok so they're all a bit unsympathetic) Shout out to 7 foot Phil Martin for always adding the "looming" factor- no camera tricks needed. Fun scenes in places like the kitchen where you can play the continuity game. Fantastic tunnel fun. I'll leave it at that, and attention paid to "wait why is...oh yeah he padlocked it" games Hilarious scenes of incompetent workers with the main contractor increasingly frustrated. Nice sudden 'what the?' scares without needing to rely on "call it in jump scares" Beautiful tasty Gore. This girl loves me good tool use! I consistently laughed hard. I'm glad that the original reception the 'short film received allowed this full one to blossom albeit at a trim under 90 minutes.

I backed this film on Kickstarter in 2017, and received a signed Blu-Ray about two years ago. But for whatever reason, I never got around to watching it until Halloween weekend when I wanted to watch something new. It was still in my stack of "things to watch." The premise is rather simple: a group of carpet fitters go to do a job in a remote country house (in the UK) and quickly discover the family has designs on having them for dinner, literally. There is a bit of a Shaun of the Dead vibe to this, but mostly in terms of attitude. For a low budget (but not micro-budget) film, the performances are pretty good and the special effects well done; there are a few very nice kills sprinkled throughout. It's nothing amazing, but the action starts early on and the film keeps a quick pace once it gets going. It's generally fun and a good ride.

Not bad at all. I expected something cheap and lame but it is pretty decent, it´s no masterpiece or new cult classic, but it´s pretty entertaining, the performances are just fine and most of the gore/kills are really well done, which rather surprised me since this must have had a rather low budget. The only real negative for me is that I couldn´t always understand what they were saying due to their accent, but that´s more my failing than the movie´s.

Cannibals and Carpet Fitters

I put this film on, as I like some horror and some horror comedy, like The Cottage, so I was not expecting this to be as gruesome as it was but it was done with very black humour. Great performances, you actually feel sorry for the carpet fitters and don't want them to go to this house. It is a good storyline with plenty of twists, I didn't see a few of them coming. Great directing and has some similarities to The Cottage. Unlike a lot of the gore/horror films, this one you will watch more than once as I am sure there will be some bits you miss.

One more thing, I have gone off pies!!!!!!!

Slasher comedy!!?? well how ironic i may sound , youll have a brilliant example in this little british flick. a thin story,buty the acting and the figures are just hillariously well done,and youll get full credit for your money , if....you can live through the stash of slash and blood splattered over all the new lain carpets. there are suspense from beginning to end, the jolts of surprise comes even though you know itll come.. technically its among the best ive seen in the horror genre lately.the special effects are great,editing and filming good,the set design excellent. its also filled with strong rural english language and humour , so if youre able to take the blood its highly recommended.
