Thieves in the Night

That was fun! It has some hilarious dialogue and great characters. And it's not always politically correct.

Despite being funny, there is a sense of dread throughout the film, because we know that something will happen, at some point. But when and how to situation escalates, we don't. And yes, If just no one would have tried anything stupid, then maybe everyone would have survived.

There are some memorable performances in it. I liked the bad guys and the family members alike.

The twist was a nice turn. Normally I'm not a fan of home invasion films, but I've never seen one this funny and engaging.

I also noticed some details on a second watch. And it changed my perspective on some characters the second time.

Will put this on my yearly Christmas watch list.

A great self-contained thriller!

I am a big fan of dark humour and it was well done and the characters were very relatable, my favourite being Cody played by Tim Hudson.

At turns funny and at others gruesome the producers and actors didn't a great job. At times it felt like you were there too, the tense atmosphere was projected brilliantly - there is also a sense of menace that pervades the film and adds to the tension.

I've not seen anything by the director/actors combo but will be looking out for them going forward - hopefully it's the first of many.

Something to look keep an eye on for the future.

I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I liked the randomness of it all. The villains did not go there to torture them and the father was not working at a bank. They just needed to hide and chose the wrong house. If they would have gone into another house, things might turned out differently.

Cody is my favourite character, because he has the best lines. The actor was good too. I also liked Mia and she was also played very well. The banter between the two is pretty good.

First I was on Ray's side, because he seemed like the only one that was reasonable. On the second watch I saw him a bit differently.

The uncle Ben character also has a nice attitude. When Cody insults him about his ginger hair and wearing a beige cardigan is my personal highlight of the film.

I would give a higher rating, but sometimes you can notice that it is a lower budget film.

Thieves in the Night delivers a solid experience, driven by its palpable tension and strong performances. The film consistently keeps viewers on edge, with suspense that builds gradually and effectively. The atmosphere is charged, making every scene feel intense and engaging. The plot has an interesting twist that keeps you guessing where it will head to next...

A standout is Tim Cullingworth-Hudson, whose portrayal adds a layer of depth to the film. His performance is both nuanced and compelling, grounding the narrative with a believable and human touch. It is a well-crafted thriller that I enjoyed watching.

I didn't have great expectations, as this film seemed like a low-budget and not exactly a mainstream film.

But in the end it was a good and also funny thriller!

The typical English black humor is well done, if you like such humor you can't go wrong with this movie. I don't really like British humor, but here it was actually quite good and as exaggerated as I expected. In the end: unexpectedly shocking but also somehow funny and amusing film.

I'm normally not a fan of such films, I'm generally not a fan of European movies. I love Hollywood blockbusters.

But I stumbled onto this one by chance, and to be honest I was about to turn it off after noticing that it was an British production and not an American one. However, out of boredom, I decided to keep watching.

And I have to admit, it's good. I could actually watch this movie more than ones.

Real good actors, interesting camera work. So big compliments to the makers and crew. Maybe I'll give European productions more often a chance.

One thing I really was funny was the end, without any spoilers 😉 But my favorite character was that guy Cody, played by Tim Hudson. Love the last scene 😁 but I won't say any more than that. Hope to see more from this guy in the future; looks promising.
