Rating: 3.5/5 -- Broad comedy and splattery horror are a pretty tough combo to pull off, but if anyone can do it ... the British can. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Nice performances from Shearsmith and Serkis, and some outrageous ketchupy grossout, though I have to say The Cottage has nothing like the rigour, originality or power of Williams's debut. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- This is cartoon carnage with a slightly surreal twist - most notably in Peter's encounter with a swarm of moths - but the developing bond between the brothers makes it surprisingly poignant too. All things considered, you'll forgive the shaky parts. Full Review

Rating: C+ -- The Cottage, against the odds, makes a better caper movie than gore flick. Full Review

3 stars out of 5 -- [The film] does confirm Williams as a real filmmaker of flair and genre-jumping ambition.

Rating: 3/4 -- The degree to which the movie is redeemed by its impossible-to-anticipate third act is consequently quite staggering... Full Review

Product Description:

Andy Serkis (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) stars in this gut-busting horror comedy. Two brothers (Serkis and SHAUN OF THE DEAD star Reece Shearsmith) have kidnapped a woman, and they take her to a cottage in the middle of nowhere. But their difficult victim becomes the least of their problems when their new neighbor turns out to be less than friendly.

Description by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment:

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.
