Forget Shaun of the Dead, actually it's very easy to, this is the best British horror-comedy ever made! Really it is!

The story is basically about a group of co-workers from a weapons firm going on a team building exercise somewhere in Eastern Europe. When the boss upsets the coach driver they find themselves left to their own devices. They find their supposedly "luxury lodge" where they are going to start doing all the trendy team building nonsense but then sinister events start happening and people start getting killed...

It starts off with the kind of humour you'd get in something like The Office (or one of those trendy Sky One presentations) and then turns into a fully fledged survival horror film... but still with humour here and there. It just works. It really shouldn't work but it does!

The boss figure is played by Percy from Blackadder (Tim McInnerny) who is also a very credible straight actor so he adds a touch of class to the proceedings. The "hero", if you can call him that, is the guy from "Is Harry on the Boat?" (Danny Dyer). I never watched the series or the film but I vaguely know who he is and he always plays the same kind of character. He was suitably funny and laddish throughout and I enjoyed his performance even if I didn't totally like his "stoner" character.

There are some really funny scenes, which I believe American reviewers call "Gross Out Comedy" nowadays. It just shows the thin line between vicious horror and vicious humour is even thinner than you realise. Well, the makers of MASH realised that years ago but this is a British film and it really does everything perfectly. The comedy is funny and the horror is horrific. It's true horror-comedy not a light mix of each.

From the credits I believe the film was made in Hungary and on the Isle of Man. Why not just in one place? I have no idea.

The two Hungarian escorts in the film are suitably gorgeous so there's really nothing for me to complain about in this film at all... except I wish it had been longer.

It was funny, gory, nasty, realistic, and silly all wrapped up together. It's a cross-genre horror-comedy classic. And you can quote me on that one!
