Reviews:
“A gut-wrenching chiller… the best British genre film in years.” Jamie Graham, Total Film
“A dark, funny, disturbing picture… With this, Wheatley elevates himself from kill list to A list… he’s among the most promising filmmakers in Britain.” Kim Newman, Empire
“A strong contender for best British film of the year. Film of the Week. It’s hard to remember a British movie as nerve-shreddingly effective since Dead Man’s Shoes in 2004… look for it on ‘Best of British’ lists for a long time to come.” Tom Huddleston, Time Out
