Just watched this the other night and I must say I (and the GF) really liked liked. Theres nothing there that you really haven't seen before - an inbred/incestious disfuctional murderouse family ala Chainsaw/House 1000 Corpses/American Gothic. But what makes this a little different is that its British and the family aren't hidden away in Southern Backwoods but live in the suburbs near Heathrow Airport...
The story bares more than a passing resemblance to the Fred West case thats played off as a black comedy. The acting is pretty good epsecially 'Mum' - its pretty nasty and grime too (like the retarded daughter hitching up her skirt when she thinks her parents are entering the room) but has some pretty funny moments like the mid-year Christmas celebration....
No doubt the media will pigeon hole it as 'Torture porn' or what ever new phrase they have to dismiss the horror genre..
