Really REALLY? Are you insane? I am a big fan of Aisling Bea, and indeed the chap in this film with her. She is smart, funny and intelligent… excepting her interviews of course where she, like most comedians… always tries that bit too hard… A small fault for a really multi-talented person. I was looking forward to this film. It’s possibly the worst thing I have ever seen… and I have seen many films. What was she thinking!!!? First off there is literally no point to any of it.. I mean none. The single point where there could have been ( ie her explanation as to who her ancestor was… vanished). There literally is not one funny scene in the entire thing… not enough to raise a smile...let alone a chuckle! The whole farce (no!! it is not even a farce!!) pivots on two things. The first is the notion that the viewer is tricked into thinking the victims will be the perpetrators and that the perps will be the victims. Obvious from scene one and a theme so overused by ‘talented writers’ … it is now almost a genre in itself… a cliché even. And then it’s ‘piece of resistance’… knives… knives and more knives….the completely pointless promoting of zombie knives, swords, bowie knives, pen knives, hatchets, flick knives, cut throat razors etc… In fact, the only place you will see such knives all together is on an illegal website or a police amnesty bin on a busy day in Brixton! The young ‘family’ proceed to decorate themselves with various stabby weapons and attack every innocent in the film.. with no exhalation rhyme or reason, but extreme gratification and delight at the fun of sticking knives in defenseless villagers. I am not sure if any were black 15 year olds… Is Ms Bea completely unaware of the issue with knife crime in the UK? Did the ‘writer’ consider the effect such a film would have on impressionable young people and of course the parents of the dozens of young victims of knife crime in the UK? I would say that this film should be banned because one thing for sure… It will encourage some to see the glorification of knives as an encouragement and endorsement for their improper use. I am completely OK with incidental or even primary inclusion of knife crime in a film but not this carelessness with the topic, carelessness which equates to recklessness in my respectful opinion and which probably also could be seen as encouragement. Go on Ms Bea… say something funny.
