Plot – Spoilers:
If you’re a cleaner working the late-shift at Heathrow airport, you’d think your night has hit its peak should you find one of the toilets plastered with shit. A Polish immigrant Lena who’s working her way through college and hopefully a better life is therefore pleasantly relieved when a friendly coworker Birdie offers to clean up the crap she just encountered.
The two get chatty and Lena later meets Birdie’s brother who’s quiet and attractive in a damaged and silent, maybe dumb way. When Lena misses the last bus home, mostly through Birdie’s fault, she reluctantly takes up Birdie’s offer to stay over at her place. And meet Birdie’s Mum and Dad who apparently have been so caring, Birdie never bothered with an education or felt the need to move out. For Lena, who’s estranged from her family, this seems a warm idea.
BRILLIANT! Sadistic horror films don’t come much better than this! Some fail because they do not have a satisfactory ending, but not this one – you could feel her satisfaction as she dealt out her revenge! Superb!
Awful rotten fucking shithole of a country…
Brilliant
Unfortunately whenever I see Perry Benson in anything I flashback to him shitting in a bag because of his home-made butter. Does not matter how ficious he gets that image soothes all wounds.
A worthwhile watch if not a bit predicatable and my only wish would be the northern lass got more damage because out of all of them she is the one I would want to take a slow labourious hammer to the most.
What a FUCKIN BRILLLLIANT movie,
I love this movie for so many reasons. But am I really the only one that see’s a British Peter Griffin in Dad? “It seems today, that all ya see..”
the was pretty good ! got kept getting better throughtout the movie at first i wasnt feeling the acting but everything really started to work together towars the end. overall enjoyed it thnx for the upload 🙂
That was pretty wholesome. Thanks EUM for the quality entertainment.
Not yet see anything Perry Benson is in that isn’t entertaining.
Typical English family, more of a documentary than a piece of fiction.
Bloody good.
Top British drama horror comedy
Well acted. Well observed.
Killings and gore on point.
Really good story and funny too especially of your English. . Which I am . . Watched it three times better each time. . .
Have to admit even though I love British cinema ( I’ m biased;) I got about half way through this and had to stop ,made me feel very claustrophobic indeed.Reminiscent of what those poor kids who belonged to those murderous paedophile monsters Free & Rose West just have endured ?
this sites amazin!
fuck this was actually a real good tense movie, once i got past the ’emerdale farm’ feel of it in the beginning….this site has become my new addiction since i stumbelled across it…tyvm to those responsible for sharing all these eum’s for free …love your work and generosity.
Slow paced and kinda boring even with the 80 minute runtime. Ending is good tho, I’ve never seen anybody getting knocked out with a clothing iron
No bollocks, this is a solid little thriller. The brits can do it as well as the yanks and they have that accent that makes you lol. Eden Lake was another good example of British cinema. I rate it 4 out of 5.
I found this movie disappointing, probably some– but not only– because of the comments I’ve read here before watching. What characterizes many movies of the genre is that they are “strange”, but sometimes the “strangeness” makes it too manneristic and unconvincing, therefore untouching, and this is the case with this movie, at least for me. Not that it’s bad, but it isn’t that good either. The plot, characters, atmosphere, ending– certainly the bloody violence and gore– are the cliches we have seen in so many other movies before, specially those who know this site. So what’s a special reason to watch this one? Well, if you like it British– and I suppose many do– you are likely to enjoy it; it is very British indeed. Besides– sowwy, noh may ka’ o’ti.
Interesting! I haven’t heard of this one, but it was great and the ending was very satisfying
Omg I just seen this movie on here and that is wicked cool!!! I seen this movie about 4 years ago with my brother and few of our friends and I loved it. The father is a complete nut job lol. I definitely recommend this movie to anyone who likes movies about fucked up families
Loved this – didn’t expect too much and was pleasantly surprised
The Cottage is another brilliant british black comedy horror. Hysterical and very gory!
this movie reminded me of the serial killers Fred and Rose West, and the movie is pretty neat as well
Olga Fedori was really good. Decent movie for this genre. Didn’t think it was nearly as good as some of the internet hype I’ve seen though. Still was very happy to find it here. Great site!
Liked it – not too gory mind but all good fun. Have to say this site is amazing!
There’s no subtitle on it fam ::::: [
3.5 STARS:
For me, the scariest parts of Texas Chainsaw Massacre (and similar films like House of 10000 Corpses) are the scenes in which the killers perform familiar family rituals: The dinners, the cooking, the family heirlooms etc. This film, takes those scenes and builds an entire torture/captivity narrative around it. While the pacing feels a little choppy towards the climax, over all, It really works. Every performance in this film is excellent. The cinematography is a little dated by the early 2000’s video cameras but there are some artful, even iconic shots here and the gritty, home-movie, aesthetic almost serves to ground this extremely horrible story in some kind of disgusting reality.
Pair this film with (the marginally inferior) Red Room, also available on this site.

Great movie. but no matter how intense it gets I still can’t get over how much “Dad” looks like a British Peter Griffin!
Each time you post one of my requests / suggestions I feel like I’ve helped make the world a brighter place in collaboration with the good you guys already do.
Underrated grimy movie which you really need to be ‘in the mood’ for. Up there with ‘Eden Lake’ in terms of brutal British horror
One of my faves!
ahhhh this one hit the spot. just what I needed right now
Love you team EFFED UP. Amazing free site.
Saw the shoutout to this page from Horrible Reviews, what’s up gangsters!

Thanks for the new movie admins! Never heard of it actually.
Not bad for a british movie, I honestly found it pretty amusing, ya bloody tosser
