When I saw the trailer, me and my brothers thought it was going to be a horror comedy, but not all of it made us laugh. The film started gory, and I remembered that it was directed by Christopher Smith (Creep), so it didn't matter if it was funny or not, to me anyway. This was a great unpredictable horror classic, and I can see how they think it is as witty as Shaun of the Dead. Basically a gang of weapons division workers are on a bus to spend a team-building weekend, and they get lost somewhere in the woods. They decide to walk and find what they assume is the house, with a note left in it. However, this house is not all it's cracked up to be when they discover that there are people watching them, and then eventually, they start killing them one by one. Starring Danny Dyer as Steve, Laura Harris as Maggie, Blackadder's Tim McInnerny as Richard, Die Another Day's Toby Stephens as Harris, Claudie Blakley as Jill, Andy Nyman as Gordon, Babou Ceesay as Billy, David Gilliam as George, Matthew Baker as Noseferatu, Juli Drajkó as Olga and Kaite Johns as Model in net. The two highlights of the film for me are the pie scene, Gordon having an incident with a bear trap and his foot in the fridge, and Richard on the land mine. Good!
