Cannibals and Carpet Fitters (2017)

A boring Job with an unexpected turn.

[7/10 · 10 February 2021]

I stumbled upon this movie while looking through a random list of b-movie horror movies and just had to give it a watch based off of the title alone. It honestly turned out to be great fun and I would definitely recommend others to see it. The title pretty much gives you the whole plot and more or less everything you wanted to know about the film, but when I started the film I had a completely different idea and was wondering if it might have been mislabeled or that I didn't understand what carpet fitting had to do with some random campers. But it relatively quickly jumped into what it is at it's core, a British horror comedy, after a pretty good jumpscare to end the beginning sequence. It does have some admittedly dumb humor throughout, but I felt it juxtaposed well with some enjoyable action scenes that were pretty well done considering it wasn't some movie with A-list actors or big budget. There were a couple plot hole questions that I had in the end, but they weren't that important as this film is more of a turn your brain off and just enjoy type of movie. While I was a bit sad with how the ending played out, I thought it was an interesting, and a bit funny, addition to the story that I was a bit confused at with how the genetics worked. I thought the plot, acting, stunts, and effects were all done well. Though the audio seemed mixed a bit weirdly, where the actors spoke somewhat quieter than any other sound in the scenes. This is definitely a great movie for anyone who likes horror comedies or any B-movie horror and slasher flicks.
