Nick Frost's latest venture in comedy horror feels less genuine than previous works, showcasing a heavy self-congratulatory tone, despite an entertaining and gory finale.
Frost and Bea's characters, Richard and Susan Smith, embody a dysfunctional family dynamic, dragging their kids to a bizarre festival where dark history is reenacted.
The film leans heavily into folk horror tropes, with the Smiths painted as hapless outsiders in a chilling celebration of their surroundings' cannibalistic past.
While it attempts to balance comedy and horror, the film's reliance on absurdity leaves it feeling more like an extended sketch rather than a cohesive narrative.
