      Shaminder D The Cottage is an excellent mix of comedy and gore! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/11/23 Full Review Jerod S You'll find some siblings that botched a kidnapping in the cottage. You'll find a mouthy spice girl. You'll find a couple of asians. And you'll find a guy with a mutilated face that lives under the floor. And it all adds up to annoying. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/03/23 Full Review isla s This is a very dark comedy horror film. It features some jump scares and some scenes reminded me of other horror film like The Shining and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. There is a comedic, farcical nature to it as well, infact it reminded me a little of the Inside No9 episode 'A Quiet Night In', with the bungling, arguing burgulars. Its not exactly a constantly laugh out loud film, unsurprisingly and you could argue its slightly cliched in terms of the horror aspects perhaps but it does have a darkly comic side to it and I thought it was a somewhat suspenseful watch. If you like jump scares and trying to guess what might happen next, then this is worth a watch, yes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review justin t It looked good. Nice use of camera movement. I didn't like the look of the monster. I thought that it looked a bit fake and unoriginal. The sound was good. The music, dialogue and effects were all good. One of the guy's voices had too much bass in it for my taste. It was a funny story and not that complex. It was well acted and entertaining. It wasn't too long and that's a good thing. It made me laugh and it made me jump. It didn't feel that original or memorable though. A funny and silly movie with some gore. The monster was a bit disappointing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A hugely underrated comedy-horror! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review steve d It does absolutely nothing right as ether a horror film or a dark comedy.

      Variety Staff Variety lively if programmatic horror pic Mar 17, 2008 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Nice performances from Shearsmith and Serkis, and some outrageous ketchupy grossout, though I have to say The Cottage has nothing like the rigour, originality or power of Williams's debut. Rated: 3/5 Mar 14, 2008 Full Review James Christopher Times (UK) This film is fabulously deranged. Rated: 3/5 Mar 14, 2008 Full Review Ali Gray TheShiznit.co.uk The Cottage is a film that knows how to play to its strengths, namely making the most of its modest budget and not even attempting to break the B-movie glass ceiling. Rated: 4/5 Oct 14, 2012 Full Review Lucius Gore ESplatter 'The Cottage' doesn't have enough horror to satisfy horror fans and not enough comedy to satisfy everybody else. Rated: 1.5/4 Jun 17, 2008 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews The degree to which the movie is redeemed by its impossible-to-anticipate third act is consequently quite staggering...
