A fun horror flick sporting a dark comedy twist. It's not the easiest thing to pull off, but writer/director Crijns has a good handle on both genres and combines them wisely. The horror is limited, the comedy isn't too in-your-face, but combined they make for a very amusing, thrilling film. The family is pretty annoying, so it's easy enough to root for the "bad guy", brilliantly played by Willem de Wolf. There's a coldness to his performance that makes his character really memorable. The pacing is perfect, the horror elements are limited but effective and the film has no excess cruft. A very entertaining bit of genre cinema. Read all
