Synopsis: A young and fresh couple starts a one-week tour of UK with a caravan, but some deaths start to happen everywhere they go...
Review: A good choice for the opening of the Munich Fantasy Filmfest 2012, and another sign of the good health of the British genre cinema. The couple is naive and touching and the story is very well written (note that the two main actors are also the writers). The murders seem like an exageration of the difficulties a young couple can encounter when they go together on holiday for the first time, and learn to know each other more and more. I had some good laughts following this odd couple of natural born killers on the rainy roads of England. Some punchlines are hilarious, like "if the caravan is rocking, don't come a-knocking", or in public toilets "if it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down", but the best ones are better heard than written.
Rating: 8 /10
