Theres something endearing about this odd film.
Initially the outdoors shots look eerie and as if they are filmed in a studio.
The central couple are not entirely convincing. Its not clear why she would be with such a socially inept and irritating loser. And he is really irritating.
The Irish stereotypes come thick and fast as we are introduced to a strange combination of characters.
Always nice to see Niamh Cusack.
The builder family are just too weird-but-played-straight to take seriously. Theres just no way you would have them in your house, having met them.
There are various other totally unbelievable plot points .
The first time I saw the red caps I laughed out loud. Noone else did (though there were only 4 people in the cinema). I laughed at various other points as it all became more unbelievable.
The red caps are actually quite likeable little chaps that seem to have a sense of humour as they kill or are killed.
The whole thing feels a little 80's straight to video, but thats not a totally bad thing. Its got a quirky likeable quality.
It goes off the rails in the last 20 minutes, leaving one to question what they have just watched at the end.
