The Cottage is an English film about a couple of inept kidnapper brothers. As the movie starts, they are discussing whether to leave the kidnapped girl, played by Jennifer Ellison in the truck of the car or bring her inside while they make their ransom demands. They end up moving her inside, as this becomes the start of all kinds of misfortunes for the kidnappers as well as the kidnap victim.
The victim is gagged and bound with her hands behind her back for a good portion of the first ½ hour of the film.

This film is definitely different! The dialog and situations in this one was a crack-up and had me busting up laughing, especially early on. Later in the film it turns slightly as it becomes very gruesome at times…while still having funny moments here and there. For example (while still keeping with my M.O. of not giving away too much plot w/mainstreams), with one of the kidnappers facing impending doom from a local, he hesitates for a moment as he turns to look at the girl (the kidnap victim, escaped) who is yelling at him with a gutter mouth filled with all kind of expletives. The local looks back down at the kidnapper, as the kidnapper shrugs his shoulders as if to say…what can ya do?
Entertainment value: I'd give this one a high B+ The only reason it misses an A grade is because it kinda loses a little of its edge in the last third of the movie. Highly recommended for entertainment value.
Gimp grade: High C+ (No nudity (in Gimp), but fairly long bound sequences)
