What a bunch of chavs.

The horrible characters ruined any kind of potential that existed in this film. All it is is almost an hour of three chavs saying "bruv", "innit" and either arguing or being annoying twats.

Gemma? My god, that chav princess thing was the worst! Her voice, her mannerisms, the look, the chavvy looped earrings...sterilization was invented for THAT!

The sad thing is that the film DID have potential. The masks and cult were insanely creepy and there is some tense stuff in the last 10 mins. It's just a shame that we have to listen to three IDIOTS for almost an hour walking around and doing nothing.

Why'd they even arrive at the farm in the MORNING?! Why did they keep making so much NOISE?! Who buys OLD PEOPLE porn?! Why did they try to make a film "found-footage" when they added establishing shots?!

Ugh...this film was bad.

If the apocalypse comes, beep me.

I have to agree.
Within 5 minutes I didn't care if the main characters would die or not, within 10 minutes I was hoping they did, after 15 minutes I stopped caring about the entire movie.
I hated the 3 main characters so much.
At least get 1 normal person along, someone to like or at least not hate.
I stopped watching the movie after 20 minutes simply because I could no longer watch these horrendous people.

That was painful to watch and I don't mean the gore. The characters were so obnoxious that I was relieved when they were finally taken out. I didn't care at all for any of the characters, I wasn't sure if they were trying to make it funny like Shaun of the Dead. Story had potential, characters took away any horror or suspense.
