COUNTRY COTTAGE (2013)
A horror comedy directed by
Peter Wellington. Written by Jeremy Boxen. Stars:
Malin Akerman (Watchmen), Tyler Labine (Tucker and Dale vs Evil), Dan Petronijevic, Lucy Punch.
What's the story? A couple go up to a family cabin where the man plans on proposing (Akerman and Labine). However once they are there, his brother shows up with his slutty girlfriend and begin annoying them until, by accident, the brother kills his brother. Then they have to cover it up by killing his girlfriend. Except the dead brother had already invited a bunch of friends over, and then the police show up...and the guy and his grilfriend have to try harder and harder to cover up the killing.
Was it good?
No. It wasn't horrible. But almost all of this was stuff that has been done before, again and again. There's nothing really new here. Labine's other horror/comedy TUCKER AND DALE VS EVIL was a wonderful refreshing and wacky mix of horror and comedy. This is been there-done that. You could do worse, but unless you are a die hard Labine or Akerman fan, you could do a lot better.
See instead: TUCKER AND DALE VS EVIL, EVIL DEAD 2, HOUSE, RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD.
