The bungled kidnapping of a crime boss' daughter (Ellison) by two brothers (Serkis and Shearsmith) who hide in a cottage and run afoul of a serial killer is neither funny nor especially frightening, and it sure isn't art. It's basically a well-constructed B-movie, with scenes of brutality unaccountably played for laughs, seemingly made by someone with the sensibilities of a serial killer.
