A darkly comedic and increasingly chaotic hostage situation unfolds when two inept brothers attempt to ransom the unexpectedly resilient daughter of a local crime boss in a secluded rural cottage. What begins as a misguided scheme spirals into a gruesome game of cat and mouse with a disturbingly cheerful, yet monstrous farmer, forcing all involved to confront their own capacity for violence and survival. The film delights in subverting horror tropes through slapstick gore and surprisingly witty banter amidst escalating brutality, crafting a uniquely unsettling atmosphere of escalating panic and absurd misfortune, laced with moments of shockingly dark humor. It’s a surprisingly self-aware deconstruction of the home invasion subgenre, prioritizing escalating mayhem over genuine suspense.
