  • Brilliantly eccentric

    Well-deserved winner of Best New British Feature at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, an impossible-to-describe, weird but brilliant comedy with stand-ups Ed Gaughan and Andrew Buckley as the bizarre leads. They are exorcists of hidden secrets, and things go even more wrong than usual when they get involved with a client...

    Low budget and British so be warned if that's not your thing. For the open minded though this is an intriguing if slightly under-developed oddity - definitely worth a rental. Strong performances, some atmospheric sequences and some good location work.

  • British Eccentricity

    A totally original , and bizarre film. Well acted without seeing the need to use hunky male figures as a selling point. Fabulous Yorkshire landscape and atmospheric music. So far from the generic run of the mill.

    A wonderfully quirky British film, with a skilful mix of comedy and psychological depth. All the better for having unfamiliar faces on screen. Good script, good direction, good acting, good music. What more can I say?

    Best British film I've seen for a long time. Reminded me of Delicatessen in that it's very original, very quirky, exists in it's own charming reality and is nigh on perfect. Or you could describe it as an understated British cousin to films like Being John Malkevitch and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Highly recommended!

  • Do the dishes/ironing/clean car.........far more fun than this

    Rated - 0.5 stars  
    By AlAitken (3 reviews) from Livingston , 08 May 2012
    This is one of the worst films I have ever sat through. It's the kind of film you watch and think it'll improve in a bit......bad news, it doesn't.

    It isn't interesting, it isn't funny. The acting is distinctly average and the storyline is dull.

    I would avoid this at all costs. I'm stunned that it has had positive reviews and that it won an award........AWFUL
