"Taking the 'it's well grim up North' phrasing to a new level, this low budget horror blends wanting to tell a serious tale of humanely real terror spliced with dark humour and exploitation staples.
The story follows two women who work a dull job in a market selling coffees, hoping for that loan so they can open their own specialty cafe. After one loan refusal too many, they agree to a loan from seemingly nice guy, Jeremy.
Thus the tumbling down the rabbit hole of despair begins as the bill keeps going up and the anguish increases. It's the smiling, dead behind the eyes portrayal of Jeremy that makes this film a lot better than initially expected. He exudes filth and unease, and the violence he beings to unleash is horrible and nauseating, taking the film a hairs fraction to needlessly sadistic.
However, the ending in all it's enormously gory overtones is marvelous, a true mash up of 80's video nasty and release from the misery we've had unleashed on our protagonists for the rest of the film"
- 5.5/10
