GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Wordiezett So much average
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Paul Magne Haakonsen When I stumbled upon "Cottage Country" I had not heard about the movie, so I didn't know what to expect from it. I took a look at the movie's cover and must say that I was instantly interested in the movie. Then I read the synopsis and saw that Tyler Labine was starring in the movie, so my interest was further peaked. So naturally I decided to give "Cottage Country" a go.The cast in "Cottage Country" was quite good, and they really managed to get together a great ensemble of acting performers, and there was a great chemistry between the various performers. It was really nice to see Tyler Labine again in a comedy much in the same genre as "Tucker & Dale vs Evil". Dan Petronijevic added a great comedy element to the movie with his character. Lucy Punch was really nicely cast for the very odd character Masha. And of course it was also nice to have an actor like Kenneth Welsh show up in the movie."Cottage Country" had a very interesting character gallery to bring the story to life on the screen. And the cast hired to portray the various roles and characters were doing good jobs with their assigned characters. And the brotherly rivalry between Tood and Salinger was just great and resulted in some hilarious scenes.The dialogue in the movie was well-written and very suitable for the characters. And I really liked the Marsha character's dialogue, because she was just so extreme and so out there that it was hard not to be amused constantly.There are some really good laughs to be had from watching "Cottage Country", and if you like comedies with a dark and twisted sense of humor then you will most definitely enjoy and want to watch this movie.The special effects and make-up effects were actually quite good and they served the movie quite well. Now, this isn't a special effects galore like many Hollywood movies ten Writer Jeremy Boxen had managed to put together a very enjoyable story that had some great laughs, some memorable moments, and very likable characters. And director Peter Wellington was doing a great job of telling the story in a great transition from script to screen.This was indeed a very dark and twisted comedy, and it was without a doubt quite well worth taking the time and effort to sit down to watch it, and I am genuinely happy that I did, because I was thoroughly entertained by the movie.
gavin6942 Todd (Labine) wants everything to be just perfect at the family cottage where he plans to propose to Cammie (Akerman). But things go awry with the arrival of Todd's slacker brother Salinger (Petronijevic) and his free-spirited girlfriend Masha (Punch).Tyler Labine in a cottage and someone gets killed? Could this be the sequel to "Tucker and Dale"? Sadly, no. He is cast here as basically the equivalent of a poor man's Canadian Jack Black. A lucky loser, perhaps? Is this romance? Drama? Comedy? Horror? Despite zombie ghosts, it is actually not the latter. Drama maybe, comedy in some parts. And the romance is a stretch.I have no strong feelings about this film one way or the other. A good way to waste time, I suppose, though there are many other films out there that could fill the same time better.
adi_2002 Cammie and Todd are a couple who is trying to find peace and quiet and they go at a cabin in the middle of the woods to have a few days of relaxation. All good until Todd's brother along with his girlfriend Masha arrives at the chalet. They don't realize that are bothering them and after the girls are gone for a little hike Cammie tells Todd to convince his brother to leave them alone. They fight and Todd accidentally kills Salinger and covers his murder. After Masha and Cammie return he tells her what he has just done and Cammie encourages him to get rid of Masha also. They are dumping the part of their bodies after they cut them in the lake and are surprised when they arrive back that a party in the middle of progress is at their house and comprehend that Salinger invite them to come but he wasn't sure if he really made the announcement.Now the two must behave normal and not to give suspicious to the guest and make them believe that they don't know where the missing couple is. Although this should be easy the situation complicates when Todd has some hallucinations with his dead brother and attracts attention with his unusual behavior. One guest specifically becomes involved and want to find out the truth but end up having the same faith as his friends. When police arrives the couple must play innocent and soon Todd's parent are coming to the cottage but for how long will they manage to hide the reality for those around them?I catalog this movie to be a black comedy although there are only a few scenes where you laugh for some seconds and in rest it's a little bit silly but still is a good way to spend you Sunday evening.
trcmiddleton If you know Macbeth, you can have a lot of fun seeing how the basic plot is lifted from that play. The ambitious woman drives her compliant mate to pursue the unthinkable, and having done so, both are haunted by the horror of their deeds. Mix in a little contemporary hilarity for the times, but you can't deny it's the Scottish play. It would have been cool to have read a few reviews that touched on this delightful parallel. It's like seeing 10 Things I Hate about You and finding a classic plot.I had forgotten the name of the movie, and was searching "movies based on Macbeth" to no avail. I know there was the word cottage or cabin, but beyond that, couldn't think of a single actor's name or anything. Thanks IMDb for documenting everything!
