SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Its squabbling British ensemble, remote rural setting and sudden turns from coarse workplace comedy into bloody survival horror closely echo The Cottage’s escalating, anything-can-go-wrong energy.
02
Why this pick
A criminal job unravels into a cramped, increasingly grotesque nightmare, with the same mix of incompetent crooks, sharp black humour and gleefully excessive violence.
03
Why this pick
This deadpan British holiday-from-hell pairs awkward character comedy with abrupt, unsettling violence, preserving The Cottage’s off-kilter tonal shifts and bleakly funny criminal escalation.
04
Why this pick
Two small-time thieves find themselves stuck in an isolated house with far more dangerous people. It shares The Cottage’s criminal farce, escalating peril and deliberately nasty sense of humour.
05
Why this pick
A lads’ rural getaway becomes a splattery siege, driven by bickering losers and broad British humour. It matches the rough-and-ready, isolated-cottage horror-comedy side of The Cottage.

01 / THE STORY
Two brothers, David and Peter, kidnap Tracey, the stepdaughter of Arnie, an underworld crime boss. After a heated conversation at the kitchen table, Peter and David retrieve the unconscious Tracey from the car trunk. As they try to get her upstairs Peter gets sidetracked by her chest not realizing that she has woken up. She headbutts him several times and Peter screams with pain. David manages to get her off him and has to fix Peter's now bloody and broken nose after tying her to the bed frame. The pair hold her for ransom in a secluded country cottage. Things begin to go wrong when Arnie's dimwitted son and stepbrother of Tracey, Andrew delivers the ransom. Instead of money, the bag is filled with napkins. David and Peter realize that not only have they been deceived, but Arnie knew about Andrew's involvement in the scheme all along.
