Teen-aged Elfie (Winstone) and her friend Dylan (Barnard) like to smoke
weed, ridicule her rich neighbours who hunt endangered animals, and investigate
mysteries in their village. When new, and very peculiar, neighbours move in,
they get more than they had bargained on.
The whole film is peculiar. But charming. A twisted British version of
Veronica Mars with a hint of the supernatural, and rather a lot more gore and
violence. But it’s quite sad too.
Not a film for everyone but from me a strong
3 ½ * of 5
