R,1hr 36min Released: June 1, 2007 Director: Distributor: Magnolia Pictures Starring: DVD Review by Sean Axmaker, Special to MSN Movies This clever little British horror is set in the midst of a "team-building weekend" for the staff of an international munitions contractor, whose "luxury lodge" is a dump in the middle of a Romanian forest. Who knew it was the Soviet theme-park franchise of the "Hostel" entertainment chain? It's been described -- and pretty spot-on at that -- as "The Office" meets "Deliverance," only the hunters in these woods are living ghosts of ruthless militia units of the Communist past. Director/co-writer Christopher Smith puts an inventive spin on a familiar hunt-and-kill horror genre and fills the edges with sardonic humor and fantasy visions. Laura Harris, Danny Dyer and Toby Stephens star. Features commentary by Smith with members of the cast and crew, four featurettes, deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes footage among its supplements. | ||||||||||||||
