| The Cottage | comment |
The Cottage is a 2008 British darkly comedic Slasher Movie.Two brothers desperate for cash have abducted a mob boss's daughter, bungling it the entire way. The mob boss himself has hired a few hitmen to exterminate the kidnappers and rescue his daughter. The daughter has turned the tables on our protagonists and taken one of them hostage. This caper only gets more complicated when a psychotic farmer with an axe starts killing everybody. | |

Downer Ending: After being rendered the sole survivor of our victim pool with the death of his brother, Peter manages to seemingly kill the Farmer. In the course of these events, Peter falls into the basement, which is closed with the Farmer's corpse and a large dresser on top. Unable to escape through the cellar door, Peter decides to investigate the rest of the room for an escape route, only to find the Farmer's equally insane and cannibalistic family down there, who have decided that he's their next lunch. The ending reveals that the Farmer survived his fight with Peter, too. | |

Disc-One Final Boss: Muk Li San and Chun Yo Fu seem to be the Big Bad Duumvirate of the film, being the two hitmen Arnie sent to fetch his daughter, but the Farmer makes short work of them halfway through the film, causing the film to take a Genre Shift from crime comedy to Slasher Movie. | |
