The Cottage is a 2008 British black comedy horror film, written and directed by Paul Andrew Williams.

Things begin to go wrong when Arnie's dimwitted son and stepbrother of Tracey, Andrew, delivers the ransom.

While there, he happens across some sinister locals who, upon learning that he and his companions are staying at the Barnarby Cottage, warn him to keep his doors locked and not to wander.

Disturbed, David returns to the cottage to find that Tracey — who has proven to be highly intelligent and resourceful, albeit foul-mouthed and somewhat psychopathic — has incapacitated Andrew and abducted Peter.

After opening a trapdoor in the kitchen to reveal a secret staircase leading down into the cellar, Tracey is stabbed through the stomach by the Farmer.

He then chases Andrew into the nearby horse stables, where he viciously attacks him with a hunting knife before ripping his spine out.

But Peter still has the end of the rope, and he continues tugging on it, eventually causing the Farmer to collapse on top of the trap door.

He flicks on his cigarette lighter to reveal the Farmer's equally insane and hideous wife and daughters standing all around him.
