The film is a fusion of the theatrical style found in classic Ealing Comedies with modern British humour.

Following the death of their father, two sons inherit a decrepit cottage in a small British village in the middle of nowhere.

They soon find the building also contains a large sum of unexpected cash, and through a combination of bad luck and very poor judgment they soon find themselves having to deal with an increasing body count of elderly villagers while attempting to avoid suspicion.

[2] Dennis Harvey, reviewing the film for Variety, called it "an agreeable Ealing-meets-Farrelly feel on modest means" that will "amuse casual viewers and delight genre fans".

[3] George Haymont of the Huffington Post called it "one of the most refreshingly inventive and lovingly crafted send-ups of a beloved genre to be seen in many a moon" and is "the blackest of comedies and a joyful romp rolled into one very pleasing package".
