CGiii Comment
Butterworth's debut...and, his demise.
Just look at all those 5-star reviews on the poster!!!
Not one actor, writer/director should work again.
Apologies, we only watched 15 minutes of this garbage...switched off with no regrets.

The(ir) Blurb...
Two city-boy brothers, one a charismatic optimist, the other a whining corporate sell-out, return to the countryside for their father's funeral. On checking out his decrepit estate the boys find one of their dad's ancient friends hiding in a closet with a bag full money. Whilst they decide what to do the pensioner is left to suffocate in the closet, leaving them with a much bigger problem to deal with; tell the police, or leave the body in his own home and pretend nothing happened (keeping the money in the process). This opens their world up to a series of bizarre incidents resulting in the village's quirky population gently decreasing during their short stay.
