A socially awkward couple head off on a caravan tour of
England in this offbeat British black comedy from 2012.
Still grieving the loss of her pet dog, Tina (Alice Lowe)
agrees to let new boyfriend Chris (Steve Oram) take her on a meticulously
planned caravan holiday. The plans soon change when the duo encounter a number
of other travellers with murderous consequences.
There are some moments of humour in this otherwise dreary
tale which only springs to life with the odd explosion of violence or totally
inappropriate comment. Unfortunately it falls into the trap of not being funny
enough to be a good comedy or serious enough to make a decent crime ridden road
trip romp.
Lowe and Oram are good enough to hold the viewers attention but even
their best efforts can’t elevate this above mediocrity.

I haven't heard of this one. I guess that's why!
