Strikes me sort of like a British version of ‘The Burbs’…AT FIRST.
Elfie and friend are not-very-good-or-necessary “investigators” until a somewhat odd new family moves into town.
Basically it’s a “dark”-ish comedy in the lightest possible sense…up to a point.
Unfortunately, after a while of fairly decent buildup along those lines it finishes as a generic horror flick with a rather weak ending.
Disappointing, really…I was hoping for better.
To those perfectionists (not me. well, sometimes.) and Britons (sp?, Alba Gu Brath!) who criticize my usage of the US name and release date, this quote from Cliff in the spirit of fun:
“So if you Brits ever find yourselves in trouble against, uh, another major military power like Argentina, don’t worry about a thing. We Yanks will be there to bail you out just like we worked on the last two big ones, eh?”
