You don’t have to go to Texas for a deranged cannibal family. Try Heathrow Airport closer to home. That’s where Terminal cleaner Lena is stranded after night shift and accepts help from perky colleague Birdie who lives nearby with her parents. But her home turns out to be the worst House of Horrors. For Mum and Dad abduct lone immigrants, torturing and debasing them into becoming part of their murderously dysfunctional kin. And Lena is their latest victim to find out that a family who sexually plays together also slays together. A genuinely shocking, darkly witty and tense little terror, newcomer Steven Sheil pushes all the boundaries in his brilliantly executed directing debut. Part Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny and Girly, part Frightmare all infused with matter-of-fact violence and nerve-wracking disgust. Think Tobe Hooper meets Mike Leigh for the horrendously unique delights on startling offer in this very British nightmare.
 

Directed by Steven Sheil. Starring as Mum – Dido Miles, Dad – Perry Benson, Lena – Olga Fedori, Birdie – Ainsley Howard and Elbie – Toby Alexander. UK 2008, 90 minutes. UK distributor: BBC Films.. Web site
