Imagine Hannibal Lecter after an SAS survival course and you’ve got Luke Evans’ charismatic antihero, a novelty-death-dealing Swiss army knife with a ludicrous ad-lib arsenal. Ryûhei Kitamura’s second US film is a gore-splashed house-invasion horror played with unrepentant, corny gusto. In one corner: Evans’ serial killer. In the other: a psychotic gang. In the middle: Adelaide Clemens’ crafty hostage. The battle is blunt: what sharpens it are spiky twists and Kitamura’s sheer cheek: he riffs on everything from The Hitcher to Apocalypse Now. Cultdom beckons. Sequel welcome. Bring an apron.
