This dark and often bloody comedy by Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith inspired by their decade-long anthology TV series is a mix of the intelligent and the obvious – part smart reinvention and part lazy cash-in.
There’s an undeniable thrill at seeing the duo –also formerly two-fourths of The League of Gentlemen – in the flesh, riffing like the old-school double-acts they idolise, and channeling their parallel love of horror into IRL jump scares.
