Norval Greenwood (Elijah Wood) – a privileged, awkwardly hipsterish mammy’s boy in his thirties – receives a letter from his estranged father, whom he hasn’t seen since childhood. Norval makes the journey to his father’s beautiful, remote waterside cabin, only to discover his hopes of reconnecting with his dad are fainter than he envisaged. Before long, his visit begins a nightmarish descent. Darkly hilarious, and packed with moments that will make you both laugh out loud and wince, Ant Timpson’s directorial debut is an exhilarating, blood-soaked barrel of fun. SE
