The Seasoning House - film review

An extremely violent horror movie that's laugh-out-loud dumb
21 June 2013

This extremely violent horror movie is set in a Balkan brothel, in the mid 1990s, and has been described as a calling card for British make-up effects maestro, Paul Hyett.

His debut centres on Angel, an orphaned deaf mute (played by the perfectly adequate Rosie Day) whose tasks include preparing the girls for work and injecting them with smack. Pimp, Viktor (Kevin Howarth), purrs evil commands in a “mittel European” accent, while gorgeous girls writhe in slo-mo. Meanwhile, Sean Pertwee pops up as Angel's nemesis, milita leader, Goran. He's even more wicked than Viktor. Can Angel make him pay for his crimes? The whole thing is laugh-out-loud dumb. The next time Hyett calls, I'll definitely pretend to be out.
