A kebab shop owner's son becomes a creative vigilante as he takes grisly revenge on the violent youths who killed his father.....
K-shop's cover sleeve stated that it was the most anticipated horror of 2017. Narrow it down a little to the most awaited Sweeny Todd-esque film set in Bournemouth of 2017, then your on way.
The film centres around Salah, and him inheriting his families fast food shop after his dad dies. Because there were loads of stereotypical drunk Brits shouting at him at the time, Salah decides to kill anyone who appears out of sorts when they enter his place.
Because this would obviously make up for his fathers untimely death. The first act is pretty intense, as we see what Salah is doing to the corpses. Yes, in fact, he's making them into kebabs and planning on just keeping them arm. But then Keith from The Office enters, says something to his friend about conning old people out of money, so he serves then human kebab meat.
But after that, he seems to stop turning the bodies into said meat, and it focuses more on him, and the oppression he encounters on a nightly basis. Now this is all well and good, but the secondary characters are laughable, and add nothing to the narrative. These are characters we are all used to, thanks to the slew of Brit Gangster movies released in the late nineties thanks to Guy Ritchie, and they instantly make the film a little star.
There are a couple of sub plots involving a teen who knows what he is doing, and a raspy voiced 'bad boy' who wants the shop, and these fall flat too.
The film did have so much potential, but it runs out of steam about halfway through.
