Cherry Tree Lane Trailers

Prosperous professional couple Mike and Christine are settling in for a standard evening of wine, TV and low-level marital hostility when a ring on their doorbell changes everything. Turns out their son Sebastian is in a little trouble with some local boys, who are quite prepared to camp out and wait for him to get home ... the resulting culture-clash chamber drama is raw, revealing and nerve-splittingly tense.

Reviews
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Leofwine_draca CHERRY TREE LANE is a British addition to the over-crowded sub-genre of the 'home invasion' thriller. Such films typically involve respectable middle-class families finding themselves under siege from sadistic criminals or thugs, as the plotting sees fit; these films have cat and mouse aspects to their narratives, as each side seeks to gain an upper hand. The sub-genre has been going since the 1970s, and shows no signs of slowing down just yet.This is a particularly boring addition to that genre, content to repel the viewer with endless, protracted scenes of characters shouting and swearing at each other while little happens to propel or indeed develop the narrative. A couple are attacked in their home and held hostage by a gang who are awaiting the return of the couple's son. The characters are moronic, devoid of intelligence and given over to brute violence, which makes for a gruelling viewing experience and not in a good way. There's no decent acting here, no characters to empathise with, just repellent material interspersed with a few scenes of brutal violence. It's a film almost entirely devoid of entertainment value.
bobbybits This is a stupidly, awful, tedious film ultimately trying to unmask the inner workings of a mind of a crackhead. Can you see the problem here it is brainless. If anybody can make films, then with this film anybody has.Why didn't they kill the father and mother to begin with effectively ending the pointless film at the start. Only as attackers to wait in their home and talking to them the entire film? Why would you give the victim a drink? Who brings a little kid into the house that is being attacked despite the bulls..t plot? Why if after raping the wrinkled mother are you going to call your girlfriend round to that same house, without killing the victim? Why did we need the endless dialogue from idiots, who are stupid to think? Telling their victims more and more details about themselves only to be identified later. Why was their reasoning with telling them that they would be let free because it was only their son they had any beef? Who can't break through gaff-tape with their nails? Why would you need an ashtray at the home your attacking? So many times said don't look at my face victim, you doughnut he watched you enter, attack him. Not wearing a mask, of course he seen your stupid face 100 times, he could close his eyes and still see your face.That above list goes on and on almost never ending in its stupidity. If this film is classed as suspense then undoubtedly you are a moron who likes a lesson in boredom and retardism. Right after the film I flicked on the news to watch the headlines former Mircosoft executive plans a trillion dollar industry of importing cannabis into the United States via the president of Mexico and legally distributing his product to net a cool trillion. He had red-eye and was stoned it really is no wonder he got the sack. This film was complete bullsh.. Acting was awful, Plot was awful, Dailogue was awful, Camera-work any crackhead can use a mobile phone this what these kids use1 out 10. Whoever makes these films should be drawn and quartered. Did this film promote awareness, don't trust youths you don't know banging on your door, Gad that is just so clever
dermot-409-568476 This is a nothing film. Nothing original, no substance, no real flow to it, boring, predictable.I find it hard to believe that this came from the same director who made the brilliant 'London to Brighton', maybe he should have retired after that.Don't watch this movie. I'll save you seventy minutes.-Couple gets attacked. - Mum gets raped. - Thugs wait on son they want to kill to come home. - Son comes home. - Dad saves day with candle stick. - The end.I kept watching in the hope that the end would be OK, it wasn't. Seriously do not watch this movie.
rollexx You know that feeling when the film suddenly stops short, you're left with no closure or satisfaction, and as the credits start to roll you begin to wonder why you watched this movie in the first place? This movie leaves that you with that awful taste after watching it. The majority of it takes place within a living room, alongside mindless distractions and unnecessary violence that prolongs an end to this horrid movie; the plot seems to be going no where. And you're continually wondering when this slow, drawn-out buildup finally leads to a climax or resolution, but it is very anti-climatic.I would describe it to the likes of a teenager's first sexual experience; awkward, the other never feeling satisfied or seeing a climax, and a long sigh of disappointment immediately after.
