Welcome to Curiosity review – inane thriller

Hamfisted dialogue and sexist attitudes abound in this corny crime caper
  
  

Welcome to Curiosity – trailer

Shot in Cornwall and set in the fictional English hamlet of Curiosity, this low-budget thriller sets four interlinked storylines involving a murderer, an asylum escapee, and a botched heist on a collision course. The eye-watering inanity of its pitifully panto-style gangster-movie dialogue (“Some have broken hearts – others have broken heads”) almost outweighs its egregious sexism. Equally incredible, though admittedly more interesting, is the story of its director, Ben Pickering, a former Tory candidate convicted in 2014 for his involvement in a £5m mortgage scam.
