Boys from County Hell

Dark comedy horror from Ireland: unique, charming, funny, gory, refreshing, beautiful... this is a film which lacks a real identity but the comic parts managed to keep all the others together.

Few funny one-liners and witty dialogs were lifting the spirit during the 88 minutes, so it was out-right hilarious at times... then the vampire comes. The balance just wasn't right but I still enjoyed it. Immensely!

A nice and nasty little horror comedy well worth the watch, and a very original take on the old Vampire tales.

Great fun, if you manage to understand what the bloody hell they're sayin'! I'll wager most non-Irish English-speaking people will have a hard time understanding more than 80% of the dialog.

Other than that, this is an all-round well produced, acted and edited movie that should make everybody involved proud of the accomplishment, and everyone who watches it thankful for a very fun and original horror comedy, specially considering that nowadays you'll be very hard pressed to find any decent independent horror movies.

Very interesting take on the Bram Stoker legend. I enjoyed the film. It's not rocket science by any means but it's a decent story and a worthy watch for any vampire/dracula fans.

I have to say I am enjoying the Irish film industry and their treatment of horror/sci-fi. This film fits nicely into this mode. The film balances elements of seriousness, horror, comedy, and a particular sensibility that I can only assume is unique to the Irish culture. And it works nicely for me. As the government desires to have a new road put through a small village, the plans unearth an undead creature, leaving the town folk at its mercy. It's up to a small band of the construction crew to find out if they can stop the creature. Fun and engrossing film with just enough wit to keep it fun.

A slowish start but once it got going the Boys from County Hell was a fresh, fast paced and often hilarious take on the vampire genre. The setting is totally unglossy and characters are fleshed out well enough although there could have been a bit more for the secondary characters to do. Overall a very enjoyable and fun 90 minute film.
