Boys from County Hell

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.

This film was certainly interesting. A creature feature that was done differently and it paid off. It's all about this group of people living on the moors of irland, who have to contend with a bloodthirsty creature. We first get introduced to Eugene. He works for his father Francis. The rate two others like Eugene William and Clair and after Eugene knocks down a pile of rocks it starts off something hidden within and now him and the others have to fight to stay alive while also trying to put the creature back. We don't really fully see the creature but it is created well and has shock value. I thought the acting was pretty good and overall a good film.

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!

Enjoyed this film. Embodies northern Irish culture and comedy while being an entertaining horror movie at the same time.

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.
