Director: Alex Chandon. Writers: Alex Chandon and Paul Shrimpton. Cast: Jo Hartley, Seamus O'Neill, James Doherty, James Burrows, Neil Leiper, Chris Waller, Nadine Rose Mulkerrin, Terry Haywood, Damien Lloyd-Davies, Derek Melling, Mark Rathbone and Dominic Brunt. Tagline: "They came in peace...they left in pieces." Inbred is a little indie horror production from the United Kingdom and director Alex Chandon (Cradle of Fear). Chandon brings his years of experience in digital special effects to this title in bloody fashion. Very gory, Inbred is a tale of several youths sent up to the north of England to find reform with two social workers. They find a group of blood-thirsty town folk who need more bodies for their terror filled carnival. Thus, outsiders and locals collide in this horror production, which is filled with hilarious moments of dark comedy. Tim (James Burrows), Zeb (Terry Haywood), Sam (Nadine Mulkerrin) and Dwight (Chris Waller) are the dysfunctional kids.

UK/Germany, 2011

If you’re acquainted with Karl Pilkington, the most idiosyncratic and avant-garde thinker of the 21st century, then you’ll know that Northerners are “a bit weird, innit?” In the United Kingdom, Northerners are the equivalent to American Southerners (or, if you’re Canadian, anyone outside Toronto), and are often at the brunt of aren’t-they-poor, aren’t-they-backwards, aren’t-they-stupid, and, yes, even aren’t-they-inbred jokes. A country’s regional divide can serve as fodder for socio-economic and cultural insight, or gory and insular hillbilly horror; Inbred dabbles in the former, but ultimately ends up being the latter. If Deliverance and The Hills Have Eyes came together and got to know Kes in the biblical sense, Inbred would be their unholy offspring; a film that combines grindhouse and slaughterhouse.

The story follows four juvenile delinquents from...

To mark the release of Inbred from 8 October, we’ve got three copies of the film on Blu-ray and three Inbred T-shirts to give away!

Inbred, Directed by Alex Chandon (Cradle of Fear), is one of the most hotly anticipated genre films of 2012. Officially selected for 2011’s Frightfest, the film has grown and grown in notoriety and now the wait is finally over as this dark, witty, yet hilariously twisted tale is unleashed on DVD/ Blu-ray this 15 October.

Starring Jo Hartley (This is England 86/88, Ill Manors) and Seamus O’Neill (Dead Man’s Shoes, War Horse) as well as upcoming stars; James Burrows (Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood) and Nadine Rose Mulkerrin (Waterloo Road), Inbred boasts some stunningly realistic visual effects as well as an appearance from The Horror Channel’s Emily Booth and an unexpected but inspired cameo from Emmerdale’s Dominic Brunt as a chainsaw wielding henchman called ‘Podge.

★☆☆☆☆ What do you get if you cross The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and Straw Dogs (1971), with a dash of The League of Gentlemen black humour? Answer - Inbred (2011), the new comedy horror from director Alex Chandon. We start with four young offenders, Zeb (Terry Haywood), Dwight (Chris Waller), Sam (Nadine Rose Mulkerrin), and Tim (James Burrows), along with their minders Kate (Jo Hartley) and Jeff (James Doherty), off for a weekend of bonding and rehabilitation in the wilds of Yorkshire.

With Alex Chandon’s Inbred gearing up for a 21 September UK theatrical release (with DVD/Blu-ray following on 15 October), we got word the fictional residents of Mortlake are taking a stab at the music charts with the release of the film’s gap-toothed musical number “Ee By Gum.”

Sing along now!

Synopsis

Four young urban offenders and their care workers embark on a community service weekend in the strange, remote Yorkshire village of Mortlake, which prides on keeping itself to itself. Visiting the local pub, ‘The Dirty Hole,’ which serves home-made (and suspiciously hairy) pork scratchings, they quickly realise they’ve made the wrong holiday choice. A minor incident with some local inbred youths rapidly escalates into a blood-soaked, deliriously warped nightmare for all involved, and it’s just a case of who will survive and what will be left of them?

Opening Film - The Seasoning House (World Premiere)

Special make-up prosthetics and splatter genius Paul Hyett makes his directorial debut with a harrowing exploration into tense claustrophobia, hard-hitting action and rollercoaster suspense. In a Balkan brothel, where girls kidnapped by soldiers in war-torn zones are prostituted to the military and civilians alike, Angel (Robin Day) is the deaf mute orphan enslaved to care for the inmates. But unbeknownst to her captors, she moves between the walls and crawlspaces of the seasoning house planning her escape. Psychological horror in the nerve-shredding Alfred Hitchcock and Roman Polanski style but with an ultra-modern twist.

89 mins Director: Paul Hyett UK 2012

Alex Chandon, director of films such as Perivella and Cradle of Fear, has finally returned to the directors chair, some Ten years after his last feature, with Inbred – a film that sounds like a British version of the classic Hollywood “backwoods hillbilly freaks” stereotype, which stars Jo Hartley, Seamus O’Neill, James Doherty, James Burrows, Nadine Mulkerrin, Neil Leiper, and Terry Haywood.

Wow, now this is quite an unnerving start to the week. Alex Chandon's new UK horror 'Inbred' already sounds pretty crazy but this welcome fact is more than solidified by the release of a bunch of new one-sheets, teaser posters and quads from the movie each more disturbing and twisted than the last. The flick premiering at London's FrightFest next weekend stars Jo Hartley, Seamus O'Neill, James Doherty, James Burrows, Neil Leiper, Chris Walker, Nadine Rose Mulkerrin, Terry Haywood and Mark Rathbone. Check out the new posters below which do all have one thing in common; the inclusion of the strapline 'They Came In Peace. They Left In Pieces'...Nice..Nice....

Inbred will have its World Premiere at London's 2011 Fright Fest August 29th at 6:30pm. This film, shot in the United Kingdom, gives a very English flavour to an often seen American theme of inbreeding and mutation. Just think of the Wrong Turn series of films and the many Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies. Both of these series involve a family shunning normal societal behaviour in favour of murder and bloodshed. This stereotype was developed in the American Appalachians, to generalize a group of hard-working, but misunderstood people who mostly stuck to a clan mentality. Now, the massacre moves to the hills of Yorkshire, where a group of community workers are in for the surprise of their lives.

As well, this film is a co-production between New Flesh Films and Split Second Films. This is the first feature to be produced by New Flesh Films, but the seventh for Split Second.

Alex Chandon's British horror 'Inbred' looks to be the UK's answer to the likes of classic inbreeding horror flicks such as 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' and 'Wrong Turn'. The movie will get its World premiere screening at this years FrightFest in London later this month and it stars Jo Hartley, Seamus O'Neill, James Doherty, James Burrows, Neil Leiper, Chris Walker, Nadine Rose Mulkerrin, Terry Haywood and Mark Rathbone. Back last November we revealed a batch of new stills and a not-to-shabby poster and now today we can bring you a fresher collection of new stills as well as a new UK quad poster you lucky buggers.
