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.

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

I've enjoyed watching Irish horror movies lately! This is a pretty decent movie. Keep them coming Ireland.

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.

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.
