Six Mile Hill is a small Irish town. Local legend has a vampire named Abhartach buried under a pile of rocks. He is supposed to be the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula. Eugene Moffat and William Bogue are screw-up best friends who spend their time drinking at the local pub, The Stroker. Eugene's father is allowing the bypass onto his land and intends to knock down the burial rocks without telling his neighbors. One night, the boys are drunk and a boar kills William spilling his blood. Soon, Abhartach is released and the town is in danger.
This is a nice little vampire indie. It's rewriting the vampire lore and I like it. It has some fun with the well known story. While it writes new rules, they are a bit murky. It's a minor issue but some clarification would be helpful. It's really nice when an indie does something new with old material and it does it well.

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've enjoyed watching Irish horror movies lately! This is a pretty decent movie. Keep them coming Ireland.
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.
Enjoyed this film. Embodies northern Irish culture and comedy while being an entertaining horror movie at the same time.

- TriviaSome believe that Bram Stoker [1847 - 1912], who was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, was inspired to write Dracula based on an Irish legend of a vampire known as Abhartach. Stoker lived in Ireland around the same time as Patrick Weston Joyce [1827 - 1914] was sharing his tales of Abhartach. It is Abhartach, not Dracula, that is the vampire featured in this film.
