Inbred (2011)

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This was another Horror Channel late night feature. Horror Channel can be a bit hit and miss, but occasionally you get a few nice, low budget British horror ('Stalled' is a good example of a super low budget Brit horror that they've shown and was a pleasant surprise).I started out quite happy, as it had legendary UK Scream Queen Emily Booth in the opening scenes. Sadly, this was just a brief cameo.It's your standard issue cannibal-hillbilly-gang-hunts-kills-and eats-dumb-kids gorefest, just set in Yorkshire rather than the woods of West Virginia, and it's crap.If you've ever seen League of Gentlemen, you'll immediately see this is a rip off of the villagers of Royston Vasey (they even use the 'you can never leave' line and blatant use of Papa Lazarou's black face and outfit).They used a fair bit of expensive CGI together with old school effects and the deaths by horse and muck spreader were quite creative, but the kids and social workers in peril were irritating and so you don't really care if they live or die. If you want a semi decent British horror about young offenders in peril, go watch 'Wilderness' instead. It's not perfect, but it's 'Casablanca' compared to this.You might dig it if you're absolutely wasted on home brewed vodka, just make sure it's not just watered down pee.Even 'Wrong Turn 6' was better than this, and that was abysmal.

I watched this film based on the trailer and perhaps the trailer ruined it for me. Most of the kills are shown in the trailer so there weren't much new to see in the film. The kills are few and far spaced out in between each other with the longest dry spot happens soon after the first two murdered victims. Because of this, the film doesn't build any kind of momentum and the dialog feels monotonous, the whole film was very sluggish for me. The comedy is dim-witted and not very funny. Having said that, the special effects and methods of the kills are very good, gory and creative, but not enough to make up for what seem to be an arduous viewing. If this film came up on cable TV, I would tell a friend to shut off the television and just go for a walk outside.

If you enjoy: a) brilliant, convincing acting; b) careful character development; c) well-constructed plots; d) innovative cinematography; e) artfully-crafted scripting; f) top entertainment value; g) memorable shock scenes; h) nail-biting suspense; i) creative use of props and scenery... then stay away from this flick: it delivers NONE of the above. I watched the whole thing. Very early on, I knew it was rubbish, but dared myself to stick with it to the bitter end... and it was indeed bitter. Hard to appreciate how the film earned an overall score above 5, but them's the facts, ma'am. Standards had to be set very low by the viewers, or they were watching while in a very "happy" mood.

Five things the film does right:1. The most irritating character gets chopped up first.2. The gore is genuinely disturbing, this is not a film for the squeamish.3. Some very inventive deaths... my favourite is the one where the guy is forcefed with the muckspreader... 4. The ending was somewhat... Unexpected (In a good way). 5. The mutants sing a catchy little song about killing outsiders throughout, but we only hear one verse. If you have the full version, PM me.Five things the film does wrong:1. More characters making stupid decisions... Would you REALLY leave all your mobile phones at home if you were in a village full of deformed cannibals? The list goes on...2. Yes, we know they're in fear for their lives, but there is some serious overacting here from the potential victims. 3. The film LIES to us... it says that the best holiday a young offender in custody can hope for is a week away collecting scrap metal from abandoned railways, when the truth is probably more along the lines of Sun, Sea and Surf in Spain. At the taxpayer's expense of course...4. The director seems to believe that just looking at the freaks of nature that inhabit the ramshackle village should be enough to scare you. I dunno, I reckon I've seen far more fearful specimens staggering about my town centre on a Saturday night. Mostly wearing Crocs and ill-fitting boob tubes. If you didn't laugh, you'd... 5. The resale value for it on eBay could be higher...That's it. I'm off down the pub for some lemonade and a packet of hairy pork scratchings. Care to join me? ;) 5/10
