Bogieville

It is a very low budget film, but although clearly limited with it's production options, the actual story and the effects are very well.handled. Avoids some predictable horror clichés and is clearly trying it's own thing, even with acknowledgement that it's inspired by a bigger budget 80s horror classic. Maybe reworking the story to be more UK based would help give it a few more options on the overall production. But you cannot deny the effort put in by all involved to deliver their best for this production. Would begreat to see what could be achieved with a much bigger budget for future efforts.

So I had the pleasure of going to the UK premiere of Sean Cronin's independent British horror film Bogieville.

Now for me I am sold already as it's a vampire movie, I felt Bogieville did take a little well to get going at first it felt more like a drama than a horror movie but once the story had invested and progressed it started to get into it a lot more.

For me it was bloody camp and fun, ignore some of the accents but hats of to the British cast for trying to do a redneck accent , rather you than me.

The vampires looked fantastic , for me it had shades of hills have eyes meets daybreakers.

Overall this was a fun film and it's great to see British indie horror , independent cinema is well and truly alive, just want to thank Sean and the crew for an amazing night , met some lovely people .

Long live independent cinema.

Sure, without ever having heard about this 2024 horror movie "Bogieville", from director Sean Cronin and writer Henry P. Gravelle, I still opted to watch it. I am a big fan of all things horror after all.

Writer Henry P. Gravelle put together an okay script and storyline, though the narrative was a bit sluggish at times. There were moments in the movie where it felt like the narrative went into Neutral and went nowhere. But overall, it was an okay enough entertaining script for a vampire movie, just could have used a bit more excitement and action sequences.

The acting performances in "Bogieville" are good, and it was nice to see Indonesian actor Arifin Putra in an American movie. Director Sean Cronin was also starring in the movie. I was actually only familiar with Arifin Putra on the entire cast list.

Visually then "Bogieville" was good. The vampires look feral, and doesn't have that archetypical charming appearance that you would expect from the Bram Stoker's inspired vampires.

This movie will appeal to fans of the vampire genre at large, of that I am sure. I was moderately entertained, but it is hardly a movie that warrants more than a single viewing.

My rating of director Sean Cronin's 2024 movie "Bogieville" lands on a five out of ten stars.

This was a great low budget horror film, that I highly recommend to anyone, especially horror fans.

The cast were amazing, the storyline was great, the cinematography was stunning (especially the caravan park) and the VFX were commendable!

I am not a horror fan. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The jump scares were great. Although it was a horror, it was not too gory. The storyline was interesting and different to what I would've expected it to be and I would recommend this to any film, but even if you're not a fan of horror.

Hats off to the director of the cast and the crew. Great work on this film. From Rob Horrocks (insta: @rob_horrocks).

I really enjoyed this film and the budget may have been low but the ingenuity and creative skills employed were a credit to all involved. The story was original the sound track perfection, makeup, special effects and the standard of acting was excellent. The horror was interspersed with poignant moments alongside wry humour, thoroughly enjoyable. The critics obviously don't appreciate the talent and effort that goes into indie films and should be ashamed at their bad judgement and lack of support to the industry. Script writers, film makers, crew and actors give their all to these projects and negative and downright unfair comments have a huge impact on the earning potential. Uncalled for.
