Inbred

Gory 'film-within-a-film' opening scene aside, Inbred takes a bloody age to get to the good stuff and could never be accused of being all that original, the 'city-folk falling foul of rural maniacs' plot-line borrowing heavily from many sources: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The League of Gentlemen, 2000 Maniacs, Hostel, Wrong Turn, and Straw Dogs, to name just a few.

However, it's all well worth the wait, Chandon finally opening the violence valves and lifting the splatter sluice gates after forty-five minutes to transform proceedings into a gloriously demented, blood-drenched piece of xenophobic craziness that more than lives up to the gory hype. True, some of the CGI is less than perfect, but with the level of nastiness set so high, it really doesn't matter: it's easy to ignore the occasional dodgy effect when people are being hideously mutilated with such regularity, enthusiasm and imagination.

Chandon pulls out the stops to entertain in the worst possible taste, with amazingly twisted characters and a catalogue of carnage that is truly staggering, including a fantastic beheading with a meat cleaver, numerous shot gun blasts to the head and torso, a horse stomping a skull, chainsaw dismemberment, and a really disgusting 'slurry pump body explosion'. The only thing he forgets to include is some gratuitous female nudity; even Emily Booth, who has a brief cameo, keeps all of her clothes on!

It has taken Alex Chandon, the director 10 years to make another horror after the much acclaimed Cradle Of Fear (2001). Was it worth the wait, well on part of the script we all have seen it before, a group of offenders and their workers are out for a weekend to get to know each other much better. That takes 15 minutes into this flick before it all goes wrong. But even then it takes a while before the real horror comes in. But if you have the patient to wait long enough you will be rewarded by gore galore.

If you see the opening with Emily Booth then you know what you will get. But once back in time it takes indeed a while before a small accident becomes an atrocity. It doesn't has a Hollywood ending. What do works are the effects used. For a flick like that they really looked great, okay CGI but you have to do it that way here for such kind of gorefest. A small wink to Texas Chainsaw when Podge is swinging with his chainsaw.

Not bad at all, don't think to see a flick with a great story like Kill List (2011) but a pure delight for gorehounds.

I don't know how to explain this film, other than it was messy. Very interesting and strange, but a messy look on it. The characters were very annoying and way too loud all the way through the film, the hillbillys were insane and absolute freaks. It was a very uncomfortable movie to watch, a lot of the senses, especially the two boys in the show, will never get out of my head.

I don't know how a normal person could come up with a movie like this and enjoy creating it. It wasn't scary, It was just very uncomfortable and had a weird feeling all the way through it. It wasn't an awful film at all, because it is memorable, it leaves a strange effect on you if you are easily freaked out by the amount of gore constantly throughout the movie.

As soon as i watched it all and turned it off, I was very annoyed at myself for even deciding to put it on in the first place, because i knew i wouldn't forget it.

The end of the movie was a hit of a let down though, killing off the outsiders just had less effort throughout. But it's kind of tongue in cheek at some point between the hillbilly's, they're funny, but also terrifying and absolutely crazy, I wouldn't want to come across them in my lifetime EVER!

It is tough to write about this movie. First and foremost, I have to admit, that I think the guy that made this, is exceptionally funny in person. Very modest and down to earth, he is a guy you can hang out with and talk to. Concerning his movie though (this one in particular), I have to say, that I couldn't really enjoy this. Not my cup of tea so to speak. I watched it at Frightfest too (as other reviewers here) and though the reviews have been mostly positive, the reaction of the crowd was split down the middle.

It's always like this with a movie that dares to be different and does not care about political correctness. But that's not my beef with it. I actually liked the main bad guy of the movie. He has charisma and brings quite a lot to his role. Unfortunately the humor the director boils it down to, never quite achieves anything (not for me that is).

Plot twists that are as weak as our "good" characters or their motivation. You are not used to people being clever in these movies, but the level of stupidity shown by some of the characters here defies explanation ... I'm not trying to tell you what to think of it, but I hope you got the mood the movie does live by and can decide for yourself, if that is worth your time

This movie is like an English version of Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Hostel. Some stupid train workers run into a group of 'Inbred' English hillbilly types out in the fields somewhere and lots of gore and especially lots of YELLING ensue.

I don't think I have ever seen a movie with so much YELLING.

But the gore is FUN. And the end, it was alright.

I would watch a sequel because it was a fun watch. 5/10.
