Boys from County Hell

Dark comedy horror from Ireland: unique, charming, funny, gory, refreshing, beautiful... this is a film which lacks a real identity but the comic parts managed to keep all the others together.

Few funny one-liners and witty dialogs were lifting the spirit during the 88 minutes, so it was out-right hilarious at times... then the vampire comes. The balance just wasn't right but I still enjoyed it. Immensely!

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.

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

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.

It was both funny and entertaining! I kind of loved it, but it's definitely not worth a second watch...
