Inbred

Being a fan of those movies that detail the clashes of culture, the backwoods inbred tortuous heathens vs the clean cut/city folk on vacation who always just fall right into the hands of their captors, i was right away interested to see this film. The story is a rehash of most of these type of movies. As the movie approached the half an hour mark i was starting to get bored, and once the "meat" of the movie began, it turned silly and predictable. One thing the film does have going for it are some exceptionally great kill scenes. In fact once the killing started i found myself fast forwarding to the next one, and on till the end. If the director had put more energy into the story and made me care if these people were well you know "taken care of inbred style" then it would of made for a better experience. All in all its the same ol same ol, with some great gore. I gotta give it a 5.

thanks for reading my first review!

Ha! I've been to Yorkshire loads of times and have only been chopped up by yokels a couple of times. The rest of the time it's been lovely. Good food! But now after watching this I think I might have ate human flesh a couple of times.

Four annoying teenagers and two social workers head off to some backward town in Yorkshire for some reason and quickly realise that the residents are a bit Royston Vasey (the League of Gentleman is a BIG influence on this film). So what started out as a group exercise quickly turns into a total gore fest as our non-locals try to escape being forced into one of the sickest 'shows' you'll ever see.

Honestly, this is one of those 'folks being carved up by locals' films, but with a healthy does of British sarcasm! That guy you see with the twitch and chainsaw? That's Paddy from soap opera Emmerdale! Points for that! And he's great! The outsiders go up against the local and it's literally an explosion of blood and guts, folks are cut in half, have their heads blown off, are stamped by horses, and one guy is forced full of cow crap until he explodes! This film is mental and without the humour may not have worked, but it worked for me! Paddy also made a zombie film...I'm well tracking that down...

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!

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!

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.
