Boys from County Hell

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 have to say I am enjoying the Irish film industry and their treatment of horror/sci-fi. This film fits nicely into this mode. The film balances elements of seriousness, horror, comedy, and a particular sensibility that I can only assume is unique to the Irish culture. And it works nicely for me. As the government desires to have a new road put through a small village, the plans unearth an undead creature, leaving the town folk at its mercy. It's up to a small band of the construction crew to find out if they can stop the creature. Fun and engrossing film with just enough wit to keep it fun.

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

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

A nice and nasty little horror comedy well worth the watch, and a very original take on the old Vampire tales.

Great fun, if you manage to understand what the bloody hell they're sayin'! I'll wager most non-Irish English-speaking people will have a hard time understanding more than 80% of the dialog.

Other than that, this is an all-round well produced, acted and edited movie that should make everybody involved proud of the accomplishment, and everyone who watches it thankful for a very fun and original horror comedy, specially considering that nowadays you'll be very hard pressed to find any decent independent horror movies.
