This is yet another horror entry featuring the well-trodden plot line of ordinary folks taking a stroll through the countryside, only to be menaced by odd and ghoulish happenings. As with others of its ilk, this one relies on a familiar formula and features the standard subgenre motifs of pasty faced weirdos, creepy children and malicious townsfolk.
As this has been done innumerable times, and with much better results, this one largely falls flat. There are some above average makeup and gore effects, but these are lost in a picture which fails to differentiate itself from a plethora of other "Bad Things in the Backwoods" type films which dominate the throwaway bin at your local video store.

I choose to watch this film while I was in a search for something scary after mistakenly reading that it has won an award at some "Horrorthon" festival. It hasn't won any awards and it most probably won't. It was just screened there, but I'm glad I watched it. It was pretty much exactly what I was looking for. A creepy and scary horror movie.
For a low budget and an unknown cast this was a very good effort. The other reviewer is right to point out that that it is mis-titled, "Plague Town" does not accurately describe the film, but so what! (And just for the other reviewers benefit, I do not believe they are eating corned beef and cabbage sandwiched, I believe they are eating pasties)
It has barely nothing for a storyline but then most horror films don't. A horror film is about setting the scene and then laying on the threat of what is going to happen next. An American family find themselves stranded in the middle of some Irish countryside near a village which they quickly discover, to their misfortune, is populated by demon children. It has hints of "Children of the Corn", a nudge towards "Rosemary's Baby", and I suspect an admiration for the Sadako character from the Japanese "Ring" films.
I watched this movie alone, in my flat, with the lights off, and it was pretty unnerving in places. It's the first film that I've watched in a long time where I've come away feeling slightly nervous to walk around my own flat. I for sure do not want to get stranded in any Irish countryside after watching this.

This movie was plagued to be horrible after the first scene. The plot was very predictable. The "children" were very creepy looking. I would not want to run into them in a dark alley. They were the only thing interesting about this movie. If they had given an explanation of why these children were born as they were, it would have added a lot to the story. Also they should have made it clear as to whether or not what the children were doing was ritualistic to try to turn the town's luck around, or was it all just sport for them. The way the Englishman ended up seemed very ritualistic. My biggest question is how did the outlying towns not know about this little community? This was a waste of time to watch and could have been a better movie with very little effort on the part of the people that made the movie. Just by giving some explanations would have enhanced the movie. I found it totally boring and a bunch of nonsense with some good make-up effects thrown in.
The setting was creepy, perfect for a good ole travelers fall prey to a community of mutants film. Other than that it sucked. I'm not blaming the actors, some of them were decent, they just had nothing to work with. Annoying characters that you have no sympathy for rule the day. The deformed mutants were just people with their faces painted white. Lots of gore if you like that stuff. Lame plot with little backstory and an ending that might have intended to shock you, but it does not. I liked the creepy whispers on the woods. Molly was fairly well played and a bit cute. Low budget action scenes that made me giggle. Skip it.
Anyone who knows horror knows that this misunderstood genre has seen much better days. The 90's was by far the worst period ever, although our current decade hasn't been THAT much better. Most people are limited to the mainstream, the first 4 Saw's were good, and our pal. Rob Zombie has made quite an impact, but The truth is, nowadays, independent horror is the only place to find true quality. I'm not talking about Dimension Extreme independent, I'm talking about Subrosa independent, I'm talking about Troma independent, yeah, B-movies. Some are worthless, some are awesome, but once in awhile, even in this day in time, one might stumble across a rare work of art, just waiting to be discovered. Enter Plague Town.
About a family, none of which seem to enjoy each others company, vacationing in the depths of Ireland. They have some British guy with them, apparently to keep the more ornery daughter quiet, which doesn't work, but it was a nice thought nonetheless.
The bickering family, along with British guy, wonder around just long enough to miss the bus back, but is eventually offered help by a harmless, yet peculiar stranger, even though they didn't feel they needed it, although, it's not dark yet , now is it?
There are some disturbing things that come out at night around these parts, dangerous things with bad intentions that aren't necessarily looking to kill, but what this family doesn't realize, there are some scenario's far worse than death.
I am Impressed beyond words, Plague Town is proof that The Horror genre is alive and well, and I was starting to worry, but never mind, David Gregory is on it. Eli Roth could learn a thing or two from this guy. Certain things, as insignificant as they may seem, really brings out the horror in the horror. Everything about Plague Town looks dark and desolate, not a lot of color. Plague Town is not over-scored, which is also a plus. Very little character development, as strange as that may seem, makes for quality horror, the less you know the better, in this genre mystery equals success. The vibe of Plague Town reminds me of obscure horror gems of the 70's, like Messiah Of Evil and Bruial Ground, as if it just ended up with the pure essence of horror by accident. We're looking at quality from all directions, from the simple, yet horrifying plot, to the subtle, yet haunting score, to the brutality and hopelessness, to that adorable, worried-looking chick. They got it all right. Plague Town is the horror masterpiece of the decade. 8/10

- CuriosidadesKate Aspinwall was 14 years old when she played "Rosemary". It was her first film.
- Erros de gravaçãoAlthough the film is supposedly set in Ireland and the bus drives on the left, the passenger door is on the right. Anybody alighting from the bus would step down into traffic, giving away the fact that the bus is from a country that drives on the right.
