This film was certainly interesting. A creature feature that was done differently and it paid off. It's all about this group of people living on the moors of irland, who have to contend with a bloodthirsty creature. We first get introduced to Eugene. He works for his father Francis. The rate two others like Eugene William and Clair and after Eugene knocks down a pile of rocks it starts off something hidden within and now him and the others have to fight to stay alive while also trying to put the creature back. We don't really fully see the creature but it is created well and has shock value. I thought the acting was pretty good and overall a good film.
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.
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.

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.

- TriviaSome believe that Bram Stoker [1847 - 1912], who was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, was inspired to write Dracula based on an Irish legend of a vampire known as Abhartach. Stoker lived in Ireland around the same time as Patrick Weston Joyce [1827 - 1914] was sharing his tales of Abhartach. It is Abhartach, not Dracula, that is the vampire featured in this film.
