... View MoreExcellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

... View MoreThis movie was so awful I went on my laptop ten minutes in to write this review. The acting was bad, the plot was bad, and the footage is nothing but killers running after victims while making confusing comments in between.The first half hour is nothing but close-ups of their face. The camera is practically shoved into their face. Even in a conversation, they'd have nothing but shots of their face. Even if they were running, they'd have shots of their face, a 2 second shot of their back, then back again to freakishly close shots of their face.You can't even rely on the gore in the movie, because most of it isn't shown, and if it is, it looks so fake, there's no way you can get scared.In the first part of the film, it was so obvious they used green screen. The lines were blurred, the scenes looked fake, it was like I was watching a Disney movie. Except I would have rather watched a Disney.An hour in, and the movie was still playing. By this time, no one was watching except me so I can make an accurate review. At this point, it's nothing but running, violence that's not really violence, screaming and hitting.You'd have to completely pay attention to this movie in order to understand what it's about but it's hard to even watch it for ten minutes.This movie was so bad, I would have called it a comedy if not for the fact that it was put in the horror section of the movie rentals. Except, even the humour sucked so either way, it's a bad comedy and a bad horror film.
... View MoreWhile driving his red truck through the countryside seeking adventure, Jon (Greg Martin) and his wife Susan (Hannah Flint) realize that they are lost. They find two rednecks on the road that give the directions and advise them to keep away from the "road of light". However, Jon decides to risk and gets the lonely road, trying to find an inn to spend the night. They reach the Beesley's Manor in Grockleton, and they are welcomed by the weird Landlord (Chris R. Wright) that provides a room for the couple. Meanwhile, the friends Ric (James Ford), Shaz (Tamaryn Payne), Heather (Sophie Rundle) and Marcus "Helmet" (Simon Stanley-Ward) comes to Grockleton to hike in the woods; however, they are hunted by abnormal rednecks and only the clumsy Marcus survives. When the Landlord discovers that Susan is pregnant, he decides to spare her life to perpetuate this family. But Jon escapes and together with Marcus, they plot a plan to rescue Susan from the bizarre and dysfunctional family."Small Town Folks" is one of the weirdest movies I have recently seen. The stylized cinematography gives a bizarre atmosphere to the dark tale, but unfortunately the black humor of the strange story does not work very well and is annoying in many moments. First the slow villains are too stupid and the gags are based in their stupidity and not in witty situations; the acting in general is only reasonable; and Simon Stanley-Ward is weak and not funny enough to perform the lead role of the "anti-hero" Marcus. Despite my remarks, this movie is practically the debut of the whole team (director, writers, cast and crew) and they show potential in the beginning of their careers. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Cidade Maldita" ("Damned City")
... View MoreIt's true, I have quite the inclination for b-movies. Just like every genre or budget, there are the gems and the duds. 'Small Town Folk' falls in the former... It's true I just can't get enough. I actually bought this film just because of the box, I know - never judge a book by it's cover, and have watched it 3 times already. 'Small Town Folk' is bad... but it's so bad that its good... not just bad, bad - which I know makes a lot of sense to some of you.What makes this film so intriguing is the characters, the costumes, and believe it or not the cinematography... Yes it's actually done quite well. The acting is, of course, atrocious... but if the movie took itself seriously then we wouldn't have ourselves a shining little diamond in the rough, a cult classic if you will.The premise is simple and fun... Two lovers on holiday are looking for an adventure... Of course the find it, in a small village that no one would want to be stranded in. When the small town folk find out that the female is pregnant, they take much interest because the baby would mean another edition into their blood thirsty, dirty hick stricken village... And who wouldn't want that?A lot of people will hate this film, but those who have a deep appreciation for the bad will see 'Small Town Folk' for what it is... A bloody & entertaining ride into the deep depths of terrible cinema.
... View MoreI love all kind of B movies, everything from a B-Zombie film to a B-Horror film. But this one.... It was so bad, i just want my money back. The acting was bad, and not like OK bad, it was like watching some elementary kids giving out the lines. The the "plot" was very predictable and well.. just bad. I wont spoil anything but the whole movie is filmed in a studio, behind a big, fat blue screen. The opening sceen is showing some young adults driving around in the nowhere. But guess what, it's filmed in blue screen. They just had to use the Bluescreen to every scene in the whole movie.After seeing this i just wanna punch myself in the face for renting it, but i had some good laugh (due the bad acting) and because of that i rate it 2/10. And i apologize for bad spelling.
