Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
sleeping_gorilla Plague Town is a B-Movie in the vein of Wrong Turn, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. A dysfunctional family discovers a village of horrors in a remote Irish countryside.The movie relies tired horror tropes, and is only occasionally scary. ***SPOILER*** Notably when the children first show up by the car, and the subsequent beating with the hub cap. ***END SPOILER***Too many "scary" scenes are long shots of heavily prosthetic actors basically standing around throwing random things at a "terrified" character. The principal acting isn't terrible, at times it's almost improve ("We have one!")Notable performance from Josslyn DeCrosta, though she and Erica Rhodes become pretty annoying as the second half of the movie goes south. Not to be a voyeur but with the "plot" of this movie and 3 attractive actresses it would have made sense for the girls to show a little skin.The soundtrack is pretty good, though constantly there. If you are a die hard horror fan, this movie will probably entertain you. I recorded this along with "Daisy Chain" as part of the Chillers St. Patrick's Day marathon. Daisy Chain is a much better film, but I'm sure that Plague Town will find an audience.
BakuryuuTyranno "Plague Town" has something many horror movies are lacking, especially the more recent ones. That being charismatic, interesting characters.The family members really don't get along too well, resulting in humorous dialogue which works in the context of the scenes. Even when it's clear something isn't right, the father tries to prevent his daughter from leaving, thinking it too dangerous. Of course when her boyfriend volunteers, said father encourages him.The problem? Well, after people start dying, without expendable characters the character dynamics fall apart, resulting in a horror movie considerably less entertaining when the horror begins than previously.At "Gorezone Weekend of Horrors", it did have one scene which made the audience gasp due to shock. I'm not spoiling that part.
Michael O'Keefe Creepy and chilling. Fans of gory violence will get their freak on. A dysfunctional American family is stranded in a remote countryside in Ireland searching for evidence of ancestral roots. The father(David Lambert)is trying to impress his fiancé(Lindsay Goranson), but has trouble keeping the travelers under control . A troubled daughter(Josslyn DeCosta)constantly bickers with her pain in the ass sister(Erica Rhodes)in tandem with her one track mind tag-along boyfriend(James Warke). Over the fields and through the woods a deformed and homicidal clan waits for company. A shocking and sinister brood with excellent skills with a meathook.
alexfromhorn That movie was astoundingly good. Really, my intention of watching this movie was "ah I'd like to watch some trashy b-movie, but huh? what is this? it's good!"I think the acting was something in the middle. It was OK, not bad and nothing especially good. The music was really shocking and fitting it was good, real horror-music. The story was OK, it lacked a little of information and the ending was quite strange but it was really acceptable for a b-horror-movie. But what almost instantly got me was the movies atmosphere, it was really catching in it's way and gave me the creeps. Really nice I choose this movie ^^Though it's really hard and sadistic I can't recommend it to everybody, it was also a bit too much violence for me in it, but maybe this gave the movie it's atmosphere this kind of shocking violence.
