Inbred (2011)

Load of rubbish!!

Highly Overrated But Still Good

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I dated a girl from North Yorkshire for a while and, let me tell you, the alleged local characters in this film are a lot more civilized and sophisticated than the real inhabitants of that region! Just kidding, of course, Yorkshire people are very nice and the city of York itself is a highly recommended place to visit. What we have here is a straightforward and unmistakable UK-version of "2000 Maniacs", and thus another umpteenth gory horror flick dealing with deranged, bloodthirsty and drooling hillbillies slaughtering a bunch of (somewhat) innocent people unfortunate enough to be passing through the village. I promised myself I wouldn't be watching derivative horror flicks like these for a while, but I seem to be drawn to them like flies to; - you know. "Inbred" is the type of film that exactly does what it promises on the tin, and in case you expected anything more, else or better, you only have yourself to blame. The film still starts off rather slow and tedious, with overlong and too detailed introductions of lead characters you know are going to die violently anyways, but once around the 45' mark, "Inbred" is an unrelentingly engrossing and trashy splatter flick. Four juvenile delinquents and their two counsellors are on a reform trip up in Northern Yorkshire. They deserve everything what's coming to them, since nobody should be as dumb to rent a cabin in a village called "Mortlake" or visit the local tavern that is named "The Dirty Hole". After being served lemonade that tastes like urine (it probably is urine) and hairy pork scratchings, the young thugs run into trouble with the locals and all hell breaks loose. If you're a fan of gore & filth, you simply must appreciate most of the butchering in "Inbred". The hicks, joyously led by hyperactive Seamus O'Neill, murder some of their victims live on stage during a sort of freaky circus show and there's plenty of bloodshed via shotguns, speeding vans, landmines and bear traps. The CGI isn't always convincing, but the gore certainly is extreme and repulsive! The mandatory banjo-music and folklore songs are naturally present as well, and the ending is much bleaker and nihilistic than I expected. Writer/director Alex Chandon will obviously never win any major film awards, but "Inbred" at least proves that he has enormously developed already since "Cradle of Fear" in 2001. That film was gross and sickening too, but even more dumb, amateurish and annoying. Recommended, but not whilst you're eating!

I watched this film based on the trailer and perhaps the trailer ruined it for me. Most of the kills are shown in the trailer so there weren't much new to see in the film. The kills are few and far spaced out in between each other with the longest dry spot happens soon after the first two murdered victims. Because of this, the film doesn't build any kind of momentum and the dialog feels monotonous, the whole film was very sluggish for me. The comedy is dim-witted and not very funny. Having said that, the special effects and methods of the kills are very good, gory and creative, but not enough to make up for what seem to be an arduous viewing. If this film came up on cable TV, I would tell a friend to shut off the television and just go for a walk outside.

First off, I'd like to say that all those hating this movie shouldn't be watching horrors in the first place, and you are mostly missing quite a bit of intelligence. To write a review on a gore fest and say "eww, it's gross, I cried to my mommy", you must need some kind of brain surgery to sort your weird bonce out. Secondly, to the rest of you pundit wannabes who think using big words makes you just as clever as an official reviewer... well how dull! I'm going to review it like an average intelligence bloke from the pub.So I was very pleasantly surprised to find an excellently acted, pretty decently scripted, cheap horror for a change. The 5.1/10 or whatever it is doesn't do it justice whatsoever when you compare it with all those higher rated classic jobs from the 70's/80's by Italian gore maestros who's scripts, plots, acting and dubbing is hilariously tragic compared with talented films like this one. For example Demons, 6.7/10 it's rated and is one of the worst pieces of sh*t on screen I've ever seen.So yeah, effects were awesome, only one point did I notice the CGI otherwise wouldn't have known it wasn't all furrealz. Fully recommended to any gore fan.

I'm saying 6 because it's not a GREAT movie, but for it's genre, it should get an 8. This is what Rob Zombie wishes his movies looked like. I actually sat down and watched it start to finish, which rarely happens. Lots of "awful" humor, which is actually funny, and just enough disturbing things to make you comfortable. It's one of those films where you can't be sure you know where it's going, and then it goes where you knew it would go, but then it takes a turn and then it's back to where you knew where it was going again. It's no masterpiece but it's great for what it is. Give it a look-see, you'll like it.
