Inbred (2011)

Too much of everything

Pretty Good

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

This was another Horror Channel late night feature. Horror Channel can be a bit hit and miss, but occasionally you get a few nice, low budget British horror ('Stalled' is a good example of a super low budget Brit horror that they've shown and was a pleasant surprise).I started out quite happy, as it had legendary UK Scream Queen Emily Booth in the opening scenes. Sadly, this was just a brief cameo.It's your standard issue cannibal-hillbilly-gang-hunts-kills-and eats-dumb-kids gorefest, just set in Yorkshire rather than the woods of West Virginia, and it's crap.If you've ever seen League of Gentlemen, you'll immediately see this is a rip off of the villagers of Royston Vasey (they even use the 'you can never leave' line and blatant use of Papa Lazarou's black face and outfit).They used a fair bit of expensive CGI together with old school effects and the deaths by horse and muck spreader were quite creative, but the kids and social workers in peril were irritating and so you don't really care if they live or die. If you want a semi decent British horror about young offenders in peril, go watch 'Wilderness' instead. It's not perfect, but it's 'Casablanca' compared to this.You might dig it if you're absolutely wasted on home brewed vodka, just make sure it's not just watered down pee.Even 'Wrong Turn 6' was better than this, and that was abysmal.

At first glance you get a few flat cliché characters, such as a hilarious "British bully"-type guy, a shy emo girl, an adult man who can't get the kids in control and tries to connect with them to no avail... It's not too bad the chemistry of the characters, but certainly not the best, it does the job to keep the plot watchable until the real stuff we came to watch starts.Anyways those characters encounter some problems, you've seen it in countless other movies - GPS loses their location (which was realistic because I had a similar experience the one time I visited the UK and had to drive slightly out of London) - phones get lost somewhere, the locals are sketchy. Convenient!But after a long and boring beginning and bland character backstory introduction and interaction - the fun begins. And I tell ya, there's quite a few laughs in that movie, the ending part made it worth watching trough all the boring stuff - no question about it. I won't spoil the fun, but fun it is.If you enjoy dark humor - this is pretty good! They could have gotten a bit more creative and in-depth with the kills, but were still quite out of the box to an extent.So if you fancy some gore and a few laughs - you should check it out. Feel free to skip trough to the fun stuff - as the rest is just filler that doesn't really add anything to the experience.

Four troubled teens and two caseworkers head to a remote area in the English countryside for a weekend of team building and scrap metal salvaging. An unfortunate incident with the locals leads to an accident, which leads to a misunderstanding, which leads to murder and worse.I love my inbred killer movies and I love my small town with a secret movies but I did not love Inbred. Nothing much happens until 40 minutes in and then the movie decides to be utterly bizarre for a while and give us a vaudeville performance with kills rather than going straight for the jugular. I couldn't help be reminded of the family show in House of 1000 Corpses and how that sequence dragged down the pacing just like the show here (although there's a very excellent bizarre kill in the first "act").We finally get through this part of the film and things move on quickly for a bit of survival horror with some decent gore and dark humor but by then it was a case of too little too late for me. I liked the main group of good guys and there was some effective gore but I spent too much time being bored and not enough being entertained.

I knew that this would not be a good film when 2 minutes passed and we already had some cliché, as the GPS stopped working, though cellphones did not. At first characters were a little washed, but I was hoping for them to develop later. That did not occur, with some very minor exceptions, the characters, especially the young ones, were all the same, except for the differences in sex and colour. The woman, who plays the role of the female social worker, did indeed have time to develop a little bit her character,and could get a point more. The rest as the story, is nonsense, an a slayer and torture film, a la Saw, so, if you are into this type of films, you can go and rent it, you will not be disappointed. Otherwise, skip it.
