Let me tell you, this movie had to be the worst movie I have seen in a long time. it was no "bog body" roaming around killing. It actually looked like Popeye the Sailor. My suggestion to all is to steer totally away from this Vinnie Jones flop. Pick up either The Condemned or The Midnight Meat Train instead. Way better movies. Sorry Vinnie it just plain sucked!!!!! This would have got a zero star rating if I could have done it.

This was a funny movie! At least a half dozen times, I laughed so hard, I could barely breathe. Three groups of two people end up in the same small cabin or shack. You have people talk about death stories, one taxi driver guy saying "he was driving some girl somewhere, got mad because she didn't have the money, so he threw her out. Then 40 miles later, he hears this thumping. It was her, being dragged along the side of the car. he said, I guess her coat got stuck when he closed the door. HAH AHAH! How can you get your coat caught in the door, and not open the door or tell the driver, who by the way, is the one who opened the door to throw her out, to say, hey, don't go, I am caught.
The hunter saying, I tried to protect this guy, then at the next frame you see the flashback of him shooting the guy, HAHA HAHA!! FUNNY film. Oh my, what a funny show. You have to make fun of it. It's the only way to enjoy it. Many more funny moments.
Well worth the one dollar rental at Red Box.

A comedy-horror film from Ireland.
Mr. Hunter (Vinnie Jones) is on the hunt for a man-creature who speaks like Eegah (1962). Hunter gets him, but their are more. Another man-creature bites his leg, but he cuts his hand off. He gives it back to the man-creature in the bog.
These 2000-year old bodies are usually found in the bogs of Ireland and Denmark.
Two construction men (Michael Collins, Paul Valentine) tell Miss Leary (Shelly Goldstein) that being bog land, the ground is too soft to build her houses on. They just found another mummified bog person. She doesn't care. She wants her land of real estate finished.
Two women, Hannah (Amy Huberman) and Mallory (Olga Wehrly) are lost in the bog land and comes across an isolated house.
Back at the construction site, the bog body begins to rejuvenate and new skin is formed as the body becomes alive. Now a muscular man-creature, (Adam Fogerty), but on the prey to kill. He needs fresh water.
Miss Leary and Deano (Gavin Kelty), the taxi driver get stuck in the bog land and also come across the isolated house.
Saiorse (Nora-Jane Noone) is a curator and David Wallace (Jason Barry) is an archealogist surveying the bog land and trying to find the lost kingdoms. as they are driving, the car hits a cow. Wondering around lost (you guessed it!) they also find the isolated house with the others.
It's too late for any of them to start walking at this time of day, so they decide to stay the night.

Really, thought this movie was silly, however, the film being from Ireland and I am an American who is Scotch-Irish by ancestry, I found the movie intriguing. The Irish have their legends too.
Nice cinematography. Filmed in and around Dublin, Ireland.

Also known as: Assault of Darkness (2009), Bog Body (2009).

I assume the midget circus clown is named "Bobo" and the actor is MJ Junior.

This is one of the worst movies I have seen in a long time . Stay away from this low budget crap . It is no worth 1 star . Waste of money and time .

This movie was made in Ireland with a very , very low budget. At least it was shot on film and the actors are all decent. But it's budget is so small that the bog body drinks water and reforms into a huge guy who then kills people. Supposedly the victims all did terrible things and the bog wants them. The bog people were usually sacrifice victims that were killed for various reasons. the Celtic people did this from about 1,000 B.C. or so until around 200 A.D. or so. Some people think that they were from the same tribes , but I personally believe that most of them were from rival tribes usually. In this movie a hunter is going around killing the risen bog people , only some of them are recent dead people , this is not explained and the whole idea of them out there is wasted because the movie is mainly about one ancient bog victim who is hunting the cast down. One of which is a awful american woman who is nasty and the epitomy of the rude arrogant stereotype that some people see all Americans. There are a few like her though and they could be any Nationality; they are just ruthless bosses. Sadly we are even denied seeing her get her punishment in any real detail. The whole flick is mainly about the one bog person and his hunting of people. It's just an ok movie at best , it could have been worse though. But it will leave zombie fans none too happy I fear as the dead look alive completely.

This low budget movie has plenty of beautiful scenery, but has a truly dopey villain in the supposed bog man who comes back to life for no apparent reason and starts killing people. I almost wanted to turn the sound off and just watch the images of rolling hills and lush forests.

Well, it wasn't THAT bad. But not that good either. I just happen to like Vinnie Jones. Plus it's pretty cool to see the then, future WWE Champion Sheamus in something other than wrestling.

If you loved watching bad movies with someone who looks like Toj Johnson, try this one out. The movie never really got scary, unless you are a midget clown. The bog monster isn't frightening and the shower scene was rated G. I will say that the people in this movie tended to be have more character than in normal one star productions. The rude American was almost funny at times, calling the cab driver, "McDuff, Gilligan and Darby O' Gill." There seems to be a lot of cows on the road in Ireland. More comedy than horror.
