4.0 out of 5 stars Creepy and Unique, July 10, 2009

This review is from: Plague Town (DVD)

First I have to say that I wasn't bored while watching "Plague Town" it held my interest and had some very creepy,scary moments in it.
It was reminiscent of "Wicked Little Things "from the first batch of 8 films to die for.
"Plague Town" was somewhat original but it's not like kids haven't been used many times in the past to frighten or shock audiences, a few good examples being "The Bad Seed","The Good Son" and "Who Can Kill a Child",It's the brutality and shock value of using something that personifies innocence,hope and goodness that gives shock value to a film like this and others that portray children as "monsters".
The film used very dim lighting in places and that didn't really bother me because it lent to the dark feel of the film.There were quite a few grisly scenes but they let you see just enough to let you know what happened and just enough to let you're imagination run wild as well.
The character of Rosemary was particularly creepy and well played.Her bug eyed look very disturbing.
all in all I would recommend it to a horror slasher fan.
It's interesting and somewhat unique but I still like "The Children" better as far as killer kid flicks go.

3.0 out of 5 stars A fresh retelling of the maniacs in the woods story, November 8, 2009

This review is from: Plague Town (DVD)

I enjoyed this movie. In short, a family is on a holiday-like event in (presumably) Britain, then get stranded only to find themselves hunted by a rather large extended family of mutated humans. The movie does a good job of maintaining an eerie mood throughout, with good suspense and well crafted horror scenes. The advertised story speaks of substantial gore, but I didn't find it that way. I am not a particular fan of gore, and found the amount shown generally agreeable and not gore for gore's sake. The acting was pretty good, and the production values high. The film was, however, shot (at least the day scenes) with a blue filter, which takes a particular skill level to employ effectively. Overall, a worthy rental.

Plague Town (David Gregory, 2008)

I sometimes wonder what the guys who write movies like this are thinking, and why they decide to do it. You take a dash from movie A, a dash from movie B, and paste them onto the structure of movie C. You make no changes, you don't deviate from the formula, and it should be no surprise that you end up with derivative crap. And yet movie after movie just like this gets pumped out year after year, and with the advent of direct-to-video about twenty years ago, the number of movies put together just like this exploded. I've seen hundreds of them, but you have to dig through a lot of swine to find the real pearls. Plague Town is swine through and through.

Plot: ever-so-typical dysfunctional family heads to Ireland to try and reconnect with its roots, and maybe heal their wounds in the process. Our intrepid group consists of dad, Jerry (Follow the Broccoli's David Lombard); stepmom, Annette (Enjoy Yourself's Lindsay Goranson); and two sisters, older Jessica (18-Year-Old Virgin's Erica Rhodes), who's picked up a local boyfriend, Robin (In Flanders Fields' James Warke) along the way, and younger Molly (Brutal Massacre: A Comedy's Josslyn DeCrosta). They wander the countryside after being dropped off by a bus, looking for... something. They end up in the wrong, wrong place, however--a village full of evil, deformed children who love nothing more than trapping and torturing unwary travelers. Though they have something very, very different in mind for the sisters...

Yes, you've seen it all before. Take the bones of Village of the Damned and drape them with trappings from Eternal and every Lifetime Original Movie drama about dysfunctional families ever made and you've got the idea here. Needless to say, familiarity not only breeds contempt, but predictability as well. Why bother renting this one? The synopsis will give you all you need to know to rent better-made movies with the same basic ideas. * ½
