Small Town Folk Trailers

High above the tiny hamlet of Grockleton stands Beesley Manor, home to the ominous Landlord and his...shall we say, genetically ambiguent...minions, including Pooch, a cross-eyed marksman, and Dobbin, who likes to drink gasoline. The Landlord keeps a watchful eye over his domain, brutally dispatching any strangers who enter - except for females he needs to (involuntarily) sire a Beesley heir...When three unsuspecting travelers arrive, the Landlord plans to make two of them his trophies and the other his bride...unless they can beat him at his own game.

This movie was so awful I went on my laptop ten minutes in to write this review. The acting was bad, the plot was bad, and the footage is nothing but killers running after victims while making confusing comments in between.The first half hour is nothing but close-ups of their face. The camera is practically shoved into their face. Even in a conversation, they'd have nothing but shots of their face. Even if they were running, they'd have shots of their face, a 2 second shot of their back, then back again to freakishly close shots of their face.You can't even rely on the gore in the movie, because most of it isn't shown, and if it is, it looks so fake, there's no way you can get scared.In the first part of the film, it was so obvious they used green screen. The lines were blurred, the scenes looked fake, it was like I was watching a Disney movie. Except I would have rather watched a Disney.An hour in, and the movie was still playing. By this time, no one was watching except me so I can make an accurate review. At this point, it's nothing but running, violence that's not really violence, screaming and hitting.You'd have to completely pay attention to this movie in order to understand what it's about but it's hard to even watch it for ten minutes.This movie was so bad, I would have called it a comedy if not for the fact that it was put in the horror section of the movie rentals. Except, even the humour sucked so either way, it's a bad comedy and a bad horror film.

Jon and Susan are on their way to a holiday vacation when they get lost and find themselves in the small town of Grockleton despite two peculiar brothers the couple stops to ask directions from warn them against it. While there, the Beesley clan led by the sinister Landlord wish to keep the family name going, but they need a female to accomplish that. Enter the hapless couple who decide to spend the night at Beesley Manor on the hill. Elsewhere, Marcus (teased with the nickname helmet because of the ever-present helmet on his head) seeks out to become an unlikely hero. Oh yeah and the Beesley's also kill guy and kidnap any woman who dares set foot on their land in this low-budget horror/comedy/fantasy film.The film is slightly likable enough if it's story is fairly generic, but the humor, which is of the hit or miss variety, is slightly more of the latter. Many of the people involved with the earlier and better "Freak Out" are involved in this one, i'd recommend you seek out that film instead as it's more fully realized and funnier. Although this one does have it's moments as well, as few and far between as those might be. Further the sheer abundance of green-screen in the movie became a tad of an eyesore before too long.My Grade: C- DVD Extras: Commentary by cast & crew; 'Folk Tales' a making-of featurette with bonus music video (30 minutes); and trailers for Kitchen Privileges, Ghost Son, Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror, & Blood Ranch

This film is a delightful low bedget fest which looks as though a load of mates got together to make it which is what more people should do-the plot I add is virtually a no brainer-but I loved the really echoey sound of the dwarf as he clambered the shoulders outside-for a moment I thought do you sound echoey in the West country? and I loved the bit in the pig shed with the dark whatever he was. When I saw how they did it in the extras I was impressed. One of the cast took time out to write to me-good egg-, the scenery lush, the mixing up of time of day scenes to cherish with a smile-this may be a cult movie in a few years time, its so bad, at the same time its lovable for the sheer effort inolved in putting it together.

This will be one of the biggest wastes of time, it will annoy you and you will regret your decision. I can't think of another reason someone would produce this pile of s--- unless they were just sadistic, talentless freaks with too much money or time on their hands.I kept waiting for some kind of twist or plot development that would make it worth watching and it never happened.It's starts out with some promise, or inklings that their may be something good coming.. BUT IT NEVER HAPPENS.It gets worse and worse and worse as the movie goes, right up until the end when you realize you will never get the time back that you lost watching it.There is NOTHING REDEEMING ABOUT THIS MOVIE.
