A group of idiots go into the desert hills to party, drink, and smoke pot, not knowing that these hills have cannibal rednecks living in them in this "Hills Have Eyes" clone that only the Asylum can make. The Asylum is widely regarded as being heavily synonymous was complete and utter crap, and with good reason as most, if not all, of their films are practically unwatchable, this one being no exception. Personally, I'm glad that of all these Asylum abominations that I've seen, I haven't paid for any of them (well OK yeah I have indirectly through Netflix & premium cable but I digress) Not.worth your times, money or loss of sanity to watch this.

English are from England; Scots are from Scotland; Welsh are from Wales. They're all from Britain. The British Isles include Ireland and all the little islands that don't already belong to Iceland or Norway or are independent or want to be independent or are disputed and who, outside of the locals, cares? So no, not an English urban legend but reviewer did identify Bean as Scottish first. If the legend had been widespread in Britain, then a British urban legend - that is, if the locale had been urban, which it wasn't.But it wasn't either wide-spread or urban so it's just a local Galloway story of dubious origin.Final point: who, outside of a neurotic Woody Allen character, gives a damn? From the reviews, this is a schlock movie and schlock movies are exempt from any kind of accuracy: historical, territorial, scriptural, motivational or common sense - that's what makes the good ones entertaining, like a Road Runner cartoon.

I love loads of horror films, and a rather wide variety, my favorites are stylized with a creepy atmosphere, but I can enjoy a film on gore alone if well done with a decently creepy premise or killer. This film, I wanted so badly to enjoy, but it was garbage, and most of the time I can find something to enjoy in films most consider trash. There's sadly nothing here. Its supposed to be about the legend of Sawney Bean, the head of an incestuous cannibalistic clan who lived in caves along the shores of Scotland over 400 years ago. What we have is a badly acted film with gore effects I literally have done better for Halloween costumes, with no real story to speak of. The cannibals barely do more than grunt and act like cave men, which is wrong. No one has a Scottish accent, the caves seem to be in the desert, plus its set in modern day, but sawney bean is supposed to still be alive and no explanation is given as to why. The actual legend of Sawney Bean is very creepy and great fodder for a horror film so why they decided to make this film without using ANY of the legend outside of the name sawney bean and cannibals living in a cave is beyond me. Texas Chainsaw Massacre part FOUR was better than this. If any real effort was put into making this film by its crew, thats very very pathetic as to what they were able to create. Disjointed, badly made, no plot drivel. There's really nothing here for even the most lenient critic to enjoy.Someone should properly make the Sawney Bean story into a film as that would actually be something to see, if done well.

Cannibalism is not the subject of idle chit-chat. Really liked the effects, set and bad guys in this Theasylum flick. Tom(Bill)Nagel is the only victim ,I had apathy for
Being a fomer carpal tunnel patient, My hands hurt almost as much as Toms. Vaz(Callum) Andreas had the most scenes to emote in, If you could while munching on co-stars. Leigh(Sawney)Scott had the kewlest role as leader on stilts and why not when your also the director. Tom(Towart)Downey, Hey they didn't list you in IMDb& we interviewed before, Has the most fun as the Big Brother with a gimmick. Louis(Sheriff)Graham was even more disturbing then as the neighbor in When A Killer Calls, For shame on you sir. Erica(Rhian) Roby has the required T & A scene and is as pretty as she is hungry. The ending freaked me, And not in a good way
Whatever happened to happy endings Where ,oh, where is MICHAEL BERRYMAN ???
