Woodyanders Three travelers -- amiable Jon (a solid and likable turn by Greg Martin), his plucky pregnant wife Susan (a winningly spunky portrayal by the fetching Hannah Flint), and crafty and resourceful teenager Marcus (an excellent and engaging performance by Simon Stanley-Ward) -- find themselves trapped in the remote rural community of Grockleton, where the evil The Landlord (marvelously essayed with lip-smacking sinister relish by Chris R. Wright) forces them to participate in a brutal hunt with the deranged local yokels. Director Peter Stanley-Ward, who also co-wrote the pleasingly loopy and tongue-in-cheek script with Natalie Conway, treats the familiar premise like a dark contemporary fairytale, ably creates and sustains a playfully creepy atmosphere, delivers a handy helping of grisly gore, and further spices things up with a wickedly funny sense of hysterically gonzo pitch-black humor. Better still, Stanley-Ward allows a deliciously dry, droll, and utterly idiosyncratic deadpan English wit to run gloriously amok throughout, thus not only giving this movie an extra substantial nutty buzz, but also providing a peculiar distinction that ensures that this sure ain't your run-of-the-mill killer hicks in the sticks flick. The redneck psychos are a colorfully grotesque bunch: Dan Palmer as infantile, gas-guzzling geek Dobbin, Jan Nicholas as the gruff Pooch, and Ben Richards as monstrous hulking freak Pike. Warwick Davis has a neat small part as the foreboding Knackerman #2. Peter Stanley-Ward's gaudy cinematography makes funky use of green screen and gives the film a gnarly stylized look. Good twisted fun.
Stig Even Johannessen I'm writing this review to warn my fellow human beings. This is in all honesty the absolute worst film I have ever seen in my entire life.I am all for cheesy horror flicks and B-movies, but come on, there has to be drawn a line somewhere, and that line is LONG before this movie.The acting is really horrible, but the thing that bothers me the most is the overall quality of the production. first of all, the music. It's almost none existent for the exception of a couple of tunes now and then. the sets, if you can call them sets are a bunch of green-screen footage, were you can literally see the lines, its so bad. Even scenes from inside the house is green screened.Whatever you do, do not waste your time watching this horrible piece of film making. Save your money.1/10, if I could I'd give it a 0/10.
aaronmocksing1987 They said this movie would be the absurdity that is Terry Gilliam if he took acid and wrote a horror movie. I'm saddened to say that this movie doesn't quite feel like that, and that's probably a punch in the gut to me considering the review came from Canada. This is the kind of movie that is more like... if Benny Hill took cocaine, filmed a pornography, and let Quentin Tarantino swap parts of the filming arrangements with Uwe Boll. From here, it would be vomited on and possibly shat on with several homeless people in the editing room, where they spliced themselves into it.To be honest, I don't know what the hell is going on with this movie. It's supposed to be a British version of 'The Crazies' with some 'Hills Have Eyes' and some Rob Zombie sprinkled on, but in the end, I see nothing funny or scary.If these people want to make a horror movie, I suggest you go back to school and learn something. Because this is pretty stupid.
FightOwensFight It's true, I have quite the inclination for b-movies. Just like every genre or budget, there are the gems and the duds. 'Small Town Folk' falls in the former... It's true I just can't get enough. I actually bought this film just because of the box, I know - never judge a book by it's cover, and have watched it 3 times already. 'Small Town Folk' is bad... but it's so bad that its good... not just bad, bad - which I know makes a lot of sense to some of you.What makes this film so intriguing is the characters, the costumes, and believe it or not the cinematography... Yes it's actually done quite well. The acting is, of course, atrocious... but if the movie took itself seriously then we wouldn't have ourselves a shining little diamond in the rough, a cult classic if you will.The premise is simple and fun... Two lovers on holiday are looking for an adventure... Of course the find it, in a small village that no one would want to be stranded in. When the small town folk find out that the female is pregnant, they take much interest because the baby would mean another edition into their blood thirsty, dirty hick stricken village... And who wouldn't want that?A lot of people will hate this film, but those who have a deep appreciation for the bad will see 'Small Town Folk' for what it is... A bloody & entertaining ride into the deep depths of terrible cinema.
