medusamyth41 Four friends decide to hop on their bikes and go travelling. They decide to camp in a field. Andy spots a caravan and starts kicking at it. He also breaks the back window and reaches in to get a can of spray paint. He spray paints the words Pity Scum on the caravan. He then looks in the back window and sees what seems to be a dead body. Turns out not being a dead body but a female who is asleep. She must of been wearing ear plugs (too funny). She never heard the kicks or the sound of breaking glass.And it all goes downhill from there. The good guys are chased by the bad guys. Then one of the good guys becomes a bad guy. And some of the bad guys become friends with the good guys and so forth.I got bored very quickly with this movie. Please do not waste your time watching this movie.
Silly_Sausage_69 Travellers has just entered into the list of the top 10 worst films so far ever viewed. 1. The scenario makes no sense. 2. When it rains no one gets wet, not even the ground. 3. The 'psycho city boy' is unbelievable. 4. The romance between Dan and the gypsy chick is tainted with puerile vacuous nonsense. 6. How can anyone box for that long....? 7. This film does'nt deserve 10 lines of critic. 8. They don't know how to make the blood look realistic...9. The sound was no good. 10. I wonder if real gypsies were consulted into the making of this film... Let's not waste anymore time about this failure. On par with 'Adrift'...Well done with the low budget they had though.
atsalter having enquired how much this film cost to make, I am amazed it got onto the screen at all.If Kris McManus can make a film like this on his budget, what does the future hold?? Yep, it was a bit wobbly at the start, but the cameo appearance of Charlie Boorman can't have hurt, a gesture for which I admire him, there can't have been much money in it for him! Some of the scenes were so absorbing that you completely forgot what the quality lacked. Violent, yes, but not gratuitously so. I found the screenplay excellent, and rather more convincing than some of the high budget, convoluted stuff you can see. I thought the atmosphere of the film was brilliantly achieved. The threatening seediness of the bare knuckle boxing scene had me on the edge of my seat. The hairs stood up on my neck when the "Pikeys" appeared to do justice to the bikers who had defaced their caravan. Slow start perhaps, but it amply repays perseverance. The camera quality wasn't that great, but the cameraman had enough skill to compensate to a large degree.To my great surprise, I was really impressed.
Callum87 Straight off the bat 'Travellers' is a cheap looking and sounding affair. If that isn't your bag then save your time watching. If you can't see this was shot on digital video from the off then you probably need glasses. Should that ruin your enjoyment? No... But the weaker parts of the script, inconsistent acting from some of the players and occasional plot hole may.However, stick with it. If these guys made this with nothing they certainly end it with something, something good.The second half of this movie had me glued to the seat. I'd got used to the shaky cam style and low quality audio and by the time the fight sequence kicks off (one of the best fight sequences I've seen in UK film for a long time) this film makes some impact.The fight itself is expertly handled, no silly Guy Ritchie over stylisation or edits so tight that lose the geography of the scene. This was straight, smacks to the face. The authenticity of the fight seemed spot on, and very real, to a point where I questioned if moments weren't?The Travellers are handled stereotypically at first but to good effect, as horror villains then their characters slowly pulled back, showing a much more complex sense of honour and brotherhood within their group. You will route for them before the end. This is guaranteed by the behaviour of city- boy nut case Andy Baxtor, played well by Tom Geoffrey.The lead, former gypsy turned city-boy Chris (Shane Sweeney) is a likable character despite his buried desire to hit people, and is also performed well and subtly despite the scripts sledge-hammer approach to story telling.It's the the brother and sister act of Traveller Martin (Dean Jagger) and his sister Lucy (Celia Muir) who steal the show. Considering the mixed bag of talent on screen its a small blessing they had these actors holding it together. The screen presence of Jagger is captivating.Director Kris McManus holds it all together and really gains control of his movie during act 3.I expect this lot are new to film-making, and it shows at times, but I hope they continue to do what there doing. just maybe spend a little more time and a lot more money!I'd give this a better rating if the production value had been just a little higher. Worth a watch.*****
