Too much of everything

Don't listen to the negative reviews

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This is truly awful film, genuinely torturous viewing. A bona fide 1 out of 10 film and that's only because '0' isn't an option. I won't describe the plot again, plenty have done that already and I don't want to think about this film more than I have to.The comedy aspects aren't remotely funny, there is no tension, no suspense, no excitement, pants cgi, poor production values, I could go on.It's not even so bad it's good, it's so bad it's painful.There is nothing redeeming about this film.I will allow the film 1 out of 10 because the film-makers,on a low budget, at least had a go at it - they failed.I was the only person that managed to sit through it until the end - the other viewers left my lounge - it didn't even have enough about it for them to watch and ridicule how bad it was!I am now two hours closer to the end of my life and these film-makers are responsible for that wasted time.Possibly the worst film I have ever seen and I generally enjoy watching B-Movie junk. How anyone can give this anything other than 2/10 I can't comprehend - I can only assume that they have suffered a traumatic head injury or a lobotomy.

This film was shown late night on a multi channel in UK.. and once I saw the first few minutes, I was hooked. Its a shame the first page of reviews contain the bad ones... the second page has some more favourable. Fact is.. there ARE parts of many counties in England where.. some families aren't the 'norm'... off the beaten track. I found this film so well made, yes, the credits make you realise there wasn't a large cast, it was shot locally to them.. four years to make and they paid for it, well.. no surprises there BUT.. all the work was good? I loved the humour.. I don't mind gore.. I'm turned 60 now and a film buff since before Kubricks 2001.. and THIS film kept me up. I didn't know what was going to happen.. you cant know. Yes.. some miss-fit cross bred yokels.. good/bad do they know any better.. as the film goes on.. yes.. a family.. drawn together in a bid to survive almost. BUT.. the visitors.. interesting. IS 'helmet' one of the goodies or baddies. Young cast.. so is Daddy the director? Fine.. amateur but well done.. Kept me up until about 6am. I'll watch it again, but may get the DVD for the extras.. so its a little gory.. slasher..but very funny in parts. You cannot guess the end. So, where is Ringwood..

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.

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.
