Watch The Locals For Free

The Worst Film Ever

Thanks for the memories!

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

If only because, in this movie,you are told that you are allowed not to praise "lord of the rings" (the movies) to the skies ,it had to be made. It will certainly not go down in fantasy and horror movies history but it's made with care and respect for the audience ,with special effects kept to the minimum.The screenplay mixes living dead with vampire curses and manages to remain interesting throughout.The story takes place in the space of one night and is rather short so you won't have time to get bored .The exhumation is particularly frightening.Even the aerial shots ,at the beginning and at the end ,make sense.Of course ,there is the city boys/country bumpkins cliché which is as old as the hills (remember "2,000 maniacs" in the sixties or "texas chainsaw massacre " in the seventies) ,but it's the rule of the game.

If Hollywood had made this movie (and smoothed out some hitches that presumably came with a low budget) the critics may well have been raving about it. In many ways it could have been another 'The Others'.Most of the acting is quite acceptable for a low budget horror movie; the photography is very well done and the script itself is ambitious and doesn't miss by much, which is saying something. Some of the foreshadowing is top notch.Either way well worth watching and miles ahead of so much Hollywood horror pap!As ghost stories go this was relatively original and will be appreciated by those looking for something different.

Not many Americans like films from outside the States, but THE LOCALS is one worth looking all over for. Sure its low budget but the story line is brilliant and will leave you guessing up into the very end. THE LOCALS is in a way like LOST if you miss a beat you will go into a tailspin. Greg Page does not say the full story at once but it is up to the viewer to make the connections before the end, if you succeed, congratulations, if not by the end you will. I found THE LOCALS to be more of a thriller rather then horror, I did not fear for my life or hide under a bed but it kept me on my toes. I did get connected with the characters, and felt badly for them, wanting them to get out of the Zone before something bad happened. I will be hunting night and day for Greg Page's next movie, and as a filmmaker he has given me new outlook on how to make a brilliant low budget movie sill fascinating,

Nice little Horror/Thriller from New Zealand that's a cross between the underrated "Dead And Buried" and "The Sixth Sense." It's a lot of fun with a twist ending. This is not standard fare like many other films that are set up from this kind of premise or if you read over the movie description. It really delivers in places despite a modest and small budget. Barker & Cameron play a likable pair of friends that go out to find a party and get more than they bargained for when they run into a pair of pretty gals. The friendship that they have shows throughout the film and you really root for them. The DVD has a VERY entertaining commentary by director/writer Greg Page. He is a riot. A nice surprise that's not perfect but an independent horror film shouldn't be. However, it's a rental that I'm glad I took a chance on. Check it out.
