Watch Inbred For Free

That was an excellent one.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I dated a girl from North Yorkshire for a while and, let me tell you, the alleged local characters in this film are a lot more civilized and sophisticated than the real inhabitants of that region! Just kidding, of course, Yorkshire people are very nice and the city of York itself is a highly recommended place to visit. What we have here is a straightforward and unmistakable UK-version of "2000 Maniacs", and thus another umpteenth gory horror flick dealing with deranged, bloodthirsty and drooling hillbillies slaughtering a bunch of (somewhat) innocent people unfortunate enough to be passing through the village. I promised myself I wouldn't be watching derivative horror flicks like these for a while, but I seem to be drawn to them like flies to; - you know. "Inbred" is the type of film that exactly does what it promises on the tin, and in case you expected anything more, else or better, you only have yourself to blame. The film still starts off rather slow and tedious, with overlong and too detailed introductions of lead characters you know are going to die violently anyways, but once around the 45' mark, "Inbred" is an unrelentingly engrossing and trashy splatter flick. Four juvenile delinquents and their two counsellors are on a reform trip up in Northern Yorkshire. They deserve everything what's coming to them, since nobody should be as dumb to rent a cabin in a village called "Mortlake" or visit the local tavern that is named "The Dirty Hole". After being served lemonade that tastes like urine (it probably is urine) and hairy pork scratchings, the young thugs run into trouble with the locals and all hell breaks loose. If you're a fan of gore & filth, you simply must appreciate most of the butchering in "Inbred". The hicks, joyously led by hyperactive Seamus O'Neill, murder some of their victims live on stage during a sort of freaky circus show and there's plenty of bloodshed via shotguns, speeding vans, landmines and bear traps. The CGI isn't always convincing, but the gore certainly is extreme and repulsive! The mandatory banjo-music and folklore songs are naturally present as well, and the ending is much bleaker and nihilistic than I expected. Writer/director Alex Chandon will obviously never win any major film awards, but "Inbred" at least proves that he has enormously developed already since "Cradle of Fear" in 2001. That film was gross and sickening too, but even more dumb, amateurish and annoying. Recommended, but not whilst you're eating!

There may have been some potential for a more understated and tasteful film here, like the also British based 'Straw Dogs' or 'The Wicker Man'. Alas, it went for the 'torture porn' thing and had dubious politics. Mix this with shoddy writing, acting, and technical production, and you have a real stinker. I'm not really into the 'Saws' and 'Hostels' of this world, but they at least were slickly created. The film felt nasty, tawdry and gratuitous, which is not always a damning problem for a horror movie. It is trying to create horror, after all. To make for staying power, this however needs to be balanced with some social commentary or morality, and 'Inbred' does not do it (well, the name would suggest this). What you get instead is a rather racist portrayal of Yorkshire and the countryside in general. The antagonists are written off as freaks, which just appears dismissive of mental illness and disability. What you should do is get inside the antagonists' personal motivations - them simply doing bad things because they are 'inbred' is reactionary and not good enough. The ending lacks morality also.There are some odd traditions up North and in rural England, some involving plays or parades with blacked up (not to resemble black people, incidentally) characters. There was some mileage in that concept - but they just squandered it. Avoid like those social workers and kids really should have done.

Ha! I've been to Yorkshire loads of times and have only been chopped up by yokels a couple of times. The rest of the time it's been lovely. Good food! But now after watching this I think I might have ate human flesh a couple of times.Four annoying teenagers and two social workers head off to some backward town in Yorkshire for some reason and quickly realise that the residents are a bit Royston Vasey (the League of Gentleman is a BIG influence on this film). So what started out as a group exercise quickly turns into a total gore fest as our non-locals try to escape being forced into one of the sickest 'shows' you'll ever see.Honestly, this is one of those 'folks being carved up by locals' films, but with a healthy does of British sarcasm! That guy you see with the twitch and chainsaw? That's Paddy from soap opera Emmerdale! Points for that! And he's great! The outsiders go up against the local and it's literally an explosion of blood and guts, folks are cut in half, have their heads blown off, are stamped by horses, and one guy is forced full of cow crap until he explodes! This film is mental and without the humour may not have worked, but it worked for me! Paddy also made a zombie film...I'm well tracking that down...

I'm saying 6 because it's not a GREAT movie, but for it's genre, it should get an 8. This is what Rob Zombie wishes his movies looked like. I actually sat down and watched it start to finish, which rarely happens. Lots of "awful" humor, which is actually funny, and just enough disturbing things to make you comfortable. It's one of those films where you can't be sure you know where it's going, and then it goes where you knew it would go, but then it takes a turn and then it's back to where you knew where it was going again. It's no masterpiece but it's great for what it is. Give it a look-see, you'll like it.
