George (Andrew Dunn) is playing a board game at home with his family, when they are disrupted by two armed Russian gangsters who invade their home. Taking George as a hostage they give instructions to his wife Sandra (Kate Coogan) her son Tim (Kurtis Lowe) and step daughter Kim (Mica Proctor) to break into a remote country manor to steal several secret documents. The ultimatum if they refuse to participate or fail to obtain the documents, George will be killed. They make their way to the mansion as instructed, but once they arrive it is not unoccupied and the events inside anything but normal. Behind the closed doors...

Attack of the Adult Babies. What a title! It’s enough on its own to make me want to watch it but the movie has plenty more to offer than the crazy-sounding title. Director Dominic Brunt is best known to many as Paddy in U.K. soap Emmerdale but genre fans should know him better for his directorial work. His first movie was the excellent, gritty, slow burn zombie film Before Dawn and he followed it up with the sometimes-hard-to-watch but great revenge thriller Bait. With his third feature he has chose something very very different…

After watching Attack of the Adult Babies you’ll realise that the...

Recent years have seen a resurgance in the horror anthology, from the likes of V/H/S to The ABC’s of Death – both of which have inspired many a filmmaker to create their own anthology, to vary degrees of success. The latest to join the ranks is Zombieworld, a collection of 11 shorts, which was put together by Ruthless Pictures in association with horror website Dread Central. This film however has more in common with the “classic” 80s anthology film Groove Tube as TV newsreader Marvin Gloatt (played by the awesome Bill Oberst Jr.) – himself slowly turning into one of the undead...

Howard Ford said today:...

Before every review I write, I watch the movie and then I background search the actors, the director, the writer, etc. When I went to check out Inbred on IMDb, I saw the cover art they have on display and the very first thing I thought was “that movie looks pretty rad.”

What a deception.

Inbred has been in the works since 2011 and it’s finally hitting American shores this month. Alex Chandon, director and co-writer behind this piece, has done very little before. His short filmography includes a Cradle of Filth music video so at least he has some experience behind the camera. Paul Shrimpton, the other co-writer, makes his debut with the film and it’s easy to see that. Between the two of them they create a watchable, albeit lackluster, British Wrong Turn.

Director: Alex Chandon. Writers: Alex Chandon and Paul Shrimpton. Cast: Jo Hartley, Seamus O'Neill, James Doherty, James Burrows, Neil Leiper, Chris Waller, Nadine Rose Mulkerrin, Terry Haywood, Damien Lloyd-Davies, Derek Melling, Mark Rathbone and Dominic Brunt. Tagline: "They came in peace...they left in pieces." Inbred is a little indie horror production from the United Kingdom and director Alex Chandon (Cradle of Fear). Chandon brings his years of experience in digital special effects to this title in bloody fashion. Very gory, Inbred is a tale of several youths sent up to the north of England to find reform with two social workers. They find a group of blood-thirsty town folk who need more bodies for their terror filled carnival. Thus, outsiders and locals collide in this horror production, which is filled with hilarious moments of dark comedy. Tim (James Burrows), Zeb (Terry Haywood), Sam (Nadine Mulkerrin) and Dwight (Chris Waller) are the dysfunctional kids.

Since these appear to be the last two stories from Day 3 of Afm, we're combining them into one. We have Us distro news on Alex Chandon's Inbred and word of a new creature feature from Toby Wilkins.

Per Variety, XLrator Media has acquired all Us rights to Chandon's horror comedy Inbred (review here), starring Jo Hartley, James Doherty, Seamus O'Neill and James Burrows. The film, written by Chandon and Paul Shrimpton, follows four young urban offenders and their care workers as they embark on a community service weekend in the strange, remote Yorkshire village. A minor incident with some local inbred youths rapidly escalates into a nightmare for all involved.

Next, per Bloody Disgusting, Stealth Media is getting behind "Teen Wolf" and Splinter director Toby Wilkins' latest creature feature, Dead Sand, which will star Amber Heard (Machete Kills, Zombieland, and Drive Angry) . The story involves "two humvees [that] tear across a desert.

UK/Germany, 2011

If you’re acquainted with Karl Pilkington, the most idiosyncratic and avant-garde thinker of the 21st century, then you’ll know that Northerners are “a bit weird, innit?” In the United Kingdom, Northerners are the equivalent to American Southerners (or, if you’re Canadian, anyone outside Toronto), and are often at the brunt of aren’t-they-poor, aren’t-they-backwards, aren’t-they-stupid, and, yes, even aren’t-they-inbred jokes. A country’s regional divide can serve as fodder for socio-economic and cultural insight, or gory and insular hillbilly horror; Inbred dabbles in the former, but ultimately ends up being the latter. If Deliverance and The Hills Have Eyes came together and got to know Kes in the biblical sense, Inbred would be their unholy offspring; a film that combines grindhouse and slaughterhouse.

The story follows four juvenile delinquents from...

Up north we don’t like outsiders in Yorkshire coming and trying to take over. We live on farms and drink at the local pub and keep our shotguns ready just in case… well not really, but there are a few villages with their local pubs where outsiders are frowned on and strangers watched with a nervous and distrusting eye. This is the world of the League of Gentlemen, American Werewolf in London, Emmerdale, and now Inbred.

The premise for Inbred is quite simple really; a group of young offenders (from the look and sound of them “southerners”) are taken on a weekend trip into the countryside of Yorkshire. They soon find themselves lost in the village of Mortlake where the locals like to spend their time...

Director: Alex Chandon. Review: Adam Wing. Anyone sitting down to watch Inbred, the latest in a long line of mutant family horrors, would be well advised to persevere. Alex Chandon’s fright-fest arrives on DVD this month with the tagline, “They came in peace… they left in pieces”, and early evidence suggests an even greater lack of creativity. Swamped in annoying stereotypes, hackneyed plot twists and horror cliché, at first glance Paul Shrimpton’s script appears to get everything wrong. It’s not until the delirious final act kicks in that you realise you were probably missing the point. Inbred borrows heavily from the likes of An American Werewolf in London, The Hills Have Eyes and Deliverance in order to set up it’s story, and the petty theft continues long after that. Shrimpton and Chandon have probably spent a lot of time watching recent French offerings too (The Ordeal...

Rating: 5 out of 10

I was determined not to leave my sense of humour at home when I went to see Inbred, a horror comedy that takes aim at my home county of Yorkshire. With an open mind and an open heart I suffered its poor story, amateur acting, unfunny jokes and general cheapness, eventually managing to raise a chuckle and see a glimmer of originality amongst all the pointlessness. It took a lot of effort though.

Jeff and Kate are taking a group of disadvantaged children on an activity weekend in the Yorkshire countryside, arriving in the backwards village of Mortlake and visiting its local pub, the Dirty Hole (you�ll get an idea of the general level of humour from the name). James Doherty and particularly Jo Braxton do a pretty good...

Inbred will have its World Premiere at London's 2011 Fright Fest August 29th at 6:30pm. This film, shot in the United Kingdom, gives a very English flavour to an often seen American theme of inbreeding and mutation. Just think of the Wrong Turn series of films and the many Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies. Both of these series involve a family shunning normal societal behaviour in favour of murder and bloodshed. This stereotype was developed in the American Appalachians, to generalize a group of hard-working, but misunderstood people who mostly stuck to a clan mentality. Now, the massacre moves to the hills of Yorkshire, where a group of community workers are in for the surprise of their lives.

As well, this film is a co-production between New Flesh Films and Split Second Films. This is the first feature to be produced by New Flesh Films, but the seventh for Split Second.
