1/5 BRITISH HILLBILLIES
  by Robert F. Powers (Quincy, Ma USA)
"Small Town Folk" has a cutesy title and a cool Dvd cover and then it goes downhill and never climbs back up. Mostly scenes of British rednecks who kill anyone who venture into their small town of Grockleton. Most of the maniacs have grossly bad teeth, but i just chalked that up to British dentistry. The movie is pretty much unwatchable despite the gore and I checked out of Grockleton about half way through. And I couldn't even bear to watch the "Leprachaun" himself, Warwick Davis being carried around on the back of a giant retard.

You have been warned-this is a movie for people who like bad teeth, bad breath and bad taste. And oh, those British hillbillies are so proper, one even wears a derby.

5/5 no budget but top notch

looks like a local tv access sereal was turned ino a movie. the cast is not pretty but charismatic. very good acting. flaws in filming but completely forgiveable. this is a delightful film. it should have been crap but this crap was made by eating diamonds, emeralds, and gold. it's the old 'if you get lost on your trip you don't want to end up in this town'. i believe this would win almost any film competition if it were entered. and yet it is low budget and there are filming flaws [like: where'd that tree come from? it wasn't there a minute ago.]
it's don't enter this little town. like 'house of wax', 'the texas chainsaw masacre', 'delverence', ... yet this film isn't really comparable to any of those. there's not a lot of gore. it does remind me a little bit of 'hide and creep'. [which i, also, recommend. a zombie film with litte blood and lots of funny lines and scenes. if you like big money films, keep away. these 2 films would be good for training ideas for low budget filming.

3/5 With a small town comes small minds

I have to say that Small Town Folk is a very different kind of horror. It has a lot of qualities that are in a class by itself. Although very low budget they shot this movie with unbelievable style. With green screen effects and some great nature scenes that are unlike any other. Small town is not a straight forward horror. It shows us a fantasy/comedy/slasher movie instead. The characters are all very interesting even though there a more than a handful of villians. It helps make it more convincing being in a small town would you think there would be than two or three people living there. I only give this 3 stars because while it was a great to watch and very interesting it lacked in some areas. It never becomes scary. Watching this you find yourself saying there is in no way I would get killed by these idiots. None of the villians have an I.Q what so ever. While making the film funny it does not bring any fear to the viewers. Looking at the characters you would think they would be scary, but after watching and listening to the cruel deliberate scoundrels you find the comedic quality over powering compared to the seriousness that it should have entailed. It has a few moments of good gore but lacked in that department as well. So really those are the only two things the film lacked, but for some reason that makes it only a little above average.

A couple by the names of Jon and Susan who are taking a road trip find themselves lost. As they approach a man on the side of the road they pull over to ask for directions. He seems to be talking rubbish and speaking as though another guy is there with them. After a minute or so a tiny man pops up from on his back. The two wierdos tell the couple not take to go into the town called Grockleton, it doesn't seem to be on the map. Of course the couple decide to go there anyway to find a place to sleep for the night. After discovering the locals are as weird and crazy as they seem the couple and a few others have to try and escape alive.

Small Town Folk is a fun and different experience. It will never be in the top greats of all time. But for the horror fans who like low budget films and are really sick of most of the terrible Hollywood horrors than this will be a breath of fresh air.
