Review of Plague Town (2009) by Juha S — 19 Feb 2010
Plague Town is a bizarre, original, and brutally wicked little piece of British filmmaking. Featuring some genuinely creepy visuals and a distinctive style, Plague Town will delight fans of horror who want something different than the ordinary fare.
Since Flixter provides no summary, I will attempt to do so. The film concerns a family on a trip back to their father's ancestry in England. The father is poised to remarry and the stepmother is along for the ride, one of the daughters has just recently been released from a mental hospital, the other daughter is vacuous bitch who constantly berates Dad's girlfriend and her sister, and vacuous daughter's British boyfriend is along for the ride.
They get lost in the countryside and miss their bus back to civilization. The locals repeatedly try to warn them against being out past dark in the area, but the family, of course, misunderstands them.
Soon, the family discovers that something is terribly wrong with the children of the area, and the children are ready to play.
