A group of young urban offenders and their care workers embark on a community service weekend in the strange, remote Yorkshire village of Mortlake, which prides on keeping itself to itself. Visiting the local pub the 'Dirty Hole' which serves suspiciously hairy pork scratching, they quickly realise they've made the wrong holiday choice. When an incident with some local inbred youths rapidly escalates into a blood-soaked, deliriously warped nightmare, it's not a case of who will survive, but w...
One of the few genres we do better than most here in the UK is the horror, and Inbred is a solid example of that. It has its flaws, but what you want from a good horror is a bag full of thrills, plenty of blood, and some action, and it delivers.
Set in an old mining town in Northern England, the film sees a couple of careworkers take a group of troubled young folk for a weekend away. As you can imagine, the kids are not afraid of using the likes of four-letter words, which makes for some entertainment before the horrors really get underway.
It's not long before they meet some of the people local to this remote town, and naturally, they don't quite make for ideal neighbours on what was intended to be just a weekend away. Thankfully for us, they turn out to be a group of cannibals, and not everyone that came for the trip is going to make it out alive.
The good thing about Inbred is that, despite the relatively low budget, it delivers on some very good visuals, with some brilliant and highly convincing horrors and gore. The low-budget films don't always, or even often, give you blood and guts that you can really believe, but Inbred is the exception to that rule.
What lets it down slightly is both the premise, which is perhaps a little too contrived, and a few of the periphery performances.
For the most part, however, director Alex Chandon and his co-writer, Paul Shrimpton, have provided another great entry in the British horror market that is well worth seeking out. With Halloween right around the corner, now is the perfect time.

British horror in which a group of young offenders and their carers come to regret the decision to spend a weekend in rural Yorkshire. Kate (Jo Hartley) and Jeff (James Doherty), the leaders of the offenders, pick the village of Mortlake as their destination precisely for its reputation as a quiet, self-contained centre of rusticity. However, when the group enter the uniquely hostile environment of the local pub, The Dirty Hole, run by landlord Jim (Seamus O'Neill), they realise that appearances can be deceptive. After a series of escalating encounters with the locals, the urbanites find themselves well and truly out of their comfort zone when things turn nasty...
