    Plague Town 2008

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1118687/

    http://www.upcominghorrormovies.com/...69-Plague-Town







    Plague Town has a awesome opening. Somewhere in Ireland, a young girl in the final stages of pregnancy is very afraid of what might be expelled from between her legs. A priest shows up just before the baby is born and comforts her, telling her not to worry. Trust in God. You know what I mean..all that priestly stuff. However, the priest's attitude changes when the baby finally arrives, and he denies the girl's pleas to see the newborn as he takes out a gun to shoot the child in the head.





    Sadly, before the priest gets a chance to pop the kid the father of the baby kills him. How awesome is that? If babies aren't dying, then seemingly evil priests are. Can it get any better than this? Well, almost.


    14 years after the priest's death, an American family is touring Europe and because of their argueing, they miss the bus that was going to take them back to wherever they were going back to. So they spend some time fighting and trying to find either a place to stay for the night or a phone to call for some transportation. Of course they end up on the outskirts of the town where the priest was murdered, that's a no brainer, but the irony of it all is that the priest was doing the right thing by trying to kill that child. Apparently, the babies in this backwoods town have been coming out deformed for years, and the priest was keeping that in check. After his death, nobody took up that role, and now the town is overflowing with creepy little bastards that don't play nice..... At All.








    Kids can be creepy. Kids with deformities chasing you with butcher knives, scythes and pitchforks are creepy. These little hellions are led by a girl who was apparently modeled after a horrific Raggedy Ann doll, this is the stuff nightmares are made of, and it's here where Plague Town really, really shines. You have to sit through some of the more tiresome scenes but is well worth it by the time the film really starts. You'll know that time, too. It's not when Molly sees the strange face in the forest, and nobody believes her because she could be having an episode. It's not when Jessica and Robin discover that run down abandoned house in the middle of nowhere. It's not when Jerry comes looking for them a short time later and finds the house isn't abandoned after all, there are children hiding in it and they want to play. No, it's none of these. Plague Town's awesome moment is when Robin is led to a house that is straight out of Hansel and Gretel..... with a table full of sweet marshmallow treats. The grandmotherly figure introduces Robin to Rosemary, the Raggedy Ann from hell, and says she is 'of age' and then that's when the party starts.
    Oh and theres the blood.... Gore fans will find something to love in this film, as Plague Town isn't shy about getting under your skin. There are some impressive effects in this low-budget movie, and I admit a few scenes made me cringe.







    Plague Town is a tough film to rate. For much of the movie, you are sitting around waiting for something to happen, but the moment it does you are sucked right into the film. If the entire movie had been a rock star's finale.... 35 minutes of this movie would have been one hell of a feature film.

    It was a good film. The plagued children and their warning sounds, were very creepy. I didn't feel at all for the yanks, it was more about the villagers for me. 7/10.
