Pretty Bad

1st of I must say I love really rubbish horror movies, this 1 however was reeeeaaaaalllly bad. For a change I actually turned it off after a hour not being able to take anymore.
The redeeming qualities are some good & amusing zombie killings but thats where it stops. My main gripe with this movie is the actors, I pride myself on being able to pick up dialects very quickly but with this I really struggled, the easiest person to understand was Helena (who is Spanish) her English was far & above better than the rest of the cast. I wonder if Conor Mcmahon didn't grab the 1st bunch of locals he saw & offer them free Guinness to "act" in his film.

So if you can't understand the accents, the movie is bad?

I had to watch Trainspotting with English subtitles on the first time to catch everything they were saying, mostly due to Begbie's thick scottish accent. Does that mean it's a bad film?
