Strangely intriguing...


It's true, I have quite the inclination for b-movies. Just like every genre or budget, there are the gems and the duds. 'Small Town Folk' falls in the former... It's true I just can't get enough. I actually bought this film just because of the box, I know - never judge a book by it's cover, and have watched it 3 times already. 'Small Town Folk' is bad... but it's so bad that its good... not just bad, bad - which I know makes a lot of sense to some of you.

What makes this film so intriguing is the characters, the costumes, and beleive it or not the cinematography... Yes it's actually done quite well. The acting is, of course, atrocious... but if the movie took itself seriously then we wouldn't have ourselves a shining little diamond in the rough, a cult classic if you will.

The premise is simple and fun... Two lovers on holiday are looking for an adventure... Of course the find it, in a small village that no one would want to be stranded in. When the small town folk find out that the female is pregnant, they take much interest because the baby would mean another edition into their blood thirsty, dirty hick stricken village... And who wouldn't want that?

A lot of people will hate this film, but those who have a deep appreciation for the bad will see 'Small Town Folk' for what it is... A bloody & entertaining ride into the deep depths of terrible cinema.
