    Plague is correct

    This movie was plagued to be horrible after the first scene. The plot was very predictable. The "children" were very creepy looking. I would not want to run into them in a dark alley. They were the only thing interesting about this movie. If they had given an explanation of why these children were born as they were, it would have added a lot to the story. Also they should have made it clear as to whether or not what the children were doing was ritualistic to try to turn the town's luck around, or was it all just sport for them. The way the Englishman ended up seemed very ritualistic. My biggest question is how did the outlying towns not know about this little community? This was a waste of time to watch and could have been a better movie with very little effort on the part of the people that made the movie. Just by giving some explanations would have enhanced the movie. I found it totally boring and a bunch of nonsense with some good make-up effects thrown in.

    Skip it

    The setting was creepy, perfect for a good ole travelers fall prey to a community of mutants film. Other than that it sucked. I'm not blaming the actors, some of them were decent, they just had nothing to work with. Annoying characters that you have no sympathy for rule the day. The deformed mutants were just people with their faces painted white. Lots of gore if you like that stuff. Lame plot with little backstory and an ending that might have intended to shock you, but it does not. I liked the creepy whispers on the woods. Molly was fairly well played and a bit cute. Low budget action scenes that made me giggle. Skip it.

    Unnerving

    I choose to watch this film while I was in a search for something scary after mistakenly reading that it has won an award at some "Horrorthon" festival. It hasn't won any awards and it most probably won't. It was just screened there, but I'm glad I watched it. It was pretty much exactly what I was looking for. A creepy and scary horror movie.

    For a low budget and an unknown cast this was a very good effort. The other reviewer is right to point out that that it is mis-titled, "Plague Town" does not accurately describe the film, but so what! (And just for the other reviewers benefit, I do not believe they are eating corned beef and cabbage sandwiched, I believe they are eating pasties)

    It has barely nothing for a storyline but then most horror films don't. A horror film is about setting the scene and then laying on the threat of what is going to happen next. An American family find themselves stranded in the middle of some Irish countryside near a village which they quickly discover, to their misfortune, is populated by demon children. It has hints of "Children of the Corn", a nudge towards "Rosemary's Baby", and I suspect an admiration for the Sadako character from the Japanese "Ring" films.

    I watched this movie alone, in my flat, with the lights off, and it was pretty unnerving in places. It's the first film that I've watched in a long time where I've come away feeling slightly nervous to walk around my own flat. I for sure do not want to get stranded in any Irish countryside after watching this.

    Atmospheric but ultimately disappointing

    Plague Town does manage to create a great atmosphere, so it does achieve what it sets out to do, so credit must be given there. However, atmosphere can't work alone, and unfortunately that's all that the film has going for it.

    We have a group of characters who we really don't care for, below par acting performances and a poor script, which makes me feel as though the great atmosphere was somewhat wasted, which is the biggest disappointment of Plague Town.

    There are some brutal scenes of violence. Some looked really good and some looked really fake, but for a low budget film, i thought the production level was good, it was just unfortunate that the acting and script couldn't help keep the film afloat!

    Overall, for independent horror, Plague Town isn't terrible. In fact, its better than a lot of horror movies out there. I just couldn't help but feel that it should have been much better!

    No budget for lighting

    What is the reason for making a movie so dark you can't even see what's happening? No budget for lights?

      Kate Aspinwall was 14 years old when she played "Rosemary". It was her first film.
    • Goofs
      Although the film is supposedly set in Ireland and the bus drives on the left, the passenger door is on the right. Anybody alighting from the bus would step down into traffic, giving away the fact that the bus is from a country that drives on the right.
