This film will certainly to wonders for the Irish Country tourism board.
An American family attempt to build bridges in their relationships as they holiday in the beautiful Irish countryside. On a day trip, to a remote part of the area, they miss the last bus home and discover the locals have a dark secret.
This is as spooky and wicked as they come. I'm shocked at how creepy this film is. It's visually stunning but the tension and eeriness which Director, Dave Gregory has created is outstanding. A strong feeling of dread looms over the film from the initial scene and grows by the minute. The gore is savage and deeply rooted in the natural and rural. Twigs in the neck, whippings with branches, choking with leaves and vines through eye sockets. Hideous stuff and would you be more shocked if I was to mention the evil doings are performed by children, skipping and smiling in their dark activity. There is also a stunning decapitation of the most casual i've ever seen: a glorious effect. The film is beautifully shot, superb cinematography making full use of the landscape and surrounding woods.
This is Wickerman meets Calvaire, meets Children of the Damned, meets Night of the Living Dead. Huge praise and plenty of material to work with and salute as the film stamps its creepy mark on the history of the horror genre. This is a real cult classic, I'm surprised I've not heard of this prior. Marvellous cinema.

Other reviewers have covered the plot, so I'll limit myself to a few comments.
I found the movie moderately enjoyable, the high points being the supremely creepy Rosemary and her quietly-crazy mother. The death-ritual surrounding the most unlikeable Robin was also striking.
I did notice, however, that the razor-wire decapitation was perhaps inspired by a similar gimmick in "Ghost Ship" (an older movie I recommend)--and that the final twist was borrowed from an early Richard Laymon novel called "The Cellar".

Very well filmed on a small budget, Great Cinematography and extremely Violent 'Plague Town' definitely has a 70's feel to it which is no bad thing.
Two other good reviews are already here so I'll just tell you why I've only given it 3 stars. The reason is the beginning of the film where we meet the American family who are on holiday. The first 25 mins of the film is poorly acted and the characters themselves are such an odious bunch that I feel no sympathy for them when they start getting picked off. Perhaps that was the intention and I've missed something but it just seemed wrong.
However the film certainly improves when 'the children' arrive. Some fantastically gory deaths and a feeling of dread invade the screen bringing to mind The Wickerman and even Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Would have got 4 stars if not for the beginning.
