Ahead of its April release, Shudder has shared the trailer for their new Irish horror-comedy Boys from County Hell, a movie that you don’t want to miss!
Strange events unfold in Six Mile Hill – a sleepy Irish town that claims to have been traveled by the famed author Bram Stoker – when construction on a new road disrupts the alleged grave of Abhartach, a legendary Irish vampire said to have inspired Dracula. Deadly and sinister forces terrorize the work crew led by Francie Moffat and his son Eugene, a free-spirited young man who prefers pints to pickaxes, and they’re forced to fight to survive the night while exposing the true horror that resides in the town’s local myth.
Jack Rowan (Peaky Blinders), Nigel O’Neill (The Bookshop), Louisa Harland (Derry Girls), Fra Fee (Animals, the upcoming Hawkeye series), John Lynch (The Terror, The Banishing), and Michael Hough (the upcoming Chapelwaite series), star in the laugh out loud movie written and directed by Chris Baugh (Bad Day for the Cut).
Brendan Mullin of Six Mile Hill Productions and Yvonne Donohoe produce for Blinder Films. It is executive produced by Katie Holly for Blinder Films, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Rian Cahill for Automatik, and Lesley McKimm for Screen Ireland. The film is a co-production between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland and was supported by Endeavor Content, Screen Ireland, Northern Ireland Screen, and Egg Post Production.
Boys from County Hell premieres exclusively on Shudder in the US and Canada on April 22, 2021.
