EAT LOCALS

Cinemavixion Review

Director Jason Flemyng's 2017 horror-comedy "Eat Locals" offers a darkly humorous take on vampire lore, set against the backdrop of a clandestine, once-a-century gathering of Britain's undead elite. The film cleverly pits ancient creatures of the night against a hapless Essex lad, Sebastian Crockett, who stumbles into their midst unknowingly, and a surprisingly competent squad of vampire hunters. What ensues is a chaotic night of unexpected alliances and brutal confrontations, promising a memorable, albeit potentially fatal, experience for its characters. While the film garnered a mixed reception, with a score of 5.4/10 on IMDb and 21% on Rotten Tomatoes, its unique premise and blend of gallows humor make it a noteworthy entry for fans of quirky horror. The ensemble cast, including Freema Agyeman, Adrian Bower, and Roman Clark, navigates the film's tonal shifts with commendable energy, contributing to its distinct, albeit divisive, charm.
