Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Izzy Adkins The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.

welshrob1 The only reason I ended up watching this film, was I went to Blockbuster and picked four good movies, the girl behind the counter told me it would be cheaper to get five to get the movie deal. I was in a hurry and quickly grabbed this one from the Horror section. Ooops! Not the best choice I have ever made.The plot was.. mehhh. I have lived in Australia for 20 years but I'm Welsh and come from an area quite close to the real Devil's Bridge, so I grew up in the Welsh Nationalist heartland, I was living there when the Meibion Glydwr idiots were at their most dangerous, torching holiday homes and beating up English tourists in the pubs, so I don't actually find it THAT hard to believe that a mentally disturbed Nationalistic loner would go bonkers and attack some Englishmen after downing a bottle of Whisky. So that part at least, made some sort of sense. The rest of the plot was like a string vest, thin and full of holes. The characters were underdeveloped, so it was hard to feel anything much for them. They weren't particularly likable and when they were all fighting for their lives with Parry at various points, I found that I didn't care that much who won. Possibly the worst thing about the whole film, as others have said, is the shaky camera work. It ruined the action scenes and made the whole thing look like a teen pop video. The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one, is Joshua Richards as William. He was good enough that I am surprised I haven't seen him pop up in a "proper" film. I know this film was made on a low budget but that's not an excuse. It could have been so much better without spending another penny. Just losing the shaky cam alone could have improved it no end. If you like this type of film and see it in the DVD shop, or available to download, Don't bother. Save your money and watch Wolf Creek and the sequel instead, they are so much better that it's not funny.

anorthunbloke Just watched this in my hotel room. What a terrible film. The camera work is awful and the plot is predictable. A British Deliverance with so much potential, wasted. It's a low budget film, I get that, but that's the perfect reason to spend more time and effort developing the plot! Three English guys go to Wales for business. They end up on the wrong side of a mad Welsh guy called Bill. He is the best character in the film and gives the best performance. But that's where the positives end. Essentially, Bill ends up chasing these three guys through the woods. He catches one and kills him. Meanwhile, the other two have been running away for ages yet Bill somehow continues to WALK after them and is just behind them all the time! This happens throughout. Bill just walks, the guys leg it but Bill is always within shooting distance. Fast forward to the end (there's nothing else worth mentioning) when one of the three guys finally kills Bill. Bill is tough. He can take a few shots before a head shot kills him. The guy is at some police station where instantly you can tell the copper is just a weird as Bill. "He's bound to be Bills brother" I thought. I was right. Bills police man brother then shoots him. The. End. Give me back the last hour and a bit of my life! So frustrating was this film. ARRRGGHHH!!!

chaugnurfaugn-269-83012 Deliverance and The Hills Have Eyes comes to Wales with outlandish and unlikely consequences with only a few redeeming features.The plot is as basic as it comes. A group of little Englanders head to Wales for some reason. Something about the lead role, Sean, requiring the help of a dodgy wheeler dealer to save his ailing business. To be honest, the reason is peripheral, barely explored and fairly pointless.On the way to their holiday spot in the depths of the Welsh countryside the English group encounter local psychopath Bill and things progress from there. The Devil's Bridge in the title is a local landmark which the lads visit for less than one minute of the film. Thereafter it is never mentioned nor featured again, rendering the title as pointless as much of the pre-violence plot.If there is a message here it's ambiguous. I suspect there is one, however, since much of the senseless violence centres around Welsh nationalism and looks suspiciously indulgent coming from Cardiff born writer/director Chris Crow. Whatever the underlying subtext, the resulting movie is an ugly mish mash with little distinction between villain and victim. Certainly too little for us to give a damn who goes under the knife and who doesn't.The characters are one dimensional, but uncomfortably true to life. It may be for this reason that I, an Englishman with a close Welsh heritage, found the whole thing to be too grim and gritty to be anything other than disturbing. For a US audience the change of locale and the perpetuated stereotype of Brits as backwards, brainless and nationalistic thugs will probably make for a fun ride, though I doubt there's enough gore to satisfy the usual crowd.In the end, this is little more than a redneck-gone-mad slasher plucked out of the southern states and dropped into the backwaters of Wales.

ddraig7 A very good film apart from the camera work.Low budget obviously....Very good acting from all concerned,but the shaky camera drove me nuts.If it was intentional, I don't see how it could improve on the mood or suspense of the film, or the film as a whole. If it had been a Blair Witch type film filmed by one of the cast, I could see the reasoning behind it. Still, it is a very moody,gritty piece of work that kept me interested throughout. It was nice to see a film that had no need for costly special effects and which relied on good acting and location for it's plot. Anyway......6/10 from me......could have been an 8 if not for the camera work.
