Hillbillies Bo (Bo Keister) and Cephus (Scott Geiter) are having
themselves a little bit of fun, watching a few movies and guzzling a few
beers in their trailer, while their sexy cousin Lulu (Rachel Faulkner)
struts around in an assortment of sexy outfits that never fit whatever
chores she's given. Now while Bo's your typical trailer trash out on
parole, Cephus is supposed to be the brainy one, having worked a day and a
half at NASA - but the beer-fueled gibberish he emits all day that only Bo
seems to understand suggests otherwise. Today's entertainment comes from
a box full of DVDs Bo has "found" somewhere, for some reason all
films with a horror theme (and please do click the movie titles for more
information):
- Franky and the Ant:
Two hitmen just go about their business, but as it turns out, things
have gotten a little more personal for one of them.
- Doppelgänger: A
skeleton sees the world for the first time and is left with amazement
- to soon find out his amazement is not shared by all.
- Amused: A woman finds
herself on the run from not but two insane killers.
- The Nest: Something's eating
the lifestock of the region, and it's killer bees - and in this neck
of the woods, they're bigger and badder than ever ...

First and foremost, Hillbilly Horror Show is a very
rewarding project, as it gives indie genre shorts a platform away from the
usual festival run, and presents the audience with a very rich and
eclectic mix of movies - and these are high quality movies, far removed
from the cliché of the "indie" filmmaker just shooting gory
trash in his parents' backyard, films that deserve to be seen by a wider
audience.
As for the host segments: They are a whole bit wackier than the movies
shown, and intentionally so, and while some of the humour is a bit moronic
even, the line to being straight out annoying is never crossed, and the
hillbilly motives is never pushed to the extreme. Add to that likeable
characters competently portrayed, and a few really good jokes, and you've
got yourself a good framing story as well.
It's lot of fun, really, and features some really good movies - totally
recommended!!!
