the Asylum Again

 

THE BEAST OF BRAY ROAD-2005-The Asylum Strikes again! In this useless waste of time horror flick a monster terrorizes a hick town where the only character that's not a moronic inbred redneck is the local sheriff transferred from Chicago. "The beast" turns out to be a werewolf and most everyone is killed. Director Leigh Scott later made HILLSIDE CANNIBALS.

Flee When Flu Flies

 FLU BIRD HORROR-2008-A group of juvenile delinquents out int the woods are terrorized by giant birds infected by some new type of avian flu. After their counselor is killed, an idiot named Johnson (Jonathan Trent) puts himself in charge because he has a gun. They hide in an underground tunnel and debate whether they should kill their whimpering wounded comrade (he gets eaten later anyway). TV actor Lance Guest is Garrett, a ranger who tries to help them while arguing with his former girlfriend Dr. Hale (Clare Carey; a regular on TV's JERICHO around this time). Later Homeland Security gets involved. 

There's lots of bloody SFX but the acting is terrible and so is the script. Sarah Butler who plays the caring delinquent Eva starred in the 2010 remake of I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE.  Director Leigh Scott made other dreck including HILLSIDE CANNIBALS.

Bean There, Done That...

HILLSIDE CANNIBALS-2006-A group (family) of cannibals terrorize some teens in the California desert in this low budget gory idiocy. They mostly use torture, eat the flesh and drink the blood of their victims but they also grunt and groan and fight amongst themselves a lot. Somehow another guy who's daughter was killed by the tribe has tracked them down and wants revenge but he gets killed the first time he attacks them! This is suppose to have been inspired by the (possibly fictional) legend of Sawney Bean, a Scottish madman who terrorized his native land with a his own family of cannibals but the real influence is THE HILLS HAVE EYES (which may have be influenced itself by the Bean legend). The director Leigh Scott plays the head of the clan.

I just read the DVD box also makes reference to THHE and the Bean legend!
