kols English are from England; Scots are from Scotland; Welsh are from Wales. They're all from Britain. The British Isles include Ireland and all the little islands that don't already belong to Iceland or Norway or are independent or want to be independent or are disputed and who, outside of the locals, cares? So no, not an English urban legend but reviewer did identify Bean as Scottish first. If the legend had been widespread in Britain, then a British urban legend - that is, if the locale had been urban, which it wasn't.But it wasn't either wide-spread or urban so it's just a local Galloway story of dubious origin.Final point: who, outside of a neurotic Woody Allen character, gives a damn? From the reviews, this is a schlock movie and schlock movies are exempt from any kind of accuracy: historical, territorial, scriptural, motivational or common sense - that's what makes the good ones entertaining, like a Road Runner cartoon.

fangy-2 I would like to set the record straight about Sawney Bean. Reach4xtc said in his review that Sawney Bean was a English urban legend, this is not true, I live about 30 miles from the cave where Sawney Bean and his family lived, they where very real people and nothing to do with the English, urban legend or otherwise. I doubt Reach4xtc has ever stepped foot in Scotland and obviously knows nothing of Scottish history. This being said the rest of his review is quite accurate. A film worth the watching if you like the gore factor, and you don't mind the fact that it is a low budget, bad acting, splatter fest.

Chris Mackey (guestar57) Cannibalism is not the subject of idle chit-chat. Really liked the effects, set and bad guys in this Theasylum flick. Tom(Bill)Nagel is the only victim ,I had apathy for…Being a fomer carpal tunnel patient, My hands hurt almost as much as Toms. Vaz(Callum) Andreas had the most scenes to emote in, If you could while munching on co-stars. Leigh(Sawney)Scott had the kewlest role as leader on stilts and why not when your also the director. Tom(Towart)Downey, Hey they didn't list you in IMDb& we interviewed before, Has the most fun as the Big Brother with a gimmick. Louis(Sheriff)Graham was even more disturbing then as the neighbor in When A Killer Calls, For shame on you sir. Erica(Rhian) Roby has the required T & A scene and is as pretty as she is hungry. The ending freaked me, And not in a good way…Whatever happened to happy endings Where ,oh, where is MICHAEL BERRYMAN ???

maxwelldrake This movie was made to cash in on the success of the 2006 remake of "the Hills Have Eyes". Not since Kurt Russell portrayed a jungle boy on Gilligan's Island has someone done such an amazing job of not looking like a primitive. The Cannibals in this movie are pathetic. They engage in what can only be described as "Ooga Booga" acting. It takes more to be threatening in a performance that simply slipping on a leather coat which was bought from a Salvation Army used clothing store, rolling in the mud, and yelling, while waving your hands in the air. The nylon wigs, and halloween makeup show more of an effort than many of the "movies" produced by this production company / video mill, but all in all there is very little meat on the bones of this cannibal film. The violence and gore will satisfy those that are purely into graphic scenes, but if you need plot or logic in order to suspend your disbelief forget it. Issues like why there are cannibal, how they got there, and why their victims arrive in the desert in the first place are not addressed. What the director obviously didn't realise is that when it comes to horror less is more. This is especially true when you have actors that are so over the top in their depictions that the cave man in the Pauly Shore film "Encino Man" seems like something put together by anthropologists in a documentary. We almost see more interaction of the cannibals relating to each other than we do the victims to whom we are meant to relate. The post-nuclear valley girl-looking cannibals brutally kill their victims and than daintily eat the body parts off a licence plate like canapays. At one point you can even hear the director tell two of the cannibals "Ok, now lick your fingers" as they gently nibble away on the flesh as if Miss Manners herself was standing off screen as a technical adviser instructing on etiquette. If you can look past the fact that the cave in which they live is lite up like a Macy's Christmas tree, you are left to wonder where the cannibals got the vanilla candles that burn in the knooks and cranies of the cave from time to time (Peir One?). Basically, what you have is a film that contains scenes of violence and brutality which are rendered ineffective by all the rest of the films content.
