This film is pretty much like every other camping-trip-ruined-by-inbred-cannibals movie you've ever seen -- except Evil Breed: The Legend of Samhain does it with aging pornstars. I have to question the filmmaker's reasoning here. Young pornstars I could understand. I don't care how hot Chasey Lain, Jenna Jameson and Taylor Hayes were back in the day, all of the body reconstruction work is beginning to show, as are the effects of various substances they've probably injected into themselves at one point or another. Furthermore, why do I want to go through the torture of watching a horrible movie just to see a couple of them topless when a quick Google search could take me right to video clips of them getting their freak on when their implants were still new?

I will grant the filmmakers a little leeway when it comes to Ginger Lynn Allen, since she has actually done a fair share of mainstream films over the years. But get this -- these guys have Ginger speaking with an Irish accent. You just have to laugh at this nonsense.

OK, getting back to the actual film. I don't know what college these folks are from, but their teacher, Karen (Bobbie Phillips), has eschewed the classroom setting in order to bring them to Ireland and show them real history. Her entire lesson plan, I must note, seems to consist solely of a few moments spent cracking jokes around a circle of rocks. Only one girl, Shae (Brandi-Ann Milbradt) is even interested in the subject; the others just want to have sex. Everyone soon goes their separate ways, get attacked by cannibals, yada yada yada. The whole thing would be excruciatingly unbearable were it not for one man, this film's one and only saving grace. And that man's name is Gary (Simon Peacock), who turns up again and again, right out of the blue, to warn the Americans not to stray off the path in those dangerous woods. Say what you will, but I think more horror films could use weirdo Scotsmen popping up now and again to utter dire warnings in a distinctively brogue tongue.

Let's be clear: this is a lousy horror movie with an atrocious ending. Yeah, it's good for a few laughs but that's it. The only good thing about it is the gore, but I obviously didn't find the film nearly as gory as some. Yeah, there's blood and entrails and all that good stuff, but it all looks fake. No one loves a good beheading more than I do, but the one in this film is just ridiculous. Of course, the gore would have been much more satisfying if we had been able to see the film as it was originally made. Sadly, Evil Breed: The Legend of Samhain is what is left after a significant amount of gore and nudity got snipped out of the original version. Why you would heavily edit the only two things going for you (in this case, nudity and gore) is beyond me; it's cinematic self-castration.
