| Boys From County Hell | comment |
Boys From County Hell is a 2020 Irish horror comedy film, directed by Chris Baugh, and co-written by him and Brendan Mullen.Our setting is the fictional Northern Irish hamlet of Six Mile Hill - a one-horse town whose only claim to fame is Bram Stoker supposedly visiting once and getting inspired to write Dracula from the local legend of Abhartach. A pile of stones with a skull on top is a semi popular tourist attraction that brings some excitement...at least until the new bypass gets built over the site. Locals aren't too happy towards local layabout Eugene Moffat (Jack Rowan), because his father is heading the construction project.As expected, there may also be some grain of truth to the local legends, and building this road may also be a worse idea than imagined. Louisa Harland and John Lynch also star. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Boys From County Hell / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Played with. The skull that Eugene finds in the basement doesn't prove useful on its own, but it does clue him in that his house is built over Abhartach's lair. The second act taking place in an undertaker's house means there's a ready supply of coffins to subdue a vampirized William. Charlie's bottle of whiskey being found in George's van clues them in that he's responsible. | |

The Leader | |
| Boys From County Hell / int_60e49895 | comment |
Eugene is said to be a screw-up because he's unemployed and drinking a lot at the start. Except, he sensibly goes into work with his father to finance a move to Australia, and assembles a team of locals to help out with construction who'd otherwise avoid the project due to Francie being a Bad Boss. He presumably had to train Claire and SP, and even gets good work out of the local drunk. And when the horror starts happening, it's Eugene who's the most proactive with his quick thinking. This could be justified by Francie being overly hard on him. | |

Obscured Special Effects: Used for typical Monster Delay in Abharthach's case, where he mostly appears in shadow or out of focus until the climax of the movie. Also present in a subtler sense in the epilogue, where Francie has replaced his missing limb with a peg leg, but he's only filmed from above the waist, saving the effects team from having to digitally remove the actor's leg. | |

Foreshadowing: After William's death, it's said that George wants to take the body home. The police lampshade how unusual this is. | |

Our Vampires Are Different: You become one by getting cut with one of the stones on Abhartach's grave, are impossible to kill and can only be trapped underground. Sunlight also doesn't work. | |

Due to the Dead | |
| Boys From County Hell / int_a679184b | comment |
Due to the Dead: Eugene, SP and Claire list the things they like about William to his father. Francie gets in trouble when all he can say is "he had really good manners". | |

Informed Flaw | |
| Boys From County Hell / int_af2547c9 | comment |
Informed Flaw: Eugene is said to be a screw-up because he's unemployed and drinking a lot at the start. Except, he sensibly goes into work with his father to finance a move to Australia, and assembles a team of locals to help out with construction who'd otherwise avoid the project due to Francie being a Bad Boss. He presumably had to train Claire and SP, and even gets good work out of the local drunk. And when the horror starts happening, it's Eugene who's the most proactive with his quick thinking. This could be justified by Francie being overly hard on him. He's also blamed for the accident that gets William killed. While they were out drinking late, Eugene still made sure he walked him home and had a light on his phone to make sure they wouldn't get lost or have an accident. William being gored to death by one of his own father's animals was completely out of Eugene's hands, the blame lying entirely on George for not controlling the pig. | |

Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch | |
| Boys From County Hell / int_afd446fc | comment |
Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch: Eugene and his friends seem to have a low opinion of Dracula initially, feeling like the town that provided the local legend doesn't get enough credit for inspiring one of the most famous characters in all of fiction. At the end, when Eugene finally reads the book, he admits that it's actually very good. | |

"Ugly American" Stereotype | |
| Boys From County Hell / int_b32d9d96 | comment |
"Ugly American" Stereotype: Well, they're Canadians, but the two tourists at the start. The man in particular seems very disdainful of horror and does little but complain. Downplayed in the case of his girlfriend, who seems to be really interested in all the history. | |

Jerkass: The Stoker's landlord kicks Eugene and SP out purely because the town blames them for William's death and the impending bypass. William's mother Pauline is nothing but hostile towards Eugene, and even foils their attempts to kill his vampire self. Francie is cranky and rarely goes a scene without complaining about something. | |
