When your film is titled “Killbillies“, you have to be absolutely certain of two things above anything else:

  1. No matter what; do NOT take yourself too seriously.
  2. You better be brutal as fuck.

While I haven’t laid eyes on the film myself just yet (review dropping soon), the fine folks at Artsploitation Films are calling this one a violent rampage of sexually depraved hillbillies. If it sounds like you’ve heard that one a thousand times before, it’s because you have–but instead of taking place in American south with stereotypical depictions of dudes named Jim-Bob and Cleatus, KILLBILLIES heads to the hills of Slovenia. In fact, it’s being pitched as Slovenia’s first ever horror film. I haven’t confirmed that to be true, but fuck it. Right?

Check out the debut trailer below for what is almost certain to be a ridiculously brutal and bloody good time. KILLBILLIES hits DVD and VOD platforms on October 25th. Stay tuned for the full review.

Plot Synopsis
Proving that the American South does not hold a monopoly on sexually depraved, bloodthirsty hillbillies, Killbilllies (aka: Idyll,Idila) depicts a harrowing tale of abduction, violence and hoped-for survival, in Slovenia’s first ever horror movie. A group of fashionistas from the city, including models Zina and Mia, make-up artist Dragica and photographer Blitcz, begin to shoot on an idyllic countryside hilltop. But soon, two physically deformed psychopathic countrymen approach them and quickly attack. After the terrified group finds themselves chained in a basement and awaiting their gruesome fate, they decide they must fight no matter what the odds. A wild, bloody, taut clash ensues between urban and rural, women and men, between savages and civilized man. A fresh, sadistic take on such classics as The Hills Have Eyes and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
