Boys From County Hell - Interview with with Jack Rowan & Louisa Harland

Chris Baugh’s horror comedy Boys from County Hell is about a bunch of friends from a small town in Ireland that must face off against an ancient and malevolent force called Abhartach, that wishes to destroy everything they love.
Starring Jack Rowan (Noughts + Crosses), Louisa Harland (Derry Girls), Fra Fee (Hawkeye), Nigel O’Neill (from Baugh’s debut), and John Lynch (The Banishing, Isolation).
Boys from County Hell (originally a short film by Chris Baugh & Brendan Mullin) is a hell of a good time at the cinema. Drawing inspiration from ancient Irish folklore and intermingling it with modern satire Boys from County Hell is a twist on the genre that is greatly appreciated.
We were lucky enough to interview two of the stars from the film, Jack Rowan and Louisa Harland and we discussed, horror, comedy and what other monsters that they’d like to see show up in their town.

BOYS FROM COUNTY HELL - PLOT
Welcome to Six Mile Hill, a sleepy Irish backwater whose only claim to fame is the somewhat dubious local legend that Bram Stoker once spent a night in the local pub. It’s home to Eugene Moffat, a young man who fills most of his days drinking pints with his friends and pranking tourists who come to visit the gravesite of Abhartach, a legendary Irish vampire some believe to have inspired ‘Dracula.’
When a personal tragedy forces Eugene to go and work for his gruff, no-nonsense father he finds himself on the site of a controversial new road development that threatens to destroy the town’s livelihood. But strange events unfold when Eugene and the crew tear down a famous cairn believed to be the final resting place of Abhartach and they soon come under attack from a sinister force that has infected one of their workmates. As the night closes in The Boys must fight for survival while discovering the true horror of a myth that hits much closer to home than any of them realise…
Boys From County Hell is now showing in Irish cinemas with a premiere happening in August 2021
