- 80EmpireEmpireCombining genuine emotional stakes, biting black humour and enough blood and dismembered limbs to satisfy even seasoned gorehounds, Chris Baugh’s terrific, unorthodox vampire flick has got it where it Counts.
- 67IndieWireKate ErblandIndieWireKate ErblandBy the time Boys from County Hell works its way to its final face-offs, the film’s good humor and care for its characters is just as appealing as the gore. Vampire hounds might balk, but Boys from County Hell has it right: This is a story about people, not monsters.
- 60The Irish TimesDonald ClarkeThe Irish TimesDonald ClarkeThe unreal feels real. The real feels even more real. A decidedly decent slice of bog horror.
- 50The PlaylistKevin JagernauthThe PlaylistKevin JagernauthThere’s a more rewarding film in here had The Boys From County Hell pushed the humor a bit further, and pitched the scares a touch higher.
- 38RogerEbert.comNick AllenRogerEbert.comNick AllenVampire stories can be so rote that it’s noticeable when the rules are even slightly changed, and that's when Boys from County Hell shows a little spark. But this is more the clear case of a horror movie that forgets to have fun.
