After a night of carousing the amateur photo model Zina heads for a fashion shoot in nature, accompanied by the ambitious Mia, apathetic Dragica and snobby photographer Blitcz. On their way to the location they come across some odd locals, but pay them no attention. On an idyllic meadow that they chose as their location, they are violently attacked by its supposed owners Francl and Vintlr. Thus an ordinary fashion shoot in nature turns into a fierce fight for survival… Idyll plays with the genre pattern of a horrifying confrontation between rural an urban. Underneath the basic story structure there are some subtly positioned problematic themes that modern-day Slovene as well as general society faces nowadays. It is a dark reflection of the world we live in.

On the idyllic location, a supposedly ordinary fashion shoot soon turns into a fierce fight for survival. KILLBILLIES is your standard gory horror wilderness movie in the same vein as MANHUNT or the WRONG TURN franchise. It involves some youthful characters who decide to go on an idealistic camping trip in the woods only to fall foul of some mutant redneck characters with murder in mind.<br/><br/>In other words, this film has EXACTLY the same storyline as a dozen others you could mention and indeed it plays out in a completely predictable way. The only thing that makes it stand apart from the crowd is that it was made in Slovenia, but when the filmmakers simply copy the Hollywood style without adding any local colour it doesn't really matter anyway.<br/><br/>Saying that, this is a cut above the usual shot on video fare and at least it looks pretty decent for its genre. The make up is suitably horrid and the graphic gore scenes are done in a fairly convincing way. The main actress isn't too bad either. It's just a pity they couldn't have made something even a little bit original. Just watched a truly superior horror film from Slovenia with subtitles. This is definitely a must-see, the production is amazing, the acting is great, and the script is extremely frightening with great graphic kills.<br/><br/>I absolutely love "Killbillies (2015)", it delivers the goods on all levels, and is better than most American horror films I've seen lately.<br/><br/>A photo shooting crew with two models and the photographer, go to an area they certainly should have stayed away from. Shortly, a couple of hillbillies capture them, putting them in a room while they prepare to use them to create an alcoholic beverage everyone loves. totally bizarre to say the least.<br/><br/>I can't rate this gem any higher, You really need to see this one. I absolutely loved it.
