Inbred

Right now you can watch Inbred in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Philo — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. 141 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Watch it for Jo Hartley — stay for everyone else around them. Put it on tonight on Amazon Prime Video and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Inbred earns its spot. The jokes in Inbred land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Four young offenders and their workers spend a weekend in the remote Yorkshire village of Mortlake, which prides on keeping itself to itself. A minor incident with locals rapidly escalates into a blood-soaked, deliriously warped nightmare. Jo Hartley and Seamus O'Neill lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2011. Inbred earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Inbred respects your intelligence. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Jo Hartley anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
