After watching the Tom Cruise Mummy, I had vague recollections of a tiny English village with atmosphere to spare being terrorized by a humanoid creature. I recalled a film unfairly reviled because its beast looks like Judge Doom in the middle of the transition to cartoon form (...spoilers), but otherwise quite solid.

Memory can be a funny thing. It turns out it was an Irish village, and the creature FX were the least of this film's issues.
