Many years ago, we were doing the West Highland Way. Having a pint on the Bridge over the Orchy at the hotel. The Sun started to go down, the midges came out to play, and suddenly all you could hear was swearing and people flapping their arms about. Felt quite sorry for the people camped by the river.
@@engineeredlifeform I was an extra in Monarch of The Glen. Never had a problem with the midgies around the loch, or up at the house, but I have memories of being shuttled through the woods to the accompanying screams of "shut the f'''''g windows"
@@engineeredlifeform we camped by the river behind that hotel one time we climbed Ben Dorain. In the morning, I sauntered out of the tent in a totally, "La la la, I'm in the countryside, life is beautiful" manner and I got about five steps from the tent before I was just engulfed, exactly like this trailer! Bolted back into the tent quicker than I've ever run in my life.
All the characters must die in this film, because there is no running from midgies, no hiding from midgies and no protection on Earth can stop them. Coming from the one of the Western Isles, I speak from experience.
@@knicknac95 oh shit and as a South Mississippi native who used to live near the leaf river I can say that the idea of cold weather mosquitoes is very concerning
@@knicknac95 But so much worse. You may get one or two mosquito bites in a night and not even notice, midges don't stop. They never stop. You can try and run away, they'll follow you... The horror...
It’s all true. As a native Scotsman I speak from experience. They’re smaller than mosquitoes yet you can literally see clouds of them when they gather together. They'll eat you alive!
Looks like the guy at the end torching the midges is based on Robert Hoon! Looks absolutely ridiculously funny, and I'm so glad the Scottish couple are talking slang too, makes it more authentic and funnier. Loved the trailer can't wait for the full Midge experience!! Well done Barry & Alessio and congratulations on your first movie together 🎉 Sharing this now 😃👌🏼
I've not been to a cinema in 20 years, but this playing would get me there!! Such a brilliant vibe from this trailer, makes me excited for the dark comedy genre again!!
With Barry at the writing helm, you know it's going to be hilarious and frightening at the same time. I hope it comes to the US, at least on streaming! This trailer is brilliant.
Lol, it's giving me PTSD flashbacks of the last time I stayed in Scotland, urrrrrrr, the horror. At least the characters in this film die so they don't have to put up with the itching.
Great - looking forward to the full movie being made. The trailer reminded me of the trailer for Aussie movie 'Black Sheep' - need to watch that again ...
Absolutely brilliant!😂 ...a word of warning for any African tourists heading to Scotland - Midges can fly through a mosquito net! (learnt the hard way)😅
I am South African, living in Ireland. I learned the hard way that midges here BITE, where in Africa they are just....there. Quickly bought myself a midge head net after standing in a swarm of them while trying to take pictures of the moon! Hahaha!
We call those "no-see-ums" in America, notoriously nasty in the spring months up in Maine and New Hampshire and such. They can come through window screens. Horrible things, excellent subject for a horror movie!
I am Japanese living in Scotland for a while. We have nasty mosquito back in Japan but the midges and horseflies in Scotland!!!! They are evil! I never forget an English female walker's face when we bumped into her on the Isle of Harris Eagle Observatory Walk. Her face and neck were absolutely covered with tiny red dots all over. I offered her my Smidge spray but she said no. She looked like she had a worst case of chickenpox ever...
@@studiomythic Yes. She told me it's too late to use it. But her eyes were red and very teary...I wonder til this day if she is still alive or not....😂
Summer 2023 I took my kids up to the top of the Cairngorms to do some tubing on the slopes and it was horrific!!! My parents wouldn't leave the car, my wife got bit to buggery, thankfully they don't like my blood so I escaped unscathed and the kids didn't give a shit as they were having a blast on the slopes. Those midgies though will forever live in my memories. It was insane.
Perfect timing, they're so bad this year in our area that my wife won't take the dogs out. I have to show her this, it's priceless, can't wait to see it.
I can't wait! Living in Australia I've heard of midges through reading many a Tartan Noir book (JDKirk and Stuart MacBride being my favourites.) We're known for our XL spiders here but Midges sound far, far worse.
The best line? Oh, he's not deaf; he's just English. Poor thing. LOL
😂😂😂
Emotional damage!
as an english man. i agree 🥲😂
Ah so they did make a documentary about the last time I was in Scotland.
Hahahahaha

Peed myself when she squirts that bit of repellent on his hand at the end.....brilliant comic timing!!

Are midgies supposed to be like some kinda fairies or something
@KevinBufkin-f8e Think of mosquitos that THRIVE in cold weather climates.

Once again Barry Hutchison has produced a superb, humorous storyline. This will be a must watch.
Can’t believe the writer of Space Team has done a movie!!!

Brilliant! A wee skoosh of Avon Skin So Soft 😂
Yer da sells Avon.
Ah, garnish
Audiences will swarm to this movie!
With Barry at the writing helm, you know it's going to be hilarious and frightening at the same time. I hope it comes to the US, at least on streaming! This trailer is brilliant.
Love Barry Hutchison books; Logan, Hoon, Filson and Space Team so I don't doubt this will be a fantastic film! Always hilarious.
Pure **buzzing** for this
I’m itching to see it .hope it’s up to scratch .
Yup, I laughed out loud. Hope the full film delivers on the promise of the trailer. 😀
Lol, it's giving me PTSD flashbacks of the last time I stayed in Scotland, urrrrrrr, the horror. At least the characters in this film die so they don't have to put up with the itching.
Brilliant! I support any film made in Scotland and this one about the scourge of being outdoors in Scotland looks good. Hope it does really well.
Essential viewing. Can't wait for the release.
You just know anything Barry comes up with is going to be epic! Can't wait!!!
What else has he made?
As a Scot i can confirm this is what we have to go thru on the daily 😢
Saw a sign on the English border inviting visitors to Scotland and some wag had added in marker "Warning: Midge alert for next 400 miles."
They have them too - beware the Yorkshire Dales. Lovely pubs with lovely beer gardens.........
I absolutely love your sense of humor. I hope you get this movie made, it couldn’t be any worse than any of the other movies that are being made.
Too funny! Has me itching & twitching already. Can't wait for the full feature. Let's get filming!
Really hope this gets made, looks fantastic!
Haha Barry bloody thats awesome!! I really cant wait for the full movie!
Great - looking forward to the full movie being made. The trailer reminded me of the trailer for Aussie movie 'Black Sheep' - need to watch that again ...
These visuals look stunning! Matched with that humour too! Oh gosh this will be a must watch for sure! 👏
This looks amazing!!! Can't wait for the movie!
Brilliance ... overshadowed by ... well ... a cacophony of killer MIDGIES! ;-)
This looks so good! 😂 👏
This looks incredible. Can't wait. Well done Alessio and team!
Love the Flamethrower! 😂😂 Overkill much?! 😂🔥🪰
it was a fairly big swarm, more like not enough
@ScottReid1980 yeah, I'd say 6 on the go all at once would do the trick
What I mean is - a flamethrower to kill midgies 😂 It’s part of the comedy aspect of the film 😁🎥
I think if you're Scottish, it's not too far off the mark...lol.
It is finally happening. I've so wanted the movie to happen. Can't wait!
I have a feeling this movie is heading straight to my all-time favorites list 😁
Absolutely brilliant!😂 ...a word of warning for any African tourists heading to Scotland - Midges can fly through a mosquito net! (learnt the hard way)😅

Liking these characters. Wonder what the rest will be like
This was shot like a proper Holywood movie. Color me impressed.
Can't wait to see the movie
Brilliant, can’t wait to see the whole thing!
Can't wait, looks really amazing Barry
Commando all the way! I just hope this will be available to watch in the USA!
👍
looks absolutely hilarious can't wait!
I saw the prequel live in Klamath Falls. Hungry little buggers, bats with distended bellies.
We call those "no-see-ums" in America, notoriously nasty in the spring months up in Maine and New Hampshire and such. They can come through window screens. Horrible things, excellent subject for a horror movie!
Can't wait, look forward to it 👍
Love these characters. Need to see more of them (if they survive of course!)
THE CANDLE AS HE'S BEING DRAGGED AWAY!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Looks amazing! Can’t wait to see the movie.
Cannae wait for this film to be out - love the concept
😂 Scotland dweller here, slap, don't know what all the fuss, slap, is about 😂
What a great trailer! Funny and intriguing in its own right without giving too much away.
Absolutely brilliant. I can’t wait for the full movie. Bring it on. 😂
Right.. so when preparing to visit Scotland, wear a hazmat suit. Gotcha.
I'm going on Monday very worried now.
They leave you alone if you wear a kilt. Try it! 🤣
@@someroob7915 I wiil.
Congratulations, my scalp is already itching like buggery.
Ditto
I'm kinda thinking Shaun of the dead,,but zombie midgies 😅
I would love it if the elderly couple are secretly the only survivors/the real heroes of the movie.
I have goose bumps all over! I can't wait ❤
From Space Team to Killer Midges!! Love it
Oh, my goodness, this looks like a total hoot! Funniest trailer I've seen in years!
"A bit of good old fashioned grit" lol
Can’t wait for the film!!
Reminds me of camping in Glencoe.😂
I’m so excited to see this. Funny Scottish folk written right!
Thank you!
I am Japanese living in Scotland for a while.
We have nasty mosquito back in Japan but the midges and horseflies in Scotland!!!!
They are evil!

She looked like she had a worst case of chickenpox ever...
She was using the willpower and grit method.
@@studiomythic Yes. She told me it's too late to use it. But her eyes were red and very teary...I wonder til this day if she is still alive or not....😂
First Terrifier 3 and now this? Indie horror is alive and well! 😂😅😂
The double skoosh will never not make me laugh.
that's where I laughed out loud!
Me too. So good.
Cant wait for the movie, looks fun!
Every experienced English tourist when revisiting Loch Lomond 2:53 🦟🦟🦟 🔥😂.
Haha, great stuff! Fingers crossed we can see more :)
Can't wait to see the whole thing!!
If the Loch Ness Monster disnae make a cameo appearance, I'm nae watching it. The noo.
This looks class!
This got me super excited for the full movie !!!!
Definitely watching this. I feel seen. If you need a couple of extras give me a DM
This has to get made!
Here this looks funny as fuck
I'm impressed bollockd we call them that here
Where is that you are from?
Need to see more of this!!!
No worse horror than the midges. Can't wait for this film. High time we turned the tables on them. Love the line, "do you want a wee sandwich?"❤ 😂😂😂
Love it , that’s funny x
Hilariously Scottish!
My god this is brilliant
OMG cannot wait for this!!!!!!!

The midges around here wait until you are half way in the field before they attack, crafty little feckers they are.
I don't even like horror movies but this looks brill!
Ahahahahaha was that Hoon and Berta?
Great. Having lived in Argyll for years it's so true😂😂😂
Awesome!
Perfect timing, they're so bad this year in our area that my wife won't take the dogs out. I have to show her this, it's priceless, can't wait to see it.
Bring on The Movie
Had to explain to a friend about midgies (we're in the US, but I'm of Scottish descent. I've encountered the wee beasties
)
the hipster outfits line was amazing
"I think we might need a bigger skoosh bottle"...to kinda paraphrase JAWS...
LOL can't wait, looks like it'll be hilarious )
I’m from Scotland west coast &
I can confirm I go through this kind of midgie apocalypse just to get my washing in off the line 😂
A wee piece and ham fixes everything.
I can't wait! Living in Australia I've heard of midges through reading many a Tartan Noir book (JDKirk and Stuart MacBride being my favourites.)
We're known for our XL spiders here but Midges sound far, far worse.
Loved the hand sanitizer scene at the end😂
Truly iconic 👏.
Loved the trailer. 😂
Me too..!!!!
OMFG 😂
Correct reaction. 👏
