A-Z Horror Movie of the Day..."Madison County" (R - 2011 - US)Sub-Genre: SlasherMy Score: 5.4Cast=4 Acting=5 Plot=4 Ending=7 Story=5 Scare=5 Jump=5 F/X=6 Blood=7 Twist=6A group of college kids travel to a small, mountain town called Madison County to interview the author of a tell-all book on the accounts of several grisly murders that happened there.Pretty much your basic stasher...college kids...mountain town...killer in a pig mask...nothing you haven't seen before. There is some solid blood and the ending had a little bit of originally to it. At best this is a mediocre slasher flick...I enjoyed it enough, as it had some of the elements I wanted in the genre. You could certainly do better, fellow horror lovers...but you could do a lot worse.

Another great Halloween buy at my local Pound store. Or so I thought!Madison County is an indie horror that falls flat on its face by boring the viewer for the first 45 minutes, then torturing them with mild horror as the cliché bunch of all American teens run about screaming and flexing muscle... somewhat.On that, the cast was okay. Not bad, but not great!Direction was okay. Not bad, but could have been a lot better to help bring more excitement to things.I had high hopes for Madison County, but alas it was a one time watch that helped me sleep.Oh, what could have been!

Wow lots of horrible reviews for this one so I had to weight in on it as the defendant. First of all backwoods and films about exorcism really have no chance to be great with those two dark ominous clouds hanging over their respectable heads in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Exorcist. You make a backwoods film like TCM and people say you ripped it off . You make one completely different than TCM and people complain. I feel Madison County was a great little addition to our backwoods sub-genre. Come on people what makes these films good is the usual formula. Kids meet.....kids stop at creepy gas station......kids meet creepy locals.......kids are warned to stay out of the woods......kids don't listen......mayhem ensues.... Simple as that and if the acting is descent you will have a good little picture. Now Madison County is no masterpiece but it does have a great looking villain that is creepy. The gore is mostly left to the imagination...Hello original TCM and it is tightly packed into 80 or so minutes so it doesn't overstay its welcome. Please if you haven't seen this, ignore the horrible reviews crack open a beer or cider sit back and enjoy......and remember this is a step son to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and not the real deal. I'm out....................

Madison county is Maybe one of the best slasher films in awhile.it has great characters,great acting and some fairly violent death scenes.the first 50 minutes of the movie is spent on character development and the kids trying to figure out where a famous author is,who wrote a book about a serial killer named Damien Ewell.after the 40 or 50 minute mark,the first death happens.the deaths are pretty generic,nothing inventive or new.mostly just stabbings.though a few kills are pretty cool,such as one of the college kids getting a baseball bat shoved through his mouth or one guy getting enticed by two topless women before getting a knife to the stomach.the characters are pretty likable,with a few exceptions.by far my favorite was Jenna,she was sweet and strong.putting her own life in danger to save her friends.SPOILERS!It was so sad when she died,when her and Brooke are hiding and Damien is about to find Brooke,Jenna runs off to distract him.she manages to get the Axe from him and almost kills him,but he over powers her and he starts to mimic her screams as he hacks her to death with the Axe.The ending is pretty good too,but i wont spoil that.you'll have to watch the movie ;)
