Excellent, Without a doubt!!
... View MoreInstead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
... View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
... View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
... View MoreI was pleasantly surprised by this movie because it is definitely better than IMDb or AMAZON reviews suggest. The real star of the show isn't Adam Huss but Dayton Knoll. His acting is spectacular and if he didn't receive some kind of award post-production, he should have. We leave the movie never knowing whether Adam H. 's character was raped or not,though his g/f obviously was. The director/writer should have gone one way or the other because, ultimately, they deliver a rather sexist message.....Huss' delicate feelings be spared! The film is on the level of Hostel (which I enjoyed too). The location sites, the "scary" rednecks", and the "innocence" of the campers all gloved together nicely. I didn't think it was a great film, but, I thought it was good film and one I would watch again.
... View MoreGifted director Matt Zettell sets the screen afire with horror in this incredibly intense film where suburbanite campers must fight for their very lives against unimaginable terror. Creating an atmosphere of unrelenting horror and dread, Zettell provides one shocking sequence after another. At times the starkly haunting imagery is overwhelming and one is forced to look away. The acting is uniformly superb with a cast that each delivers breathtaking performances. This is a film that constantly asks the question of what we would do if put in such a situation. Would we be able to do what it takes to survive? A film that reaches beyond the horror elements to confront the audience with existential matters seldom confronted in cinema.
... View MoreI watch many a horror film, some good and some bad - I know what I like and I liked this very much.Whilst Resurrection County won't win any awards, my personal opinion is that it rose above many other films of its ilk by putting a different slant on the "rednecks" usually seen in movies of this type. The inhabitants of Enoch, in my opinion, were more of a religious/survivalist type who would for the most part, leave intruders alone - unless of course, they interfere in their world.I have no complaints about the acting or the effects and was surprised by the ending... my only complaint was the character of Lucy whom I found a bit irritating and Dayton Knoll reminded me of Corey Feldman - other than that, a rather solid little film.
... View MoreTwo urban couples head to the countryside for some downtime; however, they're quickly introduced to the other side of 'roughing it' in the wilderness when the men's ATV excursion makes a collision course straight for hell, where the locals aren't keen to strangers. After a standoff with a couple of ill-tempered hillbillies, the residents of Resurrection County go from hostile to downright murderous, out to avenge the death of one of their own.It's your run-of-the-mill redneck torture flick - city folks wander off into no man's land for some fresh air, only to end up being stalked (sometimes devoured, but not in this case) by a group of inbred loonies who possess the strength of Hercules and the Hulk combined. Lo and behold, the actors and actresses, a bunch of no-names, do a pretty damn decent job. The make-up department and special effects crew deserve a round of applause for creating very realistic blood and gore on a limited budget.It falters midway through, courtesy of some slow-moving and unnecessary scenes that should have ended up on the cutting room floor, as well as succumbing to the stereo-typical errors that characters in horror movies make. There is a shotgun scene in the beginning that will satisfy sadists but, while gory throughout, there really isn't much on-screen torture or anything that qualifies as extreme, not to veteran horror fans anyway.Although predictable, it's still intense with genuine performances, but lacks anything fresh or remarkable.
