Resurrection County

Stop me if you've heard this one before: two couples are on a camping trip. En route, they fill up at a gas station, where one of the local rubes tries to come on to a female member of the party. They also meet a seriously dodgy cop. On the road again, they soon realise they are knee deep in redneck territory... when a naked man covered in tattoos tries to kill them during an unscheduled stop. They eventually arrive at their destination, and the lads decide to go motocrossing. Ignoring every single 'Keep Out' and 'No Trespassers' sign (And there's a LOT of them) they go way off the beaten track.. and run into some more of the local inbreds. Things quickly escalate from there...

I could name at LEAST 5 films with almost exactly the same scenario off the top of my head. Either this proves how worn out the storyline is, or I need to stop watching so many cheapo horror flicks. Regardless, it's as ugly and brutal as you'd expect just by looking at the cover. In the latter stages, there's almost nothing but torture and abuse, all 'lovingly' shot in close up by our voyeuristic director so we don't miss a drop of blood. Thanks, mate. That's not all: One of our leading ladies is PREGNANT. Think they might lay off her? Guess again. In fact, she probably gets the WORST suffering out of all them. Talk about taking no prisoners...

At least, if so inclined, you can get a slightly sick thrill out of these scenes. The rest of what's here is pretty much useless, including chase sequences that go on forever, some mushy relationship stuff and an old preacher (who seems to be the leader of this freak community) blathering on about how all of America is corrupt and unclean, apart from their neck of the woods. I... can't even ... describe how deluded... that is. Taken all into consideration, this maybe would have been better with the 15 or so minutes of serious gore all spliced together to make a fake snuff film. Let's face it... the main audience for this aren't going to be interested in the rest of the nonsense on display, are they? 4/10

As a fan of Redneck Torture Porn, I became aware a long time ago of the narrow range within which the plot lines of nearly all movies of this type fall. A group of good looking young people venture into the backwoods, typically in the South, looking for adventure -- in this case, ATV riding. They stop for gas, a couple of them mumble some insulting remarks that are picked up on by the locals and then drive off to find a detour where there is never, ever cell phone coverage. "Resurrection County" is no different in many ways. But in others, it is quite watchable. The actors who play the locals are quit believable and a event relatively early in the story was so unexpected that it took my breath away. That scene in itself is worth the price of a Redbox rental. Critics who complain that there isn't a lot new here need to get a life. What did you expect?... for a pretty city girl to go off and marry an in-bred townie? Give this one a chance.

I thought the actors were great new refreshing and very believable southern accents seemed real and authentic... The scenery was as beautiful as it was haunting and dark . The blood and graphics were awesome they looked very real especially when they got hit in the head with the butt if a gun very good detail... when the first guy got it I was shocked and what happened to the first girl just blew me away I did not expect that at all I absolutely was on the edge of my seat thru a lot of it especially toward the end . The ending was awesome unexpected and very unique . I was completely shocked and surprised by it , can't wait to see it again . I will watch Resurrection County again...

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was not about torture, but an unusually deranged family who were violent in some original and creative ways inspired by Wisconsin serial killer Ed Gein. The film is an incomparable and timeless cinematic masterpiece which culminates in a terrifyingly bizarre dinner party.

This film conversely, is the typical overdone torture porn movie - the only similarity being the kids encounter rednecks in the country - with that empty don't-need-a-reason attitude. A perfect demonstration of how torture flicks don't belong in the horror genre due to their general omission of anything scary or creative - only unimaginative meaningless torture.

I couldn't finish watching Resurrection County. Mainly because it was disturbing in a most unoriginal way. And also because the script and interaction between characters was shallow and unbelievable. And it was just too boring.

So I was in the mood to watch a stereotypical bad horror movie and I settled on this due to decent reviews. I was very surprised mostly by how realistic the villains were in this one. They are more like people that we have met or even know rather than your run-of-the-mill typical inbred stupid rednecks you tend to see in these movies. This movie sets up the norm and then has an early (edge of your seat disturbing) scene in the first quarter and then kind of dies out a bit before gearing back up again. I was surprised at the character left standing but I saw the ending coming a mile away. Maybe I've just seen too many of these movies.

The acting and effects are believable. The story is pretty realistic (most of the time.) I was going to give 6 stars but I gave it 7 because it was on my mind for a couple days after watching it. I personally enjoyed this movie.
