It has nothing to do with the acting since anyone can be hateful, sociopathic, and devoid of any human qualities reference ISIS who are NOT acting. This movie shows the level we have sunk to provide "entertainment" and provide us with realistic social interaction. Sadism and terror can be found in most news stories today so why do we have to "enjoy" watching this kind of filth. Boris Karloff said that most horror does not have to be shown but implied because the mind will create more horrific images from ones own imagination. This is another slasher movie that tries to show as many ways of killing, in as many horrific ways as possible. These types of movies are now trying to one up each other with more and more ways of death and dismemberment. And to foster this off as being based on true events is even more degrading to the people who were involved in the "original" event and this particular genre. It also degrades the very concept of a group of people called "rednecks". The movie Deliverance shows the concept of redneck better than this so called movie.

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

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...

When it comes to bad horror films, "Resurrection County" is slightly above average. Winner of Best Horror Film at the Bare Bones Festival (whatever that is), it's a low budget, straight-to-DVD slasher flick that entices you with its R18+ rating. I can't really see the need for it myself. Most of the gore is left to your imagination.The plot owes heavily to the likes of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Wrong Turn"... to name a few. Two couples set up camp a little too close to a clan of Rednecks who "don't much like them city folk". Nothing new here. Fortunately it boasts a few genuinely intense moments and the acting isn't too bad. It sags a bit in the middle and it suffers from a few classic horror movie mistakes. Don't leave shotguns behind, don't waste bullets and don't stop for a quick smooch when you're surrounded by psychos. If you enjoy the occasional bad horror movie, you could do much worse than RESURRECTION COUNTY.Check out my IMDb List for some better suggestions.
