Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

lol....the new definition of bad = madison country.....really really bad film, don't know where to begin and where to end.... acting, filming, characters, story, effects.....everything is bad. so ... the ending too, i don't understand how someone can bring out this piece of crap....to say some positive....the only good thing in this film is the cover, and that's all !do your self a favour....skip itrobertgreetings from cologne, Germany

I personally love Slasher flicks, 70's and 80's jump to mind. This film tries to take itself seriously and makes you feel like you're watching another version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacrer. I liked the blurb on the back and the cover seemed promising, however it failed to do anything new. Five young adults in their early 20's go on a road trip to a town in the middle of nowhere called Madison County to interview an author who wrote a tell all book about a local Psychopath named Damien, who butchered and killed 33 people and the town covered up the murders. When they arrive, the locals are not too happy to see them. You can guess the rest. Madison County tires to emulate three of the major horror franchises. Firstly it tires to be a gritty and unsettling much like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, small town with generic red necks and a sweet old lady who turns out to be in on the kills herself. The camera is shaky most of the time with close up's of rusted chains or hidden behind beams of a barn house, seeing only the back of peoples heads and again using the shaky cam to show you how gritty it is trying to be. Secondly it tires to build suspense much like Halloween except you get tired of watching these typical young people wonder around for the first 45 minutes of the movie, unlike Halloween where Michael himself was toying with his prey. Finally it tries to have violent and in your face kills much like Friday the 13th none of which are original.Damien is the pigged masked killer who like to throw his arms up and wale along with his victims trying his hardest to be demented again trying to be Leather Face but more evil. He walks with a bummed foot. It comes off as trying way too hard to be a new Slasher franchise for us Horror hounds to get into and Damien is the new poster boy for us to love and cherish like we do Michael, Jason, Freddy and Leather Face. the only good thing I can say about this movie,is a small quick scene near the end where the survivors miss seeing each other by a near second.This could have been a decent Slasher flick with it's premise, but it relies on tired over used clichés to bring in an audience. Madison County had promise, probably the reason I am so hard on it. It could have been a welcome change to the slasher genre.

If you only read the first couple of reviews for this movie you would think its one of the best Slasher flicks in a while, but in reality it is not only mediocre but it had perhaps one of the most laughable plot lines in horror history.Now the last thing I expect when going into a slasher flick is originality, so it didn't bother me that this movie was basically just a rip off of every other backwoods/small town horror movie ever made. What bothered me was the unlikeable characters, terrible dialogue, and just the pure dullness of the first hour or so of the movie. The all around feel of the movie just felt so unprofessional and all over the place. There is a point in the film where the characters just keep returning to this diner to talk to this elderly woman behind the counter (who is easily the worst actress in the film), this got incredibly repetitive and I found myself screaming "SOMEBODY JUST DIE ALREADY!"I saw that one of the other reviewers on here said that if you enjoyed Hills Have Eyes and Wrong Turn that you will enjoy this film, that statement couldn't be further from the truth. The Hills Have Eyes and Wrong Turn were two excellent horror films that kept you on the edge of your seat with bizarre kills and fast paced story lines. This movie puts you to sleep for an hour than ends in a not so bloody mess and leaves you wondering why you sat through the whole thing.Another mediocre slasher that manages to be worse than all the other copy cats out there. Avoid it, 1/10

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 ;)
