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!

To be honest this film is pretty bad..... I paid £8 in Tesco and will definitely say it is not worth that price so Tesco you need to review your price on this. at least I can say I have watched it...... but what down turn for the ending didn't expect that at all......I would say don't buy this film but if you see it on your mates shelf then by all means waste an hour and a half of your life :) the film.reminds me.of.The wrong turn and house of wax. the story line is pretty similar. seems to me the film is slightly low budget too. If the film had pretty good ending then I might of rated it a little higher than a 3. An ending where it shows the survivors returning with help maybe the police from another county or maybe the Army or something.

Madison County was slow. It gets good for about a half an hour, and then ends, leaving you with a big "?". Even the most easy-going viewer will walk away from this movie saying wtf. . .not in a good way. I have no issue's with the theme of the movie. It's a backwoods slasher flick, and if you wanted to see something else, you shouldn't have watched a backwoods slasher flick. I don't think the makers of this movie were trying to fool anyone into thinking it was anything more than that. The problem, is that the movie doesn't have an ending. The "end" doesn't answer a single question you have going into it, and actually adds a few extra for good measure.*Spoiler-ish* I'm not saying there's anything wrong with leaving your bad-guy alive at the end of the movie. That's a solid way to leave the viewer thinking about the movie after it ends, and sleeping with the lights on for a day or two. But consider Saw (completely different type of movie, but i'm using it as an example). Jigsaw stays alive at the end, killing off all the victims, and leaving his viewer terrified. He does, however, eventually show his real face, and explain his point, which makes him interesting.If you're going to watch the movie, just skip to the last 45 minutes, and expect there to not be an ending. It's about a group of young adults going into the middle of nowhere to meet the man who wrote the book on Damien, a serial killer who lives in Maddison County. When they get there, some of the townspeople claim that Damien doesn't exist, and the ones who admit that he does, are still of no help. If you read the last two sentences, you do not need to watch the first half of this movie. The movie is about an hour and 20 minutes long. It was a good idea, but needed some tweaking. Like, remove the entire middle half an hour from the movie, put the "end" where it belongs (in the middle...), and add an ending. Poof!! Good movie.

Besides being mediocre, this film was a straight pile of crap. Kitchen knives with double-sided blades, shovels as a main murder weapon, and a whole damn town in on a murderous conspiracy? WTH. Oh, and what the hell kind of undergraduate major writes a thesis about a pseudo-nonfiction book and the town it concerns? Is that for the Bachelor's of Science in Utter Crap? The idea for this movie had a great deal of potential, but it was poorly realized and executed.Also, guns. This is America, there are plenty of people exercising their 2nd amendment rights, so how is it that there is an entire town of people without a. single. freaking. gun.?!
