I love slasher movies. I like torture movies. I totally enjoy redneck movies. This might be a good film but I will never know. Because I switched it off shortly after a big boot stepped on a very cute little rat at the end of the opening scene. I mean the same person stepped on a pregnant woman right at the beginning, which seemed a promising start of mindless violence but when it comes to animals I cant take it. I just hope it was CGI. Because if it wasn't I couldn't enjoy the rest of the movie anyway as it would have been made by people who don't understand the first thing about the horror genre. There is not much else to say really. OK, I made it to the first scene and when I heard and saw the two first actresses I had all my fears confirmed. It's a 1* for me. There is better out there.Added later: Thankfully I did find out that it was CGI. So what I will have to do now is watch the whole thing and maybe up the vote appropriately once I have done. Thanks to the person who took the time to message me!

What can I say - I'm a fan of this sort of horror-gore-torture films, and this was right up my alley. It played out a lot like "Carver", another excellent horror movie. There were some original methods used to kill people in the film, and the bad guys were especially gruesome. I guess I'm in the minority when I say I loved this movie, but it just goes to show that there isn't any one style of movie that is right or wrong. If you like the horror-gore genre, I definitely recommend you check this out. If you are more concerned with quality acting, then don't (although I will say that I was so focused on the action that I didn't notice anything wrong with the acting, although the foreign accent did seem a bit odd.)

first ill say stick with this movie or you will miss-what ill call a great low budget movie.. when i watched this i was glued to my screen and thoroughly enjoyed from start to end.. if this had a bigger budget it (in my books) could of been a big hit.. OK the acting not 100% and the effects are not all that good, (hence small budget). but i promise if you stick with this movie you will enjoy,, especially if you are a horror fan such as wrong turn,, hills have eyes,,and and other twisted horrors. ...warning do not watch if a little afraid of blood as there are some scenes that could offend your angelic nature,,, the brutality how-ever made the movie for me.. i'm giving this film a eight out of ten if the budget were in the same region as some higher profile films such as wrong turn id have rated higher.. but in my eyes i see low budget films as having heart to them where some high budget films have nothing but glamorous shots and over paid actors who simply just cant act.

"Madness" is about a group of blond-haired cheerleaders (who actually look like they're 30-plus) and male travellers who end up becoming the prey of sadistic rednecks in the middle of nowhere. They're on their way to Minnesota, although that's totally irrelevant. Get ready for some male bondage style torture as the film unfolds - but don't hold your breath: most of it is done off-camera. The female actors disappear from the movie pretty fast. It's all quite confusing.The movie starts off as what apparently promises to be another blood-drenched horror movie from the league of "The Hostel" with some quality gore and a horrific forced abortion scene... it's all very promising, that is, until the actors actually start to speak! It's hard to tell what the director Sonny Laguna actually wanted this film to be. Is it about a group of wannabe Americans from Sweden travelling around the US of A, and insisting on ignoring their mother tongue when they are together? In that case, their strong Scandinavian accents could perhaps be forgiven. As it turns out, the director seems to have wanted to use Swedish actors to pass for Americans, and the result will only make viewers cringe, as it is totally unconvincing, unnatural and just plain wrong. Then we find the villains speaking what must be Swedish, although we're in redneck country... which does nothing but add to the confusion. Apart from a few quality scenes of gore, actors with insufficient English language skills were used in an American setting, and this seriously affects the movie right from the start. It's difficult to determine what type of audience this film is aimed at. It will presumably only be a box office success in those parts of the world where people have poor knowledge of English. It merits no more than a 3 out of 10.
