I was pleasantly surprised by this movie because it is definitely better than IMDb or AMAZON reviews suggest. The real star of the show isn't Adam Huss but Dayton Knoll. His acting is spectacular and if he didn't receive some kind of award post-production, he should have. We leave the movie never knowing whether Adam H. 's character was raped or not,though his g/f obviously was. The director/writer should have gone one way or the other because, ultimately, they deliver a rather sexist message.....Huss' delicate feelings be spared! The film is on the level of Hostel (which I enjoyed too). The location sites, the "scary" rednecks", and the "innocence" of the campers all gloved together nicely. I didn't think it was a great film, but, I thought it was good film and one I would watch again.

Gifted director Matt Zettell sets the screen afire with horror in this incredibly intense film where suburbanite campers must fight for their very lives against unimaginable terror. Creating an atmosphere of unrelenting horror and dread, Zettell provides one shocking sequence after another. At times the starkly haunting imagery is overwhelming and one is forced to look away. The acting is uniformly superb with a cast that each delivers breathtaking performances. This is a film that constantly asks the question of what we would do if put in such a situation. Would we be able to do what it takes to survive? A film that reaches beyond the horror elements to confront the audience with existential matters seldom confronted in cinema.

Beautifully directed and photographed on location in Arkansas, Resurrection County is an electric horror movie that is original, creative, and finely crafted. The story of city people hiking in the woods and being pursued and violated by back country lunatics could well be clichéd. Not in this remarkable film. The characters are deeply developed and fresh. Even the villains are much more than murderous beasts out for blood. The humanity of all involved is explored and the extent civilized individuals are willing to go in order to live is wonderfully observed. The suspense never lets up and the thrills come one after another. An Award winning film of unusual quality.

Just another leftist BS hit piece based on lies and intended to gin up hatred toward Southerners and/or non-urbanites. The people who may find this tripe entertaining need to be closely watched and monitored. This is not entertainment, it is sick propaganda. That someone could put this to film, let alone imagine or write such garbage speaks volumes toward the downward spiral of humanity. Adding the low-hanging fruit of Christian bashing shows the creators as being true cowards as well. They dare not take on a real enemy. I'd suggest that the filmmakers and the others that enjoy this trash take a good long look in a mirror... and stay the hell away from me.
