Madison County (2011)
Very well done slasher film!
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 ;)
Boggy Creek (2010)
It was.....very average
This movie looked like it had so much going for it,but sadly it fails at almost everything.first off nothing happens for the first hour and five minutes.there were maybe four kills in that time,three of which where off-screen.during that time all we get is a bunch of kids wondering around the swamp doing nothing.the acting was pretty bad,there's so many times throughout the movie where the kids overact things and turn a scene thats suppose to be heart wrenching into a soap opera.another thing is you would think since this is a b movie about college kids getting killed by Bigfoot,that there would be tons of nudity,but sadly there is none and its not that there wasn't any nudity,its the fact that there was about five scenes where a chick gets topless but all you see is her back.if your not gonna have nudity,don't have chicks get naked to tease us.the one good thing about this movie is the effects.the Bigfoot makeup looked good and there were a few good looking kills and now the ending....it sucked.period.it was just so abrupt and there were so many scenes that were meant to be scary,but the acting made them funny as hell.here is just a brief summary of some of the things that were wrong with it... SPOILERS!!
-first,we spend an entire hour getting to now these kids,but they all get killed off in twenty minutes or less. -Theres a scene were the last two girls are in their tent and Bigfoot is right outside their tent and one of them whispers to the other "if you ignore it,it will go away". -one of the girls just collapses and the other has to carry her down a hill -the last girl runs right into the arms of a man with a gun,but what does she do?..she runs away from him and deeper into the swamp -she makes it to a highway,but instead of running full speed for it,she just stands there and then collapses when she sees Bigfoot.
Over all this was a pretty bad movie,that could have been so much better
Tucker and Dale vs Evil (2010)
A New Cult Classic To Watch On Halloween!!
This movie is by far the best horror comedy in years.It has plenty of laughs and gory set pieces.The basic plot is like every other slasher flick,a group of young college kids go into the woods to camp,which just so happens to be the sight of a massacre years prior.after one of the college kids is rescued from drowning by two funny kind hearted hillbilly's,the rest of the kids mistake this rescue as a kidnapping and quickly panic.What follows is a Fun roller-coaster ride of laughs,bloody misunderstandings and a few twist along the way.this film is made very well and the script is solid.this is a must see for any horror fan who loves dark comedy's in the vein of the evil dead and Shaun of the dead!
Sweatshop (2009)
Great 70's grind house style slasher film!
First off this film isn't for everyone,if your looking for a actual plot or deep characters than this movie isn't it.But thats what makes it even more awesome!the basic plot is about a group of teenage ravers getting stalked and killed by a masked killer while trying to set up a rave.If you like 70's and 80's slasher flicks this film is perfect for you,its almost like someone found a lost slasher from the early 70's and its just know getting released.this film has everything you could ask for in a slasher film.over the top gory kills,tons of nudity and plenty of drug use.this film is destined for cult status in a few years and i feel sorry for any fan of slasher films who miss it.also their is not a single scene of crappy cgi everyone of the kills is completely practical and looks super gory and graphic,especially the ending!
