It is always a good thing when a horror movie is disturbing. Resurrection County is just such a film. To be released on DVD March 20th through Mti Home Video, this film will change that nice comfortable feeling you have starting the film into something a little more dangerous and thrilling. Two couples are reduced to one as four friends start a nightmarish camping trip in hillbilly country. The result is a lot of cat and mouse scenes, some very unsettling incidents and a slightly sour final scene.
Sam (Dayton Knoll) is the lead in the film, but that position changes quickly. After Sam and Tommy (Adam Huss) unearth a meth' lab, two rednecks turn a bad situation into something worse with antagonistic words and gunfire.

Resurrection County is a film that was shot in Arkansas and recently the film was shown at the '09 Afm. Director Matt Zettell's lush cinematography is broken up by bloodthirsty locals who hope to make four campers' holiday a nightmare. Very gutsy and brutally violent Resurrection County now has a homepage, trailer, and synopsis for readers to enjoy. Have a look at prepare yourself for a future release date.
A synopsis for Resurrection County here:
"A warning to outsiders! When traveling through Resurrection County, mind the signs, one false move out there could be your last. When four suburbanite campers roll into the remote town of Enoch, they find that southern hospitality still exists. But things are not what they appear to be, as a weekend camping trip turns deadly. The locals are all too happy to serve up their own brand of an eye for an eye justice.

Entitled Cellar Door 2: Preymate, Zettell (pictured l to r with Resurrection County screenwriter James Cotton and stars Kathryn Michelle and Adam Huss) revealed of the film’s plot, “Herman has been locked away in a institution for the criminally insane.

Penned by Chris Nelson who scripted the first in the now-burgeoning series, actors James DuMont and Michelle Tomlinson return...
