I just came across a trailer for a new indie shock-fest called RESURRECTION COUNTY. It kind of looks like a wilderness version of WOLF CREEK right down to the “Based on actual events” being flashed across the screen. That’s not to say that it doesn’t show any promise. Take a head-on-a-stick stab at the plot:
Based on actual events, what was supposed to be a weekend of fun and adventure in the backwoods of Arkansas, turns out to be a nightmare for four adults from Memphis, Tennessee.
When Sam (Dayton Knoll) and Tommy (Adam Huss) get lost while ATVing, Sam decides to seek help from the locals. The two soon realize that they have stumbled onto a religious compound led by the Parson (Robert Miano) and one of his followers, Stag (Rus Blackwell) who don’t like outsiders interfering with their way of life. When Tommy gets scared and kills one of the locals, all hell breaks out in Resurrection County.
It sounds like your basic survivalist horror, but I do like the religious compound aspect. It puts a bit of a different spin on the bad guys normally wedged within this genre. RESURRECTION was helmed by Matt Zettell from a script by James Cotton & Matt Yeager. It’s currently in postproduction and is set to be completed in July of 2008. Have a look at the trailer directly below.
