Hey peeps! We've posted a few articles on the upcoming horror film Madison County (not to be mistaken with that other Madison County movie) and today we have the trailer debut for you to check out. This cool looking film is written and directed by Eric England and stars Ace Marrero, Colley Bailey, Adrienne Harrell, Matt Mercer, Nick Principe, Joanna Sotomura and Natalie Scheetz. Damien is our newest horror icon!
Plot:
Madison County is about a group of college kids that travel to a remote, mountain town called Madison County to interview the author of a tell-all book on the accounts of the grisly murders that happened in the town over two decades ago. Upon their arrival, the author is no where to be found and the townspeople state that they’ve “not seen him in years.” They also deny that Damien Ewell, the notorious murderer, ever existed and that the murders never happened. As the kids start to dig around to get their own answers, they come to find that the stories, and Damien, maybe more real than the townspeople are letting on.
