Doomsday County



A fun, action-packed bit of neo-grindhouse glory
The film industry today is absolutely exploding with homages to the storied tradition of grindhouse cinema. Grindhouse cinema, a tradition focusing on sleazy, exploitative films with low-budget production values, gritty visual styles, and tendencies towards camp, schlock, gore, and sexual imagery that often borders on pornography, has a universal appeal towards the prurient interest which has been tapped into in increasing volumes over recent years, spurred on by releases such as the Tarantino/Rodriguez anthology film, appropriately titled "Grindhouse."

A fun horror/action romp
I am proud to say that I have seen this wonderful gem of a film. Four stories in one all centered around a tiny area called Doomsday County, this movie throws punches and takes no names. If you are a fan of fun and love Troma, I highly suggest you enjoy this with a big bowl of popcorn and some Woodchuck ciders with a green apple Twizzler as the straw. You'll laugh. You just might cry. A good time is sure to be had by seeing this movie. But beware; if you are prone to fun-times induced heart attacks or good-times abdominale cramps, then you are in trouble my friend.

In six words: Let's party with John Archer Lundgren.

OMG
