Here is the exciting new trailer for Eric England's new horror, mystery, thriller MADISON COUNTY (not the one with the bridges), starring Ace Marrero, Colley Bailey, Adrienne Harrell, Matt Mercer, Nick Principe, Joanna Sotomura, and Natalie Scheetz.

Madison County is another prime example of what a creative team of 'hungry' filmmakers can accomplish on a shoe-string budget. Referring to themselves as "filmmakers for today's economy," the film was produced for under $80,000. Taking full advantage of their resources, and judging from the trailer, Madison appears to be a well-crafted film that is reminiscent of the of horror films I feverishly fed on growing up -- you know, the kind that actually were chock-full of frightful scares. Looks promising.

Special effects make-up work was handled by Almost Human, Inc. ("Paranormal Activity 2," "Devil"), and alert fans may have recently caught a glimpse of killer Damien Ewell's face on Late Night with Carson Daly, along with creature designer Robert Hall (of Almost Human).

Writer/director Eric England, producer Daniel F. Dunn, and actor/producer Ace Marrero all met in 2008 on England's thesis film, and in 2009 went on to produce his first feature film, "Hostile Encounter," which led to acquiring financing for Madison. England, Marrero, and Dunn are currently preparing for an April shoot on their next feature film, "ROADSIDE." That project will find England and Marrero teamed up once again (as writer/director and starring actor, respectively).

Could Madison County become the next cult franchise? Only time will tell, but these filmmakers -- with an average age of 25 -- are betting (and biting) on it.
