Berkshire County (2014)

Wow. What a waste of time was this. "Berkshire County" has no redeemable values other than the county it was filmed in is beautiful to the eyes. Other than that it wasn't worth the effort.The writer and director of this film don't have an original bone in their body. Everything in "Berkshire County" can be seen anywhere else - the pig mask (the "Saw" movies), the sliced throat (every other horror film since "Long Kiss Goodnight"), and of course, every horror cliché in the book - the idiot cops being getting killed off summarily, the phone that suddenly doesn't work, the scared-to-death heroine who suddenly grows a pair and takes off the bad guys single handedly, the killer is still alive, of course, etc. etc.I'm beginning to think that horror films on the level of "The Exorcist" will never be made again. That's too bad. With all the killings going on in the world you'd think filmmakers would draw inspiration from them. I guess not. Don't waste your time with this movie. I tortured myself already so you don't have to. You're welcome.

The movie was pretty average. The story was pretty predictable there were some twists through out the movie but everyone could have guessed those. the beginning was unnecessary and didn't add anything to the story.The setting was classic but was pretty well done and scary , a big mansion with lots of rooms and hiding places inside of the woods isolated from the city.The bad guys looked scary but there is no info given about who they really are and what their motives are to kill. In a movie like the Wrong turn you know the bad guys are inbred, live in a small house in the woods and kill people to eat them because they are cannibals. in this movie you just have to guess all these things about the bad guys.I really enjoyed there was no over the top gore. people just got killed and that's it just some blood but no whole waves of blood coming out of someone The ending was really over the top and didn't make sense to me, it's just like they were too lazy to make a proper ending like I said the beginning was unnecessary , the story is predictable but the movie doesn't fail at being thrilling and scary and is not too bad I recommend to watch it but don't expect a masterpiece

The only horror and crime about this movie is that it was ever made. This movie is just plain awful. This movie borrows so many story lines from other good movies, such as Halloween, the strangers, the purge and when a stranger calls mixes it up and vomits it up into this poor showing. The acting is average and the dialogue is even worse. This is only trumped by plot holes and characters making highly unlikely decisions even (even for a horror movie).Thirty minutes in and I watched the remainder of the movie on double speed only occasionally returning to normal speed at what I thought might be crucial moments only to speed up again. The ending of the movie tries to shock but fails miserably even in that. This movie is constantly horrible and I would recommend not wasting your time on it.

Boo, boo, boo, all the way through.'Berkshire County' is your typical home invasion, babysitter nonsense. The first few moments of the film makes sure we never care about the possible victim. Making her out to be your typical mindless high school sleaze. That role is played by Alysa King, who is supposed to a high school student, but looks to be in her mid to late twenties. That's usually how these films go about casting, though, since finding a younger actress who can't act, isn't nearly as easy as finding an older actress who can't act. I guess? One of my favorite lines in the film, is toward the end, when our damsel in distress threatens 'Marcus' to report his video as distributing pornography of a minor... Fairly empty threat from a woman who looks like she was around for the release of Duran Duran's 'Hungry Like The Wolf' hit single.The film is a copy of many previous invasion films, such as 'The Strangers,' and 'You're Next,' but reminds me mostly of 'When a Stranger Calls 2006.' The reasons will be obvious while you're viewing the film. Since the film is called 'Berkshire County,' an obvious breeding ground for hillbillies, you can forget about any originality from the killers. They'll be sporting the usual pig masks, because, well, that's what all hillbillies do, right? Luckily, our sleazy victim manages to get through to the local police, where they then dispatch their finest two officers. One looks younger than the 40 year old actress playing the lead role - and the other looks like a night watchman at your local museum. You can imagine how this ends, right?Random Ramblings of a Madman: I've always been curious, how do hillbillies make pig sounds as well as they do? I try and try, but I can't seem to get enough bass in my voice. It just seems so easy for them.
