Redneck Zombies

I wish I could give this one a zero. It didn't even get the whole so bad its good thing going. No, its not the actors that suck (which they do) or the filmography that suck (which it does), the main thing was how they pulled all these things together into the worst viewing experience of my life. The film had so much potential too, i mean come on, Redneck + Zombies should equal = really funny time. The parts that really made me wish for new eyes were the parts where for no reason, the film went all screwy, and the sound was dragged out until your ears bled. I finally was able to finish it, just for writing this review, and I've come to a conclusion. Troma films should be used for torture. I guarantee that any terrorist will talk if you promise just to turn it off. If you wish to save your brain from the worst headache imaginable, DO NOT WATCH THIS!!!

Trailer—Redneck Zombies

source: Redneck Zombies

A batch of toxic moonshine turns hick dirt farmers into vicious flesh-eating redneck zombies. Said zombies terrorize a group of campers unlucky enough to be poking around their neck of the woods. Boy, does this uproariously awful atrocity scrupulously cover all the correct so-utterly-wrong-that-they're-paradoxically-right schlock cinema bases: lovably rank amateur overacting from a game, but lame no-name cast, inept (mis)direction by Pericles Lewnes, a plodding stop'n'go pace, a hilariously tasteless sense of cheerfully shameless and unapologetic no-brainer humor (there's uproariously un-PC jokes about gays, blacks, Jews, pot smoking, and, of course, hicks), one-note caricature characters, cruddy (far less than) special effects, crude cinematography, lousy continuity, a jaw-dropping acid trip sequence, a few inspired surreal gags (the creepy Tobbaco Man's speech about the dangerous side effects of his wares is priceless and the campers use spray cans of deodorant to repel the zombies!), clumsy use of strenuous slow motion, a monotonously thudding score, a decent dab of gratuitous female nudity, several catchy hillbilly tunes on the soundtrack, and, naturally, gobs of deliciously cheesy and excessive in-your-face explicit splatter. An absolute tacky hoot.

Don't watch this one. I love low budget horror flicks as a rule, but this one is just a little too cheap for my tastes. The editing looks worse than something I would have done in my 11th grade journalism class. The acting is non-existant. The special effects are scary only in that they suck. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

Just in case anyone was wondering, this is what true awsomeness looks like. Redneck Zombies is by far, my favorite shot-on-video, Return of the Living Dead/Texas Chainsaw Massacre ripoff-gore-fest in the entire Troma catalog. If anyone ever had fun making a movie, these guys did, which makes me wonder why Pericles didn't direct anything else for so long. I could sit here and type all day about the bottomless toilet of flaws that this film actually is, like most would, but, for the most part, all that was intentional, so now, all we have left is entertainment value, and if that was all that counted in the film industry, then Mr. Lewnes would have an Oscar to his credit. By far the greatest shot-on-video in existence, and I'll even go so far as to say that Redneck Zombies is by far the best non-Kaufman Troma epic available. This steaming pile of Hixploitation magnificence begins with a soldier, in the middle of "God knows where", hauling a barrel of toxic waste, of course it falls off the vehicle while he's getting high. The barrel is, of course, intercepted by a 4,000 pound yokel, with a gun, no brain, and a whole lot of curiosity (played by the legendary Bucky Santini). With the soldier scared off, and the toxic waste now freshly stolen, from the portly yokel, by the Clemson clan, the town of thirteen rednecks can all now be let in on this curious lookin' liquid. For what? To drink? I doubt it, well, maybe... With everyone now dead, and soon to be un-dead, these so-called rednecks (they're actually backwoods hicks) are going to be awfully hungry, after unwittingly poisoning themselves, going completely insane, and being dead, and all. Fortunately , there are seven campers, near by, who aren't all that bright, and that's a lot of dim-witted flesh to be had. What follows, definitely puts this in the top five goriest films of the 1980's. And just think, Redneck Zombies is actually funnier than it is gory. That is, If you're into ridiculous, backwards humor like someone I know. You can't really call Redneck Zombies a failure, because this is exactly what they were going for, well, not a failure, exactly, more like "bad horror", then again, any damn fool can see that). These guys really take the cheesiness to legendary heights. I guess we could always do without the fact that it was shot on video, but if anything belongs on video, believe me, it's this. As ambitious of a production as it is, Redneck Zombies most definitely knows its place in the Exploitation world. Be sure to get the not rated version, otherwise, you'll be one unhappy camper. For the complete Redneck Zombies experience, check out the new Tromasterpiece Edition, it's swell!! If you don't hate over-the-top gore, sleazy, juvenile humor, bad acting, continuity issues, or movies made for less than $100 million, then you might not hate Redneck Zombies... oh, you probably will, what the hell do I know? 10/10

If you enjoy serious, dramatic, and well-developed movies, then DO NOT RENT THIS MOVIE! However, if you love movies that are so bad that they are good (I know I do), then be prepared to laugh yourself silly. This incredible B-horror movie boasts hilarious characters (alcoholic guy, tobacco man, rednecks galore), amateur filming, and the most blood and gore that I have ever seen. If you liked this movie, I would suggest the Evil Dead/Army of Darkness series, Dead Alive (aka Braindead), and Jack Frost ( not the kids' movie).

Redneck Zombies was one of the bad movies that got me hooked on Cult Classics. It was Gory and very disturbing most of the time they tried to make it funny but very few scenes had decent comedy. When i had first seen this movie it was at hollywood in salt lake city. I was 8 years old and my parents let me and my friend pick out any horror movie. I looked at the cover and knew that i would like this movie. My friend thought it looked stupid he didnt like it but i did. I definatly recammend this movie to anyone who likes Cult Classics or Troma movies. Warning do not take this cheapness seriously at all costs. It will be a waist of time. But if you are planning to laugh this is the movie. It startes geting good at the last half hour there is tones and tones of Gore,comedy and many more.

this film is a truly inspired account of life in small town America, with a genuinely freakish underbelly.the characters are finely tuned versions of everyday folk one could well envisage bumping into at the corner store or local deli counter. Save this piece of cinematic joy for precious possibly solitary occasions, as a pick-me-up or perhaps for those epochal moments experienced briefly during one's lifetime.Lets hope that the big wigs residing in Hollywood fail to come across this unholy unforgettable masterpiece. For there is nothing which chills the heart with more certainty than the prospect of a tepid remake.In short a must see for all zombie fans.
