Trailer Park of Terror

"Trailer Park of Terror" starts with young Norma about to finally leave her trailer park for good.When her fiancée is murdered by rednecks she makes a deal with long-haired Grim Reaper,so she can exterminate all of her tormentors.Unfortunately Norma and her victims are now cursed to be undead,coming back every night to kill any unfortunate victims that wander in after dark.The victims include a group of troubled teens heading to religious camp.Norma herself is the leader of the pack and is just as vicious as her old trailer park foes."Trailer Park of Terror" offers some gruesome scenes of torture and cannibalism accompanied by the singing of Roach from on top of his trailer.Zombified redneck plays his electric guitar with style.The soundtrack of the film is fantastic and the script makes fun of trailer parks,southerners and fat people.The set design is great:the trailers look gloomy and disgusting.7 out of 10.

After a promising, stylish opening involving the shotgun slaughter of an entire trailer park, I settled in for what I thought was going to be a great little movie. It had a lot going for it in the early stages - superb production values, tight direction, good actors, and a steaming hot southern-rock soundtrack. It even flaunted the classic old tropes of the severe line of thunderstorms moving in to isolate the area and the hick locals telling the protagonists to avoid taking *that* route. So much potential!

But as we all learned at school, potential energy must be converted into kinetic energy in order for work to be performed... and, frustratingly, Trailer Park of Terror just stayed right on the starting line and didn't really go anywhere until the end credits rolled.

The big problem is that the movie has no sense of direction. It just doesn't know what it wants to be. Instead of finding solid footing, it tapdances clumsily from one style of horror to the next. Ghosts one moment, zombies the next, torture/slasher grindcore the next.

Likewise, it can't find an even tone either - it's funny one moment, and too disturbing to be funny the next. Exciting one moment, and meandering the next. Scary one moment and painfully awkward the next.

It never manages to merge these components together into a cohesive whole the way other successful comedy horrors have done (i.e. Severance, Behind the Mask, Undead, Dead and Breakfast, Bad taste etc.) and the end result seems empty and pointless as a result.

In conclusion, if you're a hardcore gore fanatic, it might be worth a rental as there is enough here to satisfy, but if you like even the tiniest bit of plot and development in your horror, leave it on the shelf.

Norma is a pretty young thing who has had more than her fill of the chauvinist thugs that live in and and pretty much rule her trailer park. She is all set to get out of there, but things don't go quite according to plan...This brings us to a decade or so later, when a bus of wild teenagers who are undergoing a faith intervention, wind up at the aforementioned trailer park.

'Trailer Park of Terror' relies heavily on stereotypes. From the uncouth, sickening residents that occupy the trailer park, to the goth chick, the whore and the jock. Saying that, the cast mostly put their all in, and performances are above average.

This flick is also chock full of excellent one-liners, and I found it very amusing. It doesn't look distinctly low budget, and there are a good few stylish camera tricks here and there. The gore is good enough, and there's one particularly nasty scene.

There's not much in the way of plot here, most things are left unexplained. I found that rather interesting. My only quip is the ending, which felt very rushed and disappointing. My score would have been an 8, otherwise.

All in all, Trailer Park of a Terror is a good tongue-in-cheek, entertaining flick, with plenty of hilarious one-liners and memorable characters.

Worth your time.

Wow! This movie totally took me by surprise. Initially I bought it because it is a zombie movie, but I had not imagined that the movie would be this cool. If you liked "Shaun of the Dead", then you definitely want to check out "Trailer Park of Terror".

The story is pretty straight forward, and as you would expect of any horror movie; something sinister happened in the past, then many years pass by and a bunch of teenagers find themselves in the location of the grizzly deed that happened many years in the past. And then it all takes a turn for the worse. Enter the hillbilly zombies!

"Trailer Park of Terror" combines three great things into one great movie; humor, gore and really amazing zombie make-up. I was in awe at the effects of this movie, and it was really obvious that Drac Studios are really knowing what they are doing. Hats off to them for the amazing effects they have pulled off on the zombies in this movie. That make-up and special effects alone make it worth sitting down and watching the movie.

And the music score/soundtrack for this movie was really great as well. Very well picked music that worked well for every scene. And the song that the zombie was singing when he was on top of the trailer, that was just phenomenal. It was so well placed for the movie and the timing of the story.

The cast they put together for this movie was nice as well, though I didn't really recognize anyone here. But that doesn't matter, because they did great jobs, and it is refreshing to see new faces in movies every now and then. And I must say that it was really the zombies that carried the movie, because they had so much personality, and they were hilarious. (Plus their make-up really helped them well along the way.)

"Trailer Park of Terror" is really a gem much like "Shaun of the Dead" in the zombie genre. There is a lot of humor in this movie, so don't except to see a Romero style zombie movie here.

I am a huge fan of zombie movies, and once in awhile I stumble upon a zombie movie that perfectly incorporates comedy into an otherwise gore-stained and serious genre. "Trailer Park of Terror" is a definite MUST watch for all zombie fans.

I liked this movie because of it's soundtrack and the no name actors A few hiccups in the film but for the most part a pretty decent story and a lot of good laughs. My favorite was the guitar playing dude who later becomes a guitar slinging zombie The big fat jerky maker was another great character Overall this movie was cheesy but great and very well filmed - I think the sets were great and the director did a good job. I probably wouldn't watch it again for many years but still a great Halloween flick - For a low budget horror flick it was dead on the money and the comic relief was just right - The make up was great and the gore was pretty cool too the no namers were alright and their demises were also just right. Certainly a better flick than many of the more recent ones to come out
