Redneck Zombies

Thank God someone had the lack of taste to make this saucy little number. Redneck Zombies is one of the best splatter comedies ever! It's got tons of gore, hilarious dialogue, some surprisingly good acting, and some truly disturbing moments. I didn't expect to actually be unnerved by a film with a title like Redneck Zombies, but it definitely has some moody, disconcerting scenes in it. Released by Troma, the undisputed kings of bad taste cinema. Go pick up a copy today, or I'll go a lookin' fer ya. HEH, HEH, HEH!!!

When a film begins with a mental patient in a hospital putting out a cigarette on an already very scarred forearm (his own), you know you've got a twisted film on your hands. This is certainly a gore splatter, but the nastiness and quality of the gore push it beyond another sad blood fest. Loaded with humour and revolting stuff. There's a very weird acid freak out scene when the first rednecks become zombies, and later a guy on acid freaks out while performing an autopsy. The tobacco man is hilarious (a tobacco salesman who has to cover his head with a blood strained sack as his face is so hideous from years of chewing tabacco). There's also some great imagery, and at times even threatens to create some atmosphere! Miles ahead of anything else the Troma team has come up with.

On a strange note, I've rented this film twice, at two different flats, & watched it with two different flatmates. They both fell asleep half way through. Inexplicable.

Everything about this (with the exception of a few forced attempts to be funny) is pure fun. And most of the time, the humor is done well. I've considered this a favorite for a long time. It's dumber and more offensive than most movies that come out, and it utilizes this in some very entertaining ways. As Mike Mendez described his film "The Convent", this movie is an equal opportunity offender. DO NOT TAKE THIS FILM SERIOUSLY. And remember that, no matter how cheezy and low-budget this is, the truckloads of blood and guts in this are more realistic than in most horror movies out there. I feel compelled to believe that these people went to some butcher shops, big-time. The humor is great nine times out of ten, the gore FX are nifty, and some of the characters really are memorable. To make a needlessly review short, this is the kind of party movie that you just get together with friends and kick back and enjoy. Still, if you are expecting one of the "masterpieces of the ages" from a shot-on-video movie from Troma, what makes you think you deserve your HOUR AND A HALF back?

Filmed in what looks like a cornfield in glorious Smyrna Delaware, Redneck Zombies delivers traditional Troma-fare. Somehow a vat of toxic waste makes it's connection with one rednecked family's moonshine. Before you know it......Zombie/Cannibal festival. While this is going down we have a subplot, i.e. potential victims/survivors added to the mix. A group of mismatched folks who look more like the local Smyrna drama club, than a bunch of hearty campers, start hiking through the danger zone. You can probably figure out what happens next. Being that this is Troma there will be lots of blood and guts. The movie, despite being extremely low budget, is generous with the gore. There are some faults to this movie though. A major one being the cheesy 80's computer graphics added in on occasion to create that "bad acid trip" effect. The creators also had a Texas Chainsaw fetish, as seen in the last few moments of the film. If you are into zombies, rednecks, hiking in cornfields, community theater, or moonshine. This may be the movie for you. It delivers what it promises plain and simple.

Not really. It was worth watching, i mean from the acid trips to the moonshine and cousin lovin zombies you can,t believe yours eyes. This movie wasn't really a hit, but it is one of the funniest B movies ever made.
