Tonight Roommate and I decided to partake of some zombie movies, the dread pirate suutar downloaded a few and we thought we would try them out. the best we saw tonight was:
"REDNECK ZOMBIES!"
This Movie has everything that you could look for in a Troma Film, Troma you may note has brought you such great Films as the Toxic Avenger , and Poultrygeist. This 1986 movie has all the big hair you could ever want, and if you are looking for gay rednecks that want to be called Ellie May, you are in for a treat.
The movie starts as any great movie should; campers are hiking in the woods, rednecks are making moonshine, and an army pot smoker is running wild with a barrel of toxic waste. the barrel gets lose from the jeep and the rednecks get a hold of it. they think " wow, what a great way to make moonshine". everyone in the town that drinks the moonshine turns into a zombie, even the redneck baby. The campers start getting picked off one by one as you would expect in any good zombie movie. At one point the remaining campers hide out in a cave. I was not sure what they were going to do once they were in the cave, but soon i was not disappointed. During the time in the cave, the pre-vet student was forced to give a autopsy while he was on an acid trip. when you find a shoe in someone's stomach that is time to stop and take a break.
The one thing that i did not enjoy in the movie was the ear-stabbing soundtrack that sampled from nails on a caulk board.
I know, I know how can a movie have Rednecks and zombies and you have never heard of it. this movie has been lost in the vault of troma and I for one am going to start my campaign to get this seen.
this movie is great and with a remake and some better acting and scripting could be a great movie. as it stands is it a great troma film and a great B movie
I give this one 4 out of 5 B movie zombies.
