Redneck Zombies (1989 Video)
3/10
Entertaining trash-fest
29 March 2007
This is a typical Troma film. It's unashamedly artless and trashy. It's full of dumb humour and gore. If you take it for what it is, you could have a good time. I did.

The story, such as it is, involves a family of retarded rednecks who stupidly drink and distribute toxic waste throughout their hillbilly community. The toxic waste turns the victims into redneck zombies. Add to the mix a group of campers who are terrorised by these drooling imbeciles.

If you've seen a Troma film you'll both know what to expect and what not to expect. What you get is bad acting, artless photography, dumb humour and tasteless violence. What you don't get is sophisticated and atmospheric fare with subtle and considered performances from a talented cast. Redneck Zombies falls firmly into the former category. But unlike some films of this type, it's quite amusing at times and agreeably trashy. It even has a reasonably original and disturbing character – the tobacco man; he's like an evil hillbilly elephant man.

If you've had a hard day and your brain is full then you could give this a go. It's utter trash but doesn't pretend to be otherwise. In the right frame of mind, you might even have a good time.
