Summary: a good bad movie
Review: Right away you can tell that redneck zombies is not going to be a classic since it's looks like a home movie but it will at least be a cult classic.The storys about a group of people who go camping in the woods in the middle of redneck town where a group of hicks spill a barrel of toxic waste in their moonshine.They eventally drink it and become redneck zombies looking for brains.For the most part I liked this movie because it has a entertaining beginning and the movies just fun to watch.Though the movie has a lot of problems too like the acting is some of the worst ever and a lot of scenes drag on way too long like the transforming scene and the cave scene.Also the last half hour is really dull though there are some good gore scenes from a movie that looks like a home movie but I'm not really surprised since the director later went on to do spicial effects for lloyd kaufman's films.So if you like b movies you might like this but not love it and for people who don't they'll wonder how this movie ever got released.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of Troma's best!
Review: Amazing, this movie is simply amazing at how cheesy it is in every way, the acting is horrible it looks like it was shot with an everyday video camera, the effects are cheesy as you can get. What's not to love, it's a great movie about a couple of rednecks that make moon shine out of a barrel of toxic waste they found and when people drink it they turn into...................zombies thats right, how could you not want to watch this movie, it's great. If your a fan of troma and of cheese then this is a must watch.

Summary: So Bad, its, well, Bad!
Review: Not funny. There is no aesthetic to this movie at all. Some of the gore is okay, but so what? This is one hell of a lame movie. I like camp, but this thing is so self-conscious, so sophmoric, so amatuer, it will have you cringing and then just drifting. It sounds like it was written by a fifth grader. The "acting" is moronic. Once again, not funny. I'm sorry, but the people that said this movie is funny were extremely messed up when they saw this.

If you want to see a good troma release, try Terror Firmer, Tromeo and Juliet, Toxic Avenger, Killer Condom, Cannibal the Musical, or even Kabuki Man. Don't waste your time with this. You'll be sorry.

Summary: Pure hilarity, and gore galore!
Review: I've been a big Troma fan for years, and have seen most of their releases. I just saw Redneck Zombies for the first time tonight, and I must say, it was quite the experience! Yes, the acting is beyond attrocious, but that's a major part of the movies appeal. Other reviewers have complained that it looks like the movie was shot on a video camera...well, that's because it was! All of the aformentioned cheesy factors are what gives the movie it's charm. I actually really enjoyed the dialouge. Redneck Zombies honestly has some of the absolute funniest lines I've heard in a while! Now, let's move on to the special effects. The gore is amazing, and trust me, you'll see plenty of it! As a bonus, the special features contains a short clip featuring none other than Ron Jeremy (my childhood hero) along with his female companion Charisma (who my friend plans on marrying in the very near future). Obviously, if you're not a fan of b movies, you'll hate Redneck Zombies. But for those of you with good taste...check it out as soon as possible!

Summary: Good party movie
Review: This is a b movie that most people would probably think they've been ripped off after buying it. It starts off pretty slow. The scene with the tobacco man is way too long. About 20 minutes into the film it starts getting really good. There's a lot of blood, guts, gore, and slapstick humor. They way this movie makes fun of rednecks is absolutely hilarious. Watch for the very funny scene when, while in the cave, the medical student is trying to do an autopsy while on acid. Once you pass the cave scene and most of the cast is killed, the last 20 minutes with the one girl left are pretty boring. At that point, you'll be ready for the movie to be over, but she has to kill all the remaining zombies. It takes too long and gets annoying. But the middle hour of the movie is great. I think everyone should see this movie at least once either to see the blood and gore, or for the redneck humor. Or both.

Summary: Oh the humanity!
Review: If someone ever cornered me by asking why I waste my time watching Troma films, I would have a tough time giving a convincing answer. It seems like every few weeks I end up watching one of these nightmares. I simply don't know why. Perhaps I am too lazy to turn these monstrosities off once the movie begins. Perhaps my love for low budget junk provides enough inspiration to bravely gut it out after I realize the movie is yet another Lloyd Kaufman sponsored disaster. Who knows what drives me to punish myself. I can tell you that "Redneck Zombies" presented me with a particularly painful conundrum. I knew the movie would turn into an all out gorefest at some point, but the lead up to the real bloodletting caused so much physical and mental pain that it almost wasn't worth waiting for the payoff. Cosmic questions of massive import assailed my brain as I waited for the film to grind to its inevitable conclusion: why are we on this planet? Will I fulfill the goals I have set for my life? And why am I wasting two hours of my physical existence watching this dreck? Some questions have no easy answers. Some questions have answers best left unexplored. "Redneck Zombies" is a movie best left unseen and unexplored in any way, shape, or form.

I'll give director Pericles Lewnes some credit; he created a shot on video film that challenges the very conceptions of what bad means. "Redneck Zombies" is such an abominable, wretched project that it soils even Troma's reputation. Imagine, if you dare, a bunch of soldiers hauling a drum of toxic waste through the backwoods of some southern state in a jeep (Yep, a jeep. The Army now hauls dangerous radiation in a jeep. Sigh.). Predictably, the drum falls out of the truck and breaks open. A trio of brain dead moonshiners discovers the drum and decides to mix up a batch of special liquor in it. The firewater mixes with the residual traces of the radiation, resulting in an oddly colored drink that knocks the socks off the local imbibers. It also turns anyone who drinks it into flesh eating, overall wearing zombies. Over the next hour and a half-it feels like infinity-most of the residents in the area drink this nasty brew and suffer the consequences. There's a bit of gore here as some of the infected residents make quick work of those who didn't drink the glowing liquor. The real fun starts later.

A group of campers unfortunately picked this exact time to hike around the backwoods for a few days. The group, largely and thankfully forgettable as actors, is the most moronic group of campers I've seen in a horror film. I would just try and accept them for what they are-victims-and move on. Only one guy stands out of the crowd, a real doozy of a fellow who does nothing except stand around drinking liquor and laughing. Trouble starts slowly at first as some of the campers stumble on the still that made the toxic moonshine. Predictably, oh so predictably, a couple of the hicks stumble out of the woods and quickly make mincemeat out of a couple of the campers. When the others discover the bodies, and realize how much trouble they are in, the fun starts in earnest. A mad scramble ensues as the rapidly diminishing group attempts to clear out of the area. The problem with this chaotic plan comes in the form of packs of zombified hicks lurching around the forests and plains, ripping and tearing their way through the terrified humans. A central question emerges as the film comes to a close: who is stupider, the campers slumming in the backwoods or the zombie hicks? If you find the answer, please let me know.

Did I mention this movie is a strictly shot on video project with a budget of approximately seventy pesos? Lewnes tries to trick the movie up by routinely employing video camera effects and gimcracks that even a high school student working on a video yearbook wouldn't use. Hence, you get a lot of color trails, pictures within a picture, and the like. It's neat stuff if you've spent your entire life in North Korea, but quite amateurish and gaudy to the rest of us. Not to beat a dead horse here, but the photographic techniques used in this movie are to the modern world of cinema what Pong is to modern day videogames. What does work on occasion is the extreme gore at the end of the film. Some of the carnage unfolding onscreen is quite unpleasant, and sporadically effective, for a zero budget production. If the viewer didn't have to wait so long to see the sauce, "Redneck Zombies" might have merited a more positive response.

You might think Lewnes could compare with Peter Jackson of "Bad Taste" and "Dead Alive" fame since both men cut their teeth on extremely low budget horror. You would be wrong. Jackson's films were excitingly creative, gross, and humorous affairs that will leave a lasting imprint on the world of low budget horror. Pericles Lewnes, on the other hand, only leaves behind blight. As far as I know, he never made another movie. Typical of Troma Studios, the DVD release has plenty of cheesy extras. The usual trailers and shameless Troma self-promotion are here, as is an interview with Lewnes and another guy associated with this travesty. Save yourself a few hours of your life and avoid this clunker at all costs. And hey, don't worry-there's no need to thank me for warning you in advance.

Summary: A Must See (For All Horror Fans)
Review: I have seen this movie at least fifty times, and it still leaves me comming back for more. This movie is so pathetic, that it's good! It was shot on an everyday video camera, and made on a five thousand dollar budget. It pushes gore to the limit, along with the humorous acting. The make-up is very well done, considering it is just honey, corn flakes, and Charcoal. To all horror fans out there, or somebody just looking for a laugh buy this movie. Don't waste your time renting it, because I guarantee it will have you comming back for more. Guaranteed to shock, Guaranteed to satisfy, Don't miss out on this Troma Classic.

Summary: Another Masterpiece from the Troma Team
Review: As far as comedy/horror flicks go, Redneck Zombies is excellent. So poorly made and acted makes for an outstanding
B-film cult classic. When an army jeep drops a barrel of toxic waste on the side of a dirt road in hick-ville USA. A local redneck family finds this barrel and uses it to brew moonshine. After this "Toxic moonshine" is distributed through out the town a gang of Redneck Zombies go hunting for BRAINS! From Radioactive moonshine to a ... Homo sexual Redneck, this film makes for a fun filled evening of laughs and screams. A great cult classic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Redneck Zombies apeals to redneck Indiana
Review: Redneck Zombies appealed to me in a since that it wasn't big budget, and the acting wasn't all that great. And the campers and scenery were beautiful, kinda remined me of bein out in the corn fields doing dirty things with old girlfriends. Or getting stoned in the corn fields with old buddies. And the violence and gore is marvelous. It was shot on video tape, which is good, because i am a young independent film maker, just laerning how to do things here in Plainfield Indiana on a video camera i stole from dad. Appeals to any B-movie buff, or just Indiana folk.
