Redneck Zombies

Summary: kind of confused
Review: This movie just seemed like a bucnh of guys got together and were like HEY LOOK WHAT WE CAN DO DUDES and put together a movie and released it. What they should have done was finetune the skills THEN release the movie. We DO NOT need minutes upon minutes of psychadelic effects. Ow. We DO NOT need endless CHEAP jokes. No. This film is bad. It's so boring. They keep trying to be funny, but never pull it off very well. The gore was decent, yeah, but not worth sitting through all of the other garbage. The black guy trying to be funny tripping out was annoying, as was pretty much every other gimmick.

Sigh. Don't buy this. Really.

Summary: What Kind Of Deodorant Do Zombies Prefer?
Review: This movie is absolutely, utterly, and completely devoid of any value. I like low budget schlock, and I love camp, but this is neither: this is trash. While the plot is bad enough, the acting, and endlessly repeated gore makes this a triple threat: do not even think of wasting an hour and a half of your life on this.

The plot concerns a moonshine still made from a drum formerly used for transporting radioactive waste and the hilarity that results when the already retarded inhabitants of a hick town are rendered even more brain dead. There are subplots about a mental hospital (which is a corny framing device, yet goes nowhere), racism, and the tobacco consumption habits of idiots, yet none of these manage to further the story in the slightest. The one subplot that does further the story (kind of) is about the stupidest multicultural band of campers you have ever seen who happen to decide that they want to camp out near the nuclear still.

The plot is just a minor inconvenience that occasionally gets in the way of endless low budget, yet still reviling, gore. Cheesy early digital camcorder effects help hold the story together, so you've got that going for you. Of course amongst all the moonshine swilling and innard eating, we learn from a zombie autopsy (!) that zombies can be killed by one type of aerosol deodorant. What kind, you ask? The movie goes out of its way to insist that it can only be deodorant containing Aluminum Chlorohydrate, which is the actual active ingredient in many types of anti-perspirant. If you want to repel zombies at home, the chemical formula is Al2Cl(OH)5. I knew all the chemistry I took in college would come in handy one day.

The film has many other repulsive bonuses such as the corncob-in-the-eye competition, but by far the most repulsive part of the movie is the soundtrack, which contains many original tunes with lyrics you will be hard pressed to forget, particularly the "Love Theme From Redneck Zombies." (I'm not sure that's the actual name of it, but you will know which one I mean when you hear it.)

This is entertainment for teenage boys at its worst. I bought this film only because it was marketed with the much better "Inbred Rednecks", a film of subtle nuance, poise, and intellect compared to this. Do yourself a favor: never, ever watch this film for any reason.

Summary: Entertaining for Many Reasons
Review: Having grown up around Maryland, I heard about this locally lensed vid and finally got a chance to see it. Personally I think horror movies that "play it serious" end up providing more inadvertant comedy. RZ's goes for the jokes themselves, hitting sometimes, missing others...
For the true horror/zombie fan, the last 20 minutes are excellent and make up for any groans the earlier light patter of the video caused. Effects are very decent for the budget and the set up of scenes and pace are superb...
Sometimes I wish there was a "cap" on the amount of money producers can spend on movies. This video is proof that highly entertaining fair can be made cheaply.My only regret is that the DVD doesn't feature directors commentary.To PERICLES LEWNES-Drinks are on me if you ever want to share your secrets about Redneck Zombies!!

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 sophomoric, 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.
