I'm not stranger to Troma's world - I liked Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke 'Em High, and Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell, but this film is the pits.For example, it takes over forty minutes to get to the zombies! So we're subjected to all the deliberate bad acting and 'comedy' which in this film is just excruciating.A barrel of toxic waste is lost after a soldier burns his hand on a joint and almost crashes his jeep. A redneck gets a hold of it and ends up giving it to other rednecks as a makeshift still, which contaminates their mash and turns them (and anyone else that drinks it) into zombies. That plot would have held up well but the film continually grinds to a halt due to various other things.For instance, one character in particular is portrayed as a coward (who's also taken acid) and we get endless scenes of this guy screaming and running around. There's also a gay soldier (unfunny), the strange tobacco man, and some zombie kids.There's also plenty of gore in the latter half of the film, but I barely made it to the end. It seemed to me as if the film was double the length it was supposed to be. I know Troma try and do deliberately dreadful films, but in this case they just didn't do that right. Painful.

This movie is a one of a kind laugh-fest that has the gore for the horror aficionados. The smallest of small things make me laugh. From the zombies burping after a heavy meal to the witty one liners that, although sometimes asinine, can still create a chuckle from the lax viewer. Ferd Mertz (Bucky Santini) is by far the winner here when it comes to the laughs. A great way to spend a good night and to introduce people to the bizarre and obscure. Totally cheesy but all in good fun! There are really no blatant cliché moments in this one that leave you scratching your head and wondering if your intelligence has been insulted. Redneck Zombies is not suppose to be taken seriously. Anyone who does is obviously watching this movie for all the wrong reasons. Highly recommended if you can find a place that carries it. If not there is always Amazon.

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.

A former co-worker of mine told me about this film a few weeks ago, and I bought the film just to see how interesting this film could be. The basic gist of the film is that a drum of nuclear waste falls off the back of US Army Jeep in the rural parts of Maryland. Some rednecks get the drum thinking that it is Moonshine (because they do not know how to read, or they are just stupid) and give it to people and become flesh eating zombies.The film itself is not meant to be a Oscar winner, but it falls under the "it's so bad it's good" group. The special effects are very cheap, but it still fun to watch. I could write a book on how corny and cheesy the lines in this movie are, but I am not going to do that. The lines in this film are really bad, but it's so funny at some of the stuff that is said in this film. The gore in this film is is at times over the top. There seems to be more gore in this film, then Dawn of the Dead.The acting is over the top at times. Mainly Bob, the pre-vet student is starts tripping while doing an autopsy on one of the zombies. Drinking Dude, how could I forget him. He always drinks, at out of no where pulls out bottles of liquor and drinks it.If you like Troma films, then watch this. If you like gore b flicks, then watch this. In my opinion this is one of the best b movies of the 80's.
