as i was browsing through my local DVD shop the other day i stumbled on this movie, now i love horror movies, and horror comedies and this looked right up my street, redneck zombies, cool, came with a comic book nice, was looking forward to some sweet gore, and loads of laughs, and got neither, nor did i get my redneck zombies i was promised. the movie was poor in every way, some OK special effects nothing to write home about. the lead actress was OK, but it could of been much better, and it thought it was clever but it wasen't. now look i love me a bit of horror cheese ya know 'evil dead 2' 'braindead' and 're animater'. but where as they were genuinely funny and meant to be, i was surprised at how serious the thing tried to be, dashes of humour here and there, but it was trying to be to dark and fails. there was one scene that was pretty cool, when a dude gets boiled/fried but other than that this did not impress me one bit, its so far from the cult classic its supposed to be stay away, its just trash
... View MoreWow! This movie totally took me by surprise. Initially I bought it because it is a zombie movie, but I had not imagined that the movie would be this cool. If you liked "Shaun of the Dead", then you definitely want to check out "Trailer Park of Terror".The story is pretty straight forward, and as you would expect of any horror movie; something sinister happened in the past, then many years pass by and a bunch of teenagers find themselves in the location of the grizzly deed that happened many years in the past. And then it all takes a turn for the worse. Enter the hillbilly zombies! "Trailer Park of Terror" combines three great things into one great movie; humor, gore and really amazing zombie make-up. I was in awe at the effects of this movie, and it was really obvious that Drac Studios are really knowing what they are doing. Hats off to them for the amazing effects they have pulled off on the zombies in this movie. That make-up and special effects alone make it worth sitting down and watching the movie.And the music score/soundtrack for this movie was really great as well. Very well picked music that worked well for every scene. And the song that the zombie was singing when he was on top of the trailer, that was just phenomenal. It was so well placed for the movie and the timing of the story.The cast they put together for this movie was nice as well, though I didn't really recognize anyone here. But that doesn't matter, because they did great jobs, and it is refreshing to see new faces in movies every now and then. And I must say that it was really the zombies that carried the movie, because they had so much personality, and they were hilarious. (Plus their make-up really helped them well along the way.)"Trailer Park of Terror" is really a gem much like "Shaun of the Dead" in the zombie genre. There is a lot of humor in this movie, so don't except to see a Romero style zombie movie here.I am a huge fan of zombie movies, and once in awhile I stumble upon a zombie movie that perfectly incorporates comedy into an otherwise gore-stained and serious genre. "Trailer Park of Terror" is a definite MUST watch for all zombie fans.
... View More"Trailer Park of Terror" is another new movie to cash in on the contemporary immensely popular trend of 70's horror revival. These movies intend to re-create the Grindhouse atmosphere through a combination of raw atmosphere, hillbilly characters and extreme nihilistic violence. What better setting to combine all these elements than a trailer park full of Southern yokels, director Steven Goldmann ingeniously must have thought, and he looked for inspiration in the repertoire of Imperium Comics publishing. For the most part, he succeeded. "Trailer Park of Terror" is a repellent and occasionally quite provocative trash-movie with all the clichés and stereotypes you expect (and hope) to find in this sort of film. It's a kind of tawdry fairy-tale, but one with sleazy protagonists and loads of foul language. One part of the film actually illustrates the life and suffering within a trailer park located somewhere either in Tennessee, Georgia or Northern Alabama (the plot is never clear on that) and the other part takes place nearly 30 years later, in present day, when a bus full of juvenile delinquents and their chaperon get stranded in the area and have to spend the night there. For you see, the trailer park grounds have been cursed ever since Norma, a feisty white trash babe, accepted the gun of a long-haired stranger and annihilated the entire park because they killed her rich lover boy and thus ruined her chances of ever getting out of there. Now, Norma and the rest of the rednecks live on as zombies and feast their Southern lusts on the innocent passerby. Norma herself likes to chop off heads whilst having sex, heavyweight lady Larlene is always on the lookout for "fresh meat", Miss China gives very deadly massages, Stank has a recipe for human jerky and rocking zombie Roach has explosives planted all over the park. The sequences that are actually taking place in the trailer park are the undeniable highlights of the film. It barely takes two extended scenes to show all the typical clichés linked to this particular social habitat, like prostitution, domestic disturbance and plundering. The plot with the teenagers trying to survive is more familiar and derivative, but still there are some inventive murders and quite a lot of engrossing special effects. Most of film takes place during night time, so you'll often find yourself staring at a black screen and the editing is quite rough. The soundtrack is pretty cool, with a combination of country music and hard rock, and the cast is appealing.
... View MoreI thought this was an excellent film. I It was well cast, well shot and well written. It isn't a scary movie, I think the classification "Horror" isn't exactly suiting. It has the gore required, however it comes off too funny to be a true horror. It seems more like a comedy action flick, with some horror elements. Thats not to say its a bad movie, its highly entertaining.The trailer park zombies are very entertaining, and capture the redneck stereotype perfectly. Duct tape truly does fix everything. The only beef I had with the movie was the anti-climatic ending. It was going so well, with the demolition derby, and the southern rock complimenting the scene just right, but then they slapped together the very end, and it leaves the viewer sitting on the edge of the seat thinking, "Thats it?" Otherwise, a great, entertaining movie, worth a purchase, or at least a rental.
