Movie Reviews of Redneck Zombies

Movie Review: Not a 'B' horror but an 'F' horror
Summary: 1 Stars

Warning: there are spoilers in this review but believe me, I'm not spoiling much.

The first question is, can you make it through the whole movie? Well, I was bored and had nothing better to do, although in retrospect I could have watched the grass grow. 'Redneck Zombies', to begin with, is filmed on video, that's how bad it is. It's like a high school project that got an 'F'. But with a writer named Fester Smellman (it's true), you get what you asked for.

A military jeep hauling a drum of toxic waste loses the drum off the dirt road and is scared away by a fat redneck. The fat one then gives the drum to Pa Redneck and his three sons, one of whom insists on being called Ellie May and wears his shirt tied around his sagging belly. The rednecks think it's a new still and begin brewing. The hooch comes out green and awful, but of course they drink it anyway. Ellie May leaves to make the delivery run to town. Pa and sons drink the hooch and turn into redneck zombies. (they kind of melt) Meanwhile, some novice campers enter the woods to set up a camp. It's not long before the zombies find the campers and of course, the feast begins.

Some things to watch for (if you actually watch this tripe) are instead of the ice cream man they have a "dip" man. (chewing tobacco) There's a delivery scene to the freelance butcher that makes no sense, a drooling redneck and a duck-taped girl sitting in the living room watching baby chickens on the TV. There's the obsessive/compulsive camper who changes his shirt all the time, and is the one who discovers that the zombies can be killed by spray deodorant. There's the pre-vet school camper who freaks out and does an autopsy on one of their dead friends while hallucinating that he's pulling out shoes, ears of corn, and a rubber ducky, before throwing up into the incision.

The acting is atrocious, the FX is horrible (strawberry jam, red corn syrup, raw liver, and chicken parts) - there isn't one redeeming feature of this movie except that the makers of it acknowledge that it's a comedy and not to be taken seriously. My recommendation is to always listen to one of my favorite reviewers, Jeffrey Leach, when it comes to horror. Pass on this one, don't even rent unless you have some chemical enhancement to go with it, and even that might not work.

Summary of Redneck Zombies

When redneck dirt-farmers accidentally drink a barrel of nuclear waste they transform into tobacco chewing, flesh eating, cannibal kinfolk from hell! Meanwhile, seven sophisticated city slickers on vacation get lost in the woods and encounter a nightmare world of these illiterate, and extremely hungry, undead appalachains. While the tourists hikers use all their wits and courage to stay alive, more and more "down-home" types imbibe the nasty brew until Redneck Zombies are everywhere. What started as a scenic nature-hike turns into a bloodbath of dismemberment and cannibalism! Redneck Zombies, the directorial debut of effects genius Pericles Lewnes (Troma's War, Toxic Avenger Part II and III), was the first feature film shot on video!
