Fresh and Exciting

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Rednecks and zombies: two of my favourites things in horror. Put them together and the result is bound to be great, right? Wrong! Redneck Zombies is about as much fun as taking a wrong turn in deliverance country. A low-budget, shot-on-video cheapie from the mid '80s, the film opts for a humorous approach, but the dreadful script and horrible performances ensure that laughs are in short supply. While I'm sure that all involved had a great deal of fun making the film, watching it is a whole different matter.It takes a well over half an hour before there are any zombies, the first part of the film focusing on how a barrel of radioactive nuclear toxic waste falls into the hands of a bunch of dumb hillbillies who use it to make a batch of potent moonshine. This section of the film also introduces us to a party of equally idiotic hikers, destined to become zombie fodder. The acting here is truly abysmal, with Anthony Burlington-Smith, in his only film role as Bob, being the biggest culprit. Worst of all, though, is that all of this is incredibly dull.When the zombies do finally appear, the film doesn't scrimp on the splatter, but it's of the cheapest kind imaginable—unconvincing body part props smothered liberally with butcher shop scraps (e.g., a torso-less body is a pair of stuffed trousers, the waist scattered with offal). None of the zombie make-up is very good, although there is one reasonable shotgun to the head effect (if anything, it's very messy!).3.5 out of 10, rounded down to 3 for the unnecessary documentary footage of chicks being de-beaked and the lame 'homages' to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

Besides Bloodsucking Freaks, Redneck Zombies is my favorite movie released by Troma Team Studios. Super low budget and shot on a hand-held camera, Redneck Zombies certainly is'nt the purdiest them there film I've seen. However, that does work in the films favor along with the horrible acting and truckloads of comedy and gore. Redneck Zombies is a hilarious piece of camp about some hillbillies that make moonshine out of a barrel containing toxic warfare nuclear chemical waste that turn the rural populace into zombies. There is a lot of funny crap here, but when the film gets more serious the terror and horrific elements work. Unlike many other horror productions with similar budgets to work with Redneck Zombies is never boring and has a fresh take on the genre. Obviously, this sort of thing is'nt for everyone. If you like outrageous, super campy horror that has fun with stereotypes and contains tons of brutal, ultra gore Redneck Zombies is a cool flick for you to check out.

Lisa Dubois: "Wilbur, did you treat this weed?" Wilbur: "Only with respect, baby".Where do I begin? I expected a little better from Lloyd Kaufman/ Troma Team.. But then again expect what? Once again I came out disappointed. I had heard so much "hoopla" over this so-called cult classic that when I saw a 20th anniversary DVD that also included a CD with the original soundtrack, I bought it. The CD music is much better that the film itself. Adrian Bond took composing the score for this film seriously. Nice.Also included in this anniversary DVD are new and current interviews with cast and crew of the film. This was more shocking to me than the movie itself! Ha-ha. Some of the cast members did not age well at all. Especially Lisa M. DeHaven(Lisa Dubois). I thought she looked hot back then. But it was shocking to see how much weight she gained! I could not believe it was her! Ironically Bucky Santini (Fred Mertz) who was the "big boy"in the film, is now slim and unrecognizable! Another member who gain a lot of weight also was Tyrone Taylor(Tyrone the Soldier). It was nice to see though how Alex Lewnes (Baby Fester) turned out 20 years later! Alex Lewnes was only two years old when he played Baby Fester. Pericles Lewnes (the director and who played Billy Bob 'Elly May)gave himself a concussion when he dropped the barrel of toxic waste on the first take. He also spent ten hours on the table in zombie make-up on the day his scene as a zombie was filmed. Moreover, said make-up took three or four hours to apply. It was so cold on several days of shooting that the fake blood Lisa M. DeHaven was covered with froze on her. The filmmakers sent this movie to many different distributors in order to get it released, all of whom turned it down. It was eventually picked up for release by Troma, which was the very first company it was submitted to. The budget for this movie was so low that the filmmakers could only afford one breakaway candy glass bottle. This film was shot in 32 days on weekends over the course of a year.The make-up for the zombie extras was done in a deliberately cheesy manner.

I love cheesy, gory, horror-comedies from the 80's, but i gotta say i was disappointed with REDNECK ZOMBIES. With a plot about toxic blood thirsty undead rednecks and a cover that boasts "a goremeister's delight" that "really delivers the goods" and "a back-woods bloodbath that'll tickle your funny bone, then rip it out," this movie sounded really promising. I got into this movie expecting it to be up there with TOXIC AVENGER (one of my all time favorites), and ended up finding it pretty lame. I knew it would be extremely cheap (and believe me it's about as cheap as it gets) and that doesn't bother me at all. The movie is really funny at times too (it's almost worth watching just for the incredibly hysterical scene involving a black soldier listening to a religious radio program...but i won't give it away); there is also a hilarious scene involving some boobies, but where the hell is the gore? It might be worth watching if viewed merely as a comedy but gore hounds like myself will be unsatisfied. If you wanna watch an extremely cheap shot on video zombie flick that delivers the goods check out FLESHEATER instead, and for those who like comedy with their slime and gore i'd recommend these far superior titles instead: THE TOXIC AVENGER, CLASS OF NUKE 'EM HIGH, Hollywood CHAINSAW HOOKERS, and STREET TRASH (all favorites of mine)
