It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

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.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

How can you watch a movie called Red Neck Zombies expecting anything but dumb? It is corny, low budget, tacky and not pc in any way and I LOVE IT! The tobacco man, zombie redneck baby, big gay hillbilly, what's not to like?This is one of the movies I can watch over and over again. The first time I saw it was shortly after it's release and I've watched it once every year or two since then.This movie, Bad Taste and the voice over of Night of Living Dead are entertaining no thought required pure enjoyment. I recently lost my copy and I'm hoping I'll be able to find a replacement.

Just in case anyone was wondering, this is what true awsomeness looks like. Redneck Zombies is by far, my favorite shot-on-video, Return of the Living Dead/Texas Chainsaw Massacre ripoff-gore-fest in the entire Troma catalog. If anyone ever had fun making a movie, these guys did, which makes me wonder why Pericles didn't direct anything else for so long. I could sit here and type all day about the bottomless toilet of flaws that this film actually is, like most would, but, for the most part, all that was intentional, so now, all we have left is entertainment value, and if that was all that counted in the film industry, then Mr. Lewnes would have an Oscar to his credit. By far the greatest shot-on-video in existence, and I'll even go so far as to say that Redneck Zombies is by far the best non-Kaufman Troma epic available.This steaming pile of Hixploitation magnificence begins with a soldier, in the middle of "God knows where", hauling a barrel of toxic waste, of course it falls off the vehicle while he's getting high. The barrel is, of course, intercepted by a 4,000 pound yokel, with a gun, no brain, and a whole lot of curiosity (played by the legendary Bucky Santini). With the soldier scared off, and the toxic waste now freshly stolen, from the portly yokel, by the Clemson clan, the town of thirteen rednecks can all now be let in on this curious lookin' liquid. For what? To drink? I doubt it, well, maybe...With everyone now dead, and soon to be un-dead, these so-called rednecks (they're actually backwoods hicks) are going to be awfully hungry, after unwittingly poisoning themselves, going completely insane, and being dead, and all. Fortunately , there are seven campers, near by, who aren't all that bright, and that's a lot of dim-witted flesh to be had. What follows, definitely puts this in the top five goriest films of the 1980's. And just think, Redneck Zombies is actually funnier than it is gory. That is, If you're into ridiculous, backwards humor like someone I know.You can't really call Redneck Zombies a failure, because this is exactly what they were going for, well, not a failure, exactly, more like "bad horror", then again, any damn fool can see that). These guys really take the cheesiness to legendary heights. I guess we could always do without the fact that it was shot on video, but if anything belongs on video, believe me, it's this. As ambitious of a production as it is, Redneck Zombies most definitely knows its place in the Exploitation world. Be sure to get the not rated version, otherwise, you'll be one unhappy camper. For the complete Redneck Zombies experience, check out the new Tromasterpiece Edition, it's swell!! If you don't hate over-the-top gore, sleazy, juvenile humor, bad acting, continuity issues, or movies made for less than $100 million, then you might not hate Redneck Zombies... oh, you probably will, what the hell do I know? 10/10

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 movie seems to get a lot of negative attention and I wonder why that is. I mean, it IS a Troma movie so I already had low expectations. The title of the movie is Redneck Zombies so that further lowered my expectations and when I read the plot I just couldn't stop laughing. Radioactive waste mistaken for moonshine by rednecks, they drink it and transform into zombies!!! I couldn't wait to watch this.The start opens with a parody of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and it is very funny. But then I realised this wasn't filmed normally, it was filmed on video. It looked so shoddy I realised to take this seriously would be stupid. The acting, music, dialogue, plot, direction and everything else was bad, just plain bad. I couldn't stop laughing at how bad and ridiculous it really was. And the gore was excellent and let me say, there is a lot of it. Do you expect any less from Troma?? 3/5.
