Description
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!

 Now this is a Bad Film July 3, 2008
All the elitist critics who half watch a perfectly good film only to rip it apart, (Ebert & Roeper I am talking to you) should be forced clockwork orange style to sit through this. This is the real deal when it comes to an unwatchably bad, embarrasingly awful film.
Friendly Warning: This isn't campy fun, voiceover audience participation bad-just bad. Seriously don't waste your time or money.
 Great Stuff! June 17, 2007
This is definitely one of my favorite movies. It has bad acting. Bad script. Silly gags. Disgusting situations. Tons of gore. Nonsensical activity. It has everything that makes a great bad movie! Now, if you don't like movies that are campy, cheap, silly, over-the-top (or whatever other term you want to use), then you obviously won't like this one. You shouldn't even rent it. In fact, you shouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole--because this is one of the best bad movies ever made.
Yes, the acting is bad, but the key is that it's not boring. Yes, the script isn't going to win any awards, but it's not boring. Yes, the gags... well, I think you see the pattern. This isn't a sophisticated movie--it never pretends or tries to be. It's just a *fun* movie. What I really don't understand are the bad reviews here by people who say they like campy horror movies. I don't doubt their sincerity or honesty, I just don't understand how they couldn't at least give this movie a pass.
So, what is so good about this movie in my opinion? Let me count the ways! (a cheesy movie deserves a somewhat cheesy review) First, I loved the sound effects and music. I don't like country music, but the theme for this movie is just awesome, and much of the other sounds in the movie emphasise the campiness of the movie, but in a good way. Second, this movie has a lot of funny and memorable jokes. One of my favorites is when an illiterate farmer is looking at a barrel of nuclear waste, and in trying to read what is on the side of the container, points at it and says "Do not... open till... Christmas," with the last word being represented by a nuclear symbol. This movie is full of such silly jokes and campy dialogue.
Third, the movie gives you lots of things to think about, though because of the otherwise silly context, it never seems overbearing or condescending. Really, these situations just seem really wierd until you try to think about what is being said. One example of this involved a tied up girl on a couch, a really strange guy sitting next to her, and images of baby chickens being slaughtered on tv. It's freaky; it also makes you ask "what the hell is THAT about?"
Fourth, for such a campy movie, the characters are actually fairly well established early on, and developed nicely throughout the movie. In fact, there's a lot more characterization involved here than in most hollywood block busters. If you actually like this movie, you won't easily forget Ellie May, or the drunk mute guy, or the Tobacco man. The characters here are definitely not your cookie cutter horror movie kills-waiting-to-happen.
And the fifth reason that I love this movie... it's unabashedly consistent, fun cheesiness. It doesn't try to be your typical horror-comedy, it's just total silliness (e.g., the kills are gory, but not gruesome).
If you're a fan of horror-comedy and/or silly low-budget movies, then I'd definitely recommend this one. It's one of the best that I've seen.
5 stars for a few reasons September 1, 2006
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Normally a movie of such low budget and acting skills would not receive about 3 stars. There are a few reasons why I have given it 4 stars.
1. The ending of the film is great. Most low budget zombie films are good until the ending.
2. The scenes of the people running away from the zombies are creative and funny. This movie was made over 10 years ago and used the comedy part of a man acting like a zombie to avoid being lunch.
3. The strange rednecks bring characters to each of the zombies instead of random walking rotting corpses.
4. The guy drinking various alcohols in each scene is great.
5. Each time you watch it, you catch something new.
6. Zombies don't look like video game zombies like the ones in "House of the Dead" and other bad films like that. Zombies are bad but bad in a funny way.
7. Using the still to spread the zombie plague is great. Even how the moonshine is dropped off shows a few classic scenes.
one of the best crappy movies May 4, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is def. a real "B" or Indie movie, shot on video. But as far as super low budget zombie movies, this is the best. Seems to be around the same budget as films like Flesh Freaks, and Dead Life for example and this blows them out of the water. Its funny and gory..holds true to TROMA Entertainment. Noticable influences from The Toxic Avenger, Zombie, and Day of The Dead. If your a zombie or troma fan, buy this dvd.
