Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Uriah43 Let me start off by saying that I like zombie films and I like comedies. But mixing the two is a difficult task to accomplish with any degree of success. Very difficult. That said, add in an extremely low budget, bad acting, bad writing and cheap cinematography and one can probably imagine what to expect: A low-budget zombie film that lacks both comedy and horror. Yes, there is lots of gore for those who enjoy that sort of thing. But gore--in and of itself--is only useful in enhancing a film and shouldn't be relied upon to carry a movie. That takes acting. And, like I said, this movie is missing that key component. Now, some could say that the acting was supposed to be bad and it's what gives the "comedy" its flavor. Okay, I get that. But let's get real, I know a good movie when I see one--and this isn't one of them. Having warned everyone ahead of time I would now like to point out a couple of things that were somewhat positive. First, considering the extremely low budget constraints ($10,000) I think the director (Pericles Lewnes) did a very good job with what he had to work with. Second, I thought the scene where the medical student (played by Anthony Burlington-Smith) performed the autopsy while on LSD was a little funny. But that's about it. In short, this film is about as cheap as it gets and its only value might be as a gag with friends who enjoy drinking beer and watching movies together. Just make sure to bring lots of beer. Better yet, it's probably a good idea to get a quick head start on the beer first. Simply put, if the objective was to create a bad movie then that goal was accomplished. But I see no need applaud it.
Mike Leylekian OK people..my first review on IMDb..yeah..starts with this movie..how desperate..hehe..but anyway...watch it if u like some gore and funny horror movie clichés...low budget but the director managed to get it on and give the viewers a nice view of how rednecks will be if they become zombies...The camera was good..the actors were not bad at all for a third degree movie like this and the gore was even better...it was disgusting in a nice way which made me want more to see. Don't let your kids watch this movie though...its not that scary its just funny and cheesy and gory...a film u can watch with your friends and make fun of while making funny comments all the time about the movie...I recommend it if you are into gore and zombie movies...ENJOY
yourmotheratemydog715 If you're thinking about watching "Redneck Zombies", let me first tell you that it's a very, very strange film. The acting is almost mind-bendingly bad, the gore meter is high, and it, of course, has a lot of redneck zombies. I recommend it, but wow. The main word I will use to describe this film is "Wow." So, the film starts out with a black soldier in a Jeep, bringing toxic waste to a different location. While he tries to give his dog a joint, the toxic waste falls off of his jeep. The soldier tries to retrieve it, but a redneck, Ferd Mertz (AKA Fatty, because he is one of the fattest people I have ever seen), holds a gun to the soldier's head, takes the waste and gives it to a bunch of rednecks, who think it is moonshine and start to sell it. The breakout redneck performance is Billy-Bob, who thinks he's stuck in a girl's body, and likes to be called Ellie May. Yeah. It's an odd film.Miraculously, at the same time, there are a bunch of campers camping out very close to the rednecks. They include a fat chick, a black guy (who is probably the worst actor I have ever seen, more on that later), a gay guy who carries around hundreds of bottles of deodorant, and a guy who has absolutely NO lines, and just drinks liquor the entire time.Soon, it is evident that the moonshine turns everyone who drinks it into flesh-eating REDNECK ZOMBIES!!! What follows is an over-the-top gorefest which is a bunch of fun, but it's probably not for everyone.If you don't like Troma, you're not gonna like this. If you want Hollywood production values, you're NOT gonna like this. If you want Oscar-worthy performances, you're DEFINITELY not gonna like this. If you want some of the worst acting you've ever seen, if you like Troma, and if you want to watch a film that looks like it was made for $36.45, this is exactly what you're wanting.It's supposed to be bad, and if you're wanting a good horror film, you'll be sorely disappointed. First off, the acting. This acting actually makes you sad. I don't know how, but it actually is SO bad, it makes you depressed. The black camper is most likely the WORST actor I have ever seen in my entire life, but then again, basically every performance in this movie are some of the worst I've ever seen. I don't know if they were trying to be the worst they can be, but if they did, they succeeded with flying colors.The gore is actually pretty good for such a low-budget trash movie. There's some impressive kills, and it's obvious that the only thing they spent any money on was the gore. It's probably the high point of the movie.I don't know what else to say about this. It's the definition of "so bad it's good". I was gonna give it an average 6 out of 10, but upon seeing how low the average score for the movie was, I decided I'll bump the score up 1 point, and give it an above average 7.Watch out for the best parts; the gay soldier that comes to the rescue and happily runs into a mob of zombies ("Haven't you ever seen Deliverance?"), the black soldier (the only line he says to the gay soldier is "F%$# you.") and the death scene where the actor suddenly changes shirts halfway through his bloody death. It's just great.7 out of 10 Go see it!
Jsimpson5 A former co-worker of mine told me about this film a few weeks ago, and I bought the film just to see how interesting this film could be. The basic gist of the film is that a drum of nuclear waste falls off the back of US Army Jeep in the rural parts of Maryland. Some rednecks get the drum thinking that it is Moonshine (because they do not know how to read, or they are just stupid) and give it to people and become flesh eating zombies.The film itself is not meant to be a Oscar winner, but it falls under the "it's so bad it's good" group. The special effects are very cheap, but it still fun to watch. I could write a book on how corny and cheesy the lines in this movie are, but I am not going to do that. The lines in this film are really bad, but it's so funny at some of the stuff that is said in this film. The gore in this film is is at times over the top. There seems to be more gore in this film, then Dawn of the Dead.The acting is over the top at times. Mainly Bob, the pre-vet student is starts tripping while doing an autopsy on one of the zombies. Drinking Dude, how could I forget him. He always drinks, at out of no where pulls out bottles of liquor and drinks it.If you like Troma films, then watch this. If you like gore b flicks, then watch this. In my opinion this is one of the best b movies of the 80's.
