Plot Details: This opinion reveals major details about the movie's plot.

If you know me, you know that I love Troma films (well, except for "Igor & The Lunatics", but that's another review for you to read.), and this one is a true classic from the little Hell's Kitchen, NY based film studio.

Young (at the time) filmmaker Pericles Lewnes always dreamed of having his name and Troma's name on the same film, so he gathered a bunch of friends and made a movie with a home video camera. That film was "Redneck Zombies." After a little thought, Troma CEO Lloyd Kaufman released the ultra cheap zombie film, and a cult classic was born.

The plot to this film is rather odd, but still in the spirit of Troma.

A barrel of experimental, radioactive, chemical weapon grade nuclear waste ended up in the hands of the Clemson family. Now, not knowing what the hell was in the barrel, the rednecks used it to make their new batch of moonshine.

After the green 'shine was finished Billy Bob/Elly May (played by Zoofeet, who looks strangely like Pericles Lewnes) delivered the brew to all the people of the nearby town.

As everyone began to drink the mix, they all began to transform into flesh eatin' hillbilly undead monsters with a hankerin' for some fresh meat

While all this is going on, a group of campers (wasted on weed) are just about to head home. They had no clue what was coming. They are slowly eaten by the zombies and have to run for their lives.

In all honesty, you never really notice the fact that it's filmed on a home camera, at least after the first few minutes.

The special effects are what you would expect from a mega-low budget film. Mostly cheap TV editing effects. But, I love the cheap effects sometimes more than the ILM effects from George Lucas and his evil, worthless "Star Wars" prequels (like they say, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it').

The only problem with this movie is the sound. Now, you should know that most of this movie was filmed outdoors, and anyone who knows anything about making movies knows that outdoor filming is a pain in the @$$ along the lines of sound. But, it isn't like the sound is horrid. It just gets garbled in places. At least the sound is great during the plot-heavy scenes (what few there are).

The extras on the DVD are your standard Troma fare. Studio tour, trivia quiz, trailers, and interviews. But, there isn't any commentary, which is something on damn near every Troma DVD made.

Overall, loyal reader, if you love cheesy films, zombie films, or Troma films, then this movie is perfect for you. You will love it and probably wear out your tape (unless you get it on DVD).

Trust me on this one. You'll thank me later.
