Editorial Review:
Six troubled high school students and their chaperone are returning from a retreat when their bus crashes, stranding them in the middle of trailer park hell - literally. Without warning, hillbilly zombies looking for fun begin slaughtering the teens in gruesome fashion. With a rockin' Southern-fried soundtrack, top-notch special effects and a devilish sense of humor, Trailer Park of Terror (based on the Imperium comic book series) is nasty fun for the hardcore horror fan.
Trailer Park of Terror Reviews:
Trailer Park of Terror 
2009-11-07 - Good price for this slasher type movie, i really liked this movie it was a good old scary movie 5+++++
Trailer Park of Laughs & Gore 
2009-09-28 - We all know that Zombie flicks can be good, bad or ugly, this was just hilarious & wasn't what I would call standard Zombie fare! There were a couple of almost made me jump moments, however more time was spent laughing and watching my son roll his eyes. Best of all you learn that Duct tape really can fix anything!!! I honestly wish I had borrowed this movie instead of buying it - I bought it hoping to see more of Trace Adkins but his role is very small, all in all it is worth a watch and a giggle.
A very pleasant surprise.
2009-09-10 - Trailer Park of Terror (Steven Goldmann, 2008)
By far the most pleasant surprise of the week's movie watching, Trailer Park of Terror is another comic book adaptation that managed to get no distribution in an age where the comic book adaptation is king (cf. My review of The Dead One a few months ago). Goldmann's last feature effort was the awful Toby Keith vehicle Broken Bridges, and to be honest, I wasn't expecting a great deal. Goldmann's continuing fascination with bad country music continues here (there's a Trace Adkins cameo), but other than that, this was a very fun ride.
High-school beauty queen Norma (Nichole Hiltz, recently of the TV series In Plain Sight) is stuck in the trailer park, but she sees the possibility of an escape: she's found herself a boyfriend from outside, and hopes she can use him as her ticket out. Until, that is, some of the less savory inhabitants of the place decide he's not good enough for their little Norma and show him the door. Permanently. Enraged, Norma makes a deal with the devil (Adkins), who gives her a sawed-off shotgun. Oh, yeah. Fast-forward a few years, to an idealistic youth pastor (Matthew del Negro, probably best-known at this point for a minor role on The Sopranos) and the six charges with whom he's spent the last week in a woodland retreat. After an accident during a rainstorm, they find themselves at the same trailer park, now deserted except for Norma, who invites them in for coffee and scary stories, and insists they spend the night...
There seem to be two types of people who watch this movie. There are those who find the first half-hour, the story of Norma and her deal with the devil, to have been full of promise, and the rest of the movie bad, and those who thought the first half-hour was dull as dishwater and the rest of it was fun. I liked both parts for different reasons. The first half-hour does, in fact, feel like an entirely different movie. There's an element of absurdity to it, because Goldmann takes all the stereotypes and amps them up to the nth degree, but Norma's pathos is entirely believable despite the ludicrousness of the situation itself. Then we get to the pastor and the kids, and while the plot here changes gears entirely, I thought the quality of the acting stayed level. What does change is that the absurdity sticks out like a sore thumb, rather than achieving the same delicate balance it did in the first part. Thus, while the entire movie is a comedy-horror hybrid, the comedy part feels a lot more natural in the first bit, and like it's trying way too hard in the last. I was more than willing to forgive it, because there's a lot of darned good acting in this flick, given the budget they must have had; in the world of modern no-budget horror, a lot of aspects of this film put it right up there with Deadbirds and Shallow Ground, two of my favorites of recent years. No, it's not without its pitfalls, but so much about this movie speaks of a guy who really gets both comic-book adaptations and horror films that I found it absolutely impossible not to like, bad country music and all. See this one. *** ½
A B move to remind you why you love B movies. 
2009-09-06 - This is probably the best 'B' horror move in years, at least since Army of Darkness. It has great, memorable characters, great special effects, some very funny moments, and some good scares. I can't recall any movie that blended horror and comedy so well. If you love funny and you love scary, this is a movie that belongs in your collection.
Good zombie movie.....also gross
2009-08-19 - There is so many zombie movies out there these days. Some are good , some are bad
and some are now even worth looking at.
But, being a zombie fan up to a point, i decided to go with the Trailer park of terror movie, caused it presents itself as different. And different is what you get. Decent acting, good music, great makeup and lots of gross stuff mixed in with
some comedy makes this movie a must see....but only if you stomach gross effects
mixed in with some good rock and roll.
