Review by Fred Beldin

Redneck Zombies is a cheap, shot-on-video production that plays the whole scenario for laughs, much like the Troma films that inspired it (Troma eventually released it on video as well). The gore is relentless and messy, with buckets of fake vomit, butcher-shop leftovers, and what appears to be strawberry jam splashed across the sets. Redneck Zombies spends an equal amount of time making easy jokes at the expense of poverty-stricken rural Caucasians (or "rednecks"), homosexuals, and a variety of human bodily functions. The only effective humor comes from the mysterious masked "tobacco man" who sells snuff from his truck like an ice-cream salesman (and then warns his customers in graphic detail about mouth cancer) and a few amusing/disturbing Texas Chainsaw Massacre tributes. Fans of Troma's like-minded features will swallow this barely competent mess whole, while the rest of the world will be appalled. Then again, with a title like Redneck Zombies, no one has any reason to expect anything other than what is delivered.
