Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
All "Norma" (Nichole Hiltz) wanted was a chance to get out from the trailer park she lived in and start a new life with her boyfriend. But when he comes to visit her, he is accidentally killed by the trailer park ruffians and she believes that her chance is gone forever. The devil then appears and convinces her that she can have revenge on those who took away her golden opportunity in exchange for her soul. So she accepts the weapon the devil gives her and kills all the residents of the trailer park. After that she burns the trailer park down and kills herself. Many years later a church van full of troubled young adults gets caught in a storm and comes to a stop near that same trailer park which has mysteriously reappeared. And Norma is there to greet them. Anyway, rather than reveal the surprises which follow I will just say that this was a surprisingly good movie which contains both horror and gore in equal measures. It also has some very dark humor throughout, along with some very graphic scenes which might not appeal to those unaccustomed to a violent gore-fest of this type. The fact that it was nominated for a "Fangoria Chainsaw Award" in 2009 should be a clear indicator that this film is definitely not for the squeamish.
Yes, I enjoyed his flick. Nichole Hiltz is great as Norma. I thought I saw her in My Name is Earl, but that is Jamie Pressly. I was fooled as were some others. Both actresses are great as trashy hot hillbillies. Loved the red dress on Norma showing ample cleavage. Wow! Everyone knows the plot.Norma is not 'appreciated for who she is', so she dates someone out of the trailer park. Big mistake. The trailer billies punch his lights out. Ticked off, she deals with the devil and blows up the park with her in it, but only to exists in some sort of purgatory waiting for innocent victims to show up and become dinner as she become a living zombie with the others. The funny parts are their goofy characters, which they play well.The trailer park becomes a zombie park and the residents become alive again, torturing their visitors. Each one had their own unique 'personality' from meat eaters to the 'jerky' guy, to the guitar guy.The visitors are troubled teens with their own set of issues. Between the zombies and the troubled teens, these are a lot of characters to handle and movie around and develop given their time on the screen. But I think the director handled them all with finesses. In an ensemble casts such as this, there is not much room for deep character.The movie reminded me of Mortville to fans of John Waters. The movie Desperate Living takes place in Mortville, a town of homeless people that live and play in a garbage dump. The blurb for the flick was "who are these people, where do they go when the sun goes down", which of course was a mandate to see it.Special effects in Trailer Park were superb. I mean who can just treat the zombies as real characters with out spilling the beans...er, I mean guts...of the character. Music was good and appropriate. I think the flick was under rated. It is really above most zombie movies and had a great cast,set design,sound track,lighting design and direction. Script pretty good from a comic book title.My copy came with a DVD of P2 another good film. So I got quite a bargain in the two DVD set.Nichole Hiltz has been in a lot of flicks and I will look for her in new ones....great job. Her and Jamie P. could rule a huge trailer park. That's a wrap, nice job everyone.By the way, if we treat woman 'for who they are', rather than as piece of meat we can avoid such zombie scenarios in the future. A warning to chauvinists everywhere.
"Trailer Park of Terror" starts with young Norma about to finally leave her trailer park for good.When her fiancée is murdered by rednecks she makes a deal with long-haired Grim Reaper,so she can exterminate all of her tormentors.Unfortunately Norma and her victims are now cursed to be undead,coming back every night to kill any unfortunate victims that wander in after dark.The victims include a group of troubled teens heading to religious camp.Norma herself is the leader of the pack and is just as vicious as her old trailer park foes."Trailer Park of Terror" offers some gruesome scenes of torture and cannibalism accompanied by the singing of Roach from on top of his trailer.Zombified redneck plays his electric guitar with style.The soundtrack of the film is fantastic and the script makes fun of trailer parks,southerners and fat people.The set design is great:the trailers look gloomy and disgusting.7 out of 10.
I thought this was an excellent film. I It was well cast, well shot and well written. It isn't a scary movie, I think the classification "Horror" isn't exactly suiting. It has the gore required, however it comes off too funny to be a true horror. It seems more like a comedy action flick, with some horror elements. Thats not to say its a bad movie, its highly entertaining.The trailer park zombies are very entertaining, and capture the redneck stereotype perfectly. Duct tape truly does fix everything. The only beef I had with the movie was the anti-climatic ending. It was going so well, with the demolition derby, and the southern rock complimenting the scene just right, but then they slapped together the very end, and it leaves the viewer sitting on the edge of the seat thinking, "Thats it?" Otherwise, a great, entertaining movie, worth a purchase, or at least a rental.
