Trailer Park of Terror

Norma is a pretty young thing who has had more than her fill of the chauvinist thugs that live in and and pretty much rule her trailer park. She is all set to get out of there, but things don't go quite according to plan...This brings us to a decade or so later, when a bus of wild teenagers who are undergoing a faith intervention, wind up at the aforementioned trailer park.

'Trailer Park of Terror' relies heavily on stereotypes. From the uncouth, sickening residents that occupy the trailer park, to the goth chick, the whore and the jock. Saying that, the cast mostly put their all in, and performances are above average.

This flick is also chock full of excellent one-liners, and I found it very amusing. It doesn't look distinctly low budget, and there are a good few stylish camera tricks here and there. The gore is good enough, and there's one particularly nasty scene.

There's not much in the way of plot here, most things are left unexplained. I found that rather interesting. My only quip is the ending, which felt very rushed and disappointing. My score would have been an 8, otherwise.

All in all, Trailer Park of a Terror is a good tongue-in-cheek, entertaining flick, with plenty of hilarious one-liners and memorable characters.

Worth your time.

don't listen to all of the super low ratings for this film. of course you can't really compare it to bigger budget horror/comedies. it's no Shaun of the Dead by any means, but this movie has it's shining moments, and there are definitely more than a few.

the movie starts extremely strong. i'm not a fan of country music, but Trace Adkins cameo at the beginning was very well done and entertaining and led right into the rest of the movie.

of course the biggest factor that can determine whether a movie in this genre is good or bad is the script. i have to say that a lot of the one-liners in this movie are pretty clever and you'll find yourself laughing practically through the whole film, and not at things the filmmaker's didn't mean to be funny either.

if you're a die hard horror fan, this movie is right up your alley. there is enough blood to satisfy your appetite... and for fans of dark comedies, you'll enjoy it as well.

I liked this movie because of it's soundtrack and the no name actors A few hiccups in the film but for the most part a pretty decent story and a lot of good laughs. My favorite was the guitar playing dude who later becomes a guitar slinging zombie The big fat jerky maker was another great character Overall this movie was cheesy but great and very well filmed - I think the sets were great and the director did a good job. I probably wouldn't watch it again for many years but still a great Halloween flick - For a low budget horror flick it was dead on the money and the comic relief was just right - The make up was great and the gore was pretty cool too the no namers were alright and their demises were also just right. Certainly a better flick than many of the more recent ones to come out

I was not sure what to expect going into TPOF. Obviously there was going to be trailer park and terror, but from the box I was assuming it was going to be another attempt at a independent zombie movie. I was wrong, dead wrong! TPOF is not a zombie movie, which is good (just because of the saturation), it also had an interesting setup which gave us some insight to the characters (Terry from 3's company is still hot!) but I had a serious problem with the storyline.

The are some flaws which should have been addressed, in addition to some unfunny scenes which were unnecessary. However the production value, set design and SPFX was above average from my perspective. The acting was decent plus being a no-budget producer myself, I know first hand how important these aspects are.

I could not recommend renting this unless you like slasher horror movies, good gore or dark humor and this is not a zombie movie, so if your expecting a zombie movie you will be disappointed. JP Welcome to Dreadville Series

After a promising, stylish opening involving the shotgun slaughter of an entire trailer park, I settled in for what I thought was going to be a great little movie. It had a lot going for it in the early stages - superb production values, tight direction, good actors, and a steaming hot southern-rock soundtrack. It even flaunted the classic old tropes of the severe line of thunderstorms moving in to isolate the area and the hick locals telling the protagonists to avoid taking *that* route. So much potential!

But as we all learned at school, potential energy must be converted into kinetic energy in order for work to be performed... and, frustratingly, Trailer Park of Terror just stayed right on the starting line and didn't really go anywhere until the end credits rolled.

The big problem is that the movie has no sense of direction. It just doesn't know what it wants to be. Instead of finding solid footing, it tapdances clumsily from one style of horror to the next. Ghosts one moment, zombies the next, torture/slasher grindcore the next.

Likewise, it can't find an even tone either - it's funny one moment, and too disturbing to be funny the next. Exciting one moment, and meandering the next. Scary one moment and painfully awkward the next.

It never manages to merge these components together into a cohesive whole the way other successful comedy horrors have done (i.e. Severance, Behind the Mask, Undead, Dead and Breakfast, Bad taste etc.) and the end result seems empty and pointless as a result.

In conclusion, if you're a hardcore gore fanatic, it might be worth a rental as there is enough here to satisfy, but if you like even the tiniest bit of plot and development in your horror, leave it on the shelf.
