Trailer Park of Terror

Which isn't that much to be honest, but it still is a nice movie to watch. Especially if you like horror movies. It doesn't give you anything new, yes, but it's nicely told (edited) and shot, there are some nice effects in it and it even has some funny characters. That should indicate that it's not a straight horror movie then, so if you like your horror straight and absolutely derived of any "funny", than this isn't for you ...

If, on the other hand, you don't mind a bit of (crude) humor, you will like this movie. Again, maybe not love, but at least like. The decision is yours now ...

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.

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

Hicks and horror sure seem to go hand in hand. Being at the mercy of stereotypically sleazy and sadistic backwoods boors has been a theme in movies going back a long way; as the hayseed horror hosts at the beginning say, we have Herschell Gordon Lewis and "Two Thousand Maniacs!" to thank for that. Our protagonists this time are a troubled bunch of kids being chaperoned by a well meaning pastor; they have a bus accident in the rain and come upon the trailer park of the title, which the audience already knows, from watching the extended prologue, has a tragic history. Now the undead redneck residents are going to have themselves some fun torturing these poor dumb schmucks. At least with this gang, there's no guarantee of who will make it out alive if indeed anybody does. Based on the comic book series of the same name, this production sure creates just the right look for this show, with some juicy atmosphere. The music is pretty kick ass, with the character of Roach, played by Myk Watford, sometimes breaking into song. Country music star Trace Adkins, who co-stars as the mysterious stranger, also supplies the ditty "Welcome to Hell". Rabid horror fans will dig the shameless, in your face gore fest that "Trailer Park of Terror" ultimately turns into. The cast is populated with some familiar faces and some not so familiar: Rob Zombie regular Lew Temple is Marv, super sexy Nichole Hiltz ("May") is the young Norma who sets the plot in motion, extremely delectable stunt woman / actress Michelle Lee is Miss China, the lovely Priscilla Barnes ("The Devil's Rejects", 'Three's Company') the ill-fated Mama, Duane Whitaker ("Pulp Fiction", "From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money") the creepy Sheriff Keys, and ubiquitous "Hey, it's that guy!" actor Tracey Walter is the "ancient" trucker. Provided all of this is to your tastes, this is a good deal of depraved, demented fun, that's pretty relentless once it really gets going. An undeniable highlight is seeing one of the victims being flayed and eventually deep fried. "Trailer Park of Terror" comes highly recommended. Eight out of 10.

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.
