Trailer Park of Terror
We’ve taken a little break from reviews for the holidays, what with it being a busy time for families coming together and all, but because of that I’ve had the pleasure of seeing a great little film that likes to be called Trailer Park of Terror
My sister, Stinky, came to town and bought this movie over to our house. As with any other rockabilly, trailer park, zombie movie, I wasn’t really expecting much but this vid really went well above and beyond anything I could have dreamed of. No other imaginary Trailer Park of Terror could have been any better than the reality that I was lucky enough to witness. It’s fun, and that’s all. It’s the kind of fun that makes you have fun, no matter how sour were before.
This movie is what you’d get if you mixed My Name is Earl with a dash of Reverend Horton Heat and stewed it with Dawn of the Dead for six hours on low heat. And it’s every bit as delicious as that sounds.
The story starts out slow enough, and really doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but the actors really seem to own their characters in a campy yet convincing way.
The one place that this movie really falters is in the digital effects, so please, forget about those altogether. Forgetting those will leave you way more time to pay attention to the bright shining star that is the practical effects anyway. They’re not totally believable, but dammit they’re close enough, and they’re serious fun.
I had a blast throughout the whole film, even though Stinky fell asleep, and I highly suggest you check it out one night when you have nothing better to do.
‘Til next time, stay tuned,
