Leofwine_draca TRAILER PARK OF TERROR is an astonishingly bad B-movie horror flick that feels like a cheap rip-off of the work put out by Rob Zombie. This trashy movie sees a bunch of dumb characters heading into a trailer park filled with even dumber characters. Eventually they all get taken prisoner by a bunch of undead demons, who are merely bad actors wearing rubber masks. Plenty of torture and gratuity ensues, all playing out without the slightest wit or interest. The disappointing cast's sole redeeming feature is the underrated Lew Temple, of THE WALKING DEAD fame, but the rest of the no-hopers make no impact, and nor does the film.

Scott LeBrun 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.

oneguyrambling Plot: After a pointless first ten minutes that made no sense we move to the same old plot we always get; ie a bunch of young people are stranded outside a trailer park where they seek shelter, and in a night of unimaginable horror one by one they find that not all is as it seems.Dun-Dun-DUNNNNNNNNN!!!! Budget: Even more inexplicable, this looks shiny and new. You can actually see that they have spent money polishing this turd.What was so horribly wrong then Smart-Guy? Aside from the generic clichéd plot. The lack of laughs. The general inanity of proceedings. The fact that I swear the lead chick was Jamie Pressley from My Name Is Earl and I still refuse to believe it wasn't even though the DVD cover and IMDb beg to differ.Nothing, this was just greeeeeaaaaaaattttttttt.Final Rating – 4.5 / 10. Bad paint by numbers exercise, bet Jamie Pressley is happy she wasn't in it.If you liked this review (or even if you didn't) check out oneguyrambling.com

nedzter Now i do realize this film does follow the same old slasher flick premise where a group of teenagers(including the cliché characters e.g. the cool chick, horny boys and a goth)are pitted against all odds to survive the sadistic events of a situation they don't understand. But this film knows it and has fun it with. I could explain the plot but you've heard it all before, what i can tell you is the cinematography is excellent, the make up is fantastic, the special effects are well done and the acting is solid. I forgot to mention the script, it doesn't take itself seriously, good. Thats the point of the film, have a good time and watch some blood fly. You don't need a big budget to make an entertaining film. Just a big heart.
