I'm the creature from the hillbilly lagoon, and I'm a beautiful monster from outer space too

Wow, I never thought it would be possible in today's ultra-PC world, but we actually have a real live hixploitation Horror movie on our hands. Now, for those of you that don't know the hixploitation genre was a particular brand of exploitation film-making that featured rednecks and other rural people, mostly from the American South. Needless to say these films tend to be pretty nasty offensive to almost everyone so they don't get made anymore. Also, the genre has not been adopted by the pretentious academic circle like the blaxploitation has leaving these films in even more obscurity. That's not entirely a bad thing because that has allowed many of these films have kept there edge over the years and they are still 100% pure exploitation, untouched by anyone outside the realm of die hard exploitation fan geek-dom. This all brings us to "Creature from the Hillbilly Lagoon", a film so wild and offensive I'm shocked it was made in 2005 and not 1975.

Now, the plot is pretty simple, a group of college kids and their professor are being stalked by a mutant man-fish in a small redneck area. The creature was created by toxic waste of course and he is very angry. "The Creature from the Hillbilly Lagoon" is an extremely low budget movie, so don't expect any name actors here. Even then, the cast still does a decent if not spectacular job. Its also fairly well written and directed when compared to other films of its kind. But what sets "Creature from the Hillbilly Lagoon: apart and makes it so special is the large amount of political incorrectness on display. This movie features offensive dialog, lots of nudity, rape, obnoxious characters, pot smoking and cheep gore effects. In other words: this movie rocks. One redneck is even killed when he is stabbed with a beer can in his heart. I only really have two complaints about this movie. For one thing the sound quality was pretty poor and during a few difficult shots (like a car crash) EC Horror comic style art work is used in favor of actually showing the event. Now, the artwork is cool enough and this was done purely for budget reasons, but I still would have liked to see the actual event. Overall though this is an enjoyable film, if you like Troma movies you'll dig this one.
