Norma (Nichole Hiltz) seeks vengeance thanks to a mysterious man in black (County music star, Trace Adkins) and kills all the residence of the trailer park she lives in after the boy she pinned her hopes and dreams to gets murdered by one of the sleaze-bag residents. She then proceeds to blow herself up. This isn't the end of the story as some time later a group of troubled youths chaperoned by Pastor Lewis get stuck in the ill-fated park after a freak thunderstorm. A hospitable older Norma regales the stranded group with the select parts of her story before they learn a bit too late that there's redneck zombies in their midst.
The opening prologue to the movie with a disgruntled Norma showed a bit of promise and boasted my hopes up a tad. Sadly when the main movie starts with the introduction of the delinquents those hopes were dashed and replaced with a meandering generic 'hillbilly horror' film that doesn't offer up anything new (2001 Maniacs did it better). The last half hour or so was a tad better then the bulk of the film, but I found it to be too little too late to save the movie. Unless you just have to get your dose of hick zombies then feel free to skip this one.
My Grade: C-
DVD Extras: both the R and Unrated versions; 'Life at the trailer park' featurette (9 minutes & 30 seconds of actors giving interviews in character which gets old fast)
