Yes, I enjoyed his flick. Nichole Hiltz is great as Norma. I thought I saw her in My Name is Earl, but that is Jamie Pressly. I was fooled as were some others. Both actresses are great as trashy hot hillbillies. Loved the red dress on Norma showing ample cleavage. Wow! Everyone knows the plot.Norma is not 'appreciated for who she is', so she dates someone out of the trailer park. Big mistake. The trailer billies punch his lights out. Ticked off, she deals with the devil and blows up the park with her in it, but only to exists in some sort of purgatory waiting for innocent victims to show up and become dinner as she become a living zombie with the others. The funny parts are their goofy characters, which they play well.The trailer park becomes a zombie park and the residents become alive again, torturing their visitors. Each one had their own unique 'personality' from meat eaters to the 'jerky' guy, to the guitar guy.The visitors are troubled teens with their own set of issues. Between the zombies and the troubled teens, these are a lot of characters to handle and movie around and develop given their time on the screen. But I think the director handled them all with finesses. In an ensemble casts such as this, there is not much room for deep character.The movie reminded me of Mortville to fans of John Waters. The movie Desperate Living takes place in Mortville, a town of homeless people that live and play in a garbage dump. The blurb for the flick was "who are these people, where do they go when the sun goes down", which of course was a mandate to see it.Special effects in Trailer Park were superb. I mean who can just treat the zombies as real characters with out spilling the beans...er, I mean guts...of the character. Music was good and appropriate. I think the flick was under rated. It is really above most zombie movies and had a great cast,set design,sound track,lighting design and direction. Script pretty good from a comic book title.My copy came with a DVD of P2 another good film. So I got quite a bargain in the two DVD set.Nichole Hiltz has been in a lot of flicks and I will look for her in new ones....great job. Her and Jamie P. could rule a huge trailer park. That's a wrap, nice job everyone.By the way, if we treat woman 'for who they are', rather than as piece of meat we can avoid such zombie scenarios in the future. A warning to chauvinists everywhere.

I don't know why some people watch horrors expecting them to have the best actresses, actors, story lines, special effects etc. There are many low budget (or non blockbuster) horrors that far surpass their huge budget/blockbuster counterparts - which often turn out to be a "flop". This is one of these films.By all means if you only like psychological thriller type horrors, this is not the film for you. If you are a true horror fan and can appreciate a horror film on the "horror" alone, you'll most likely quite like this one. The acting was pretty good, the storyline is perfect imo (not too detailed enough to detract from the gore/terror and not too weak that you want to smack the TV) for the type of film it is, effects are actually really good imo. This is quite simply, a film that does not get hung up on trying to appeal with a love story or some amazing intricate storyline that bends the viewers mind. Do not mistake this for a bad thing. I was expecting a much lower quality of film and while I wouldn't rank it as one of the best horrors, I certainly found it enjoyable to watch, especially once it really got into it (not including the opening scene as I found that easy to watch also).And personally, the songs throughout it I thought were really good too - even if they're not what I would listen to, they were perfect for this film.

this is a fairly decent flick zombie type flick.it's not your run of the mill for the genre as far as how the zombies came to be.that story is actually pretty interesting.i liked that original aspect of it.the zombies themselves don't make an appearance until over halfway through the movie,but once they do,things get ugly and bloody disgusting.the movie is more of a dark comedy and quasi-spoof than horror,in my opinion.it pays tribute to(or rips off,depending on your perspective),many classic,and not so classic horror films.it's not original,but,like i said,the set up is great.but it is lots of fun,(even funny at times)very entertaining,and fast paced.there are also some great songs in the movie.i will definitely seek out the soundtrack.for me,Trailer Park of Terror is a 7/10

"Trailer Park of Terror" starts with young Norma about to finally leave her trailer park for good.When her fiancée is murdered by rednecks she makes a deal with long-haired Grim Reaper,so she can exterminate all of her tormentors.Unfortunately Norma and her victims are now cursed to be undead,coming back every night to kill any unfortunate victims that wander in after dark.The victims include a group of troubled teens heading to religious camp.Norma herself is the leader of the pack and is just as vicious as her old trailer park foes."Trailer Park of Terror" offers some gruesome scenes of torture and cannibalism accompanied by the singing of Roach from on top of his trailer.Zombified redneck plays his electric guitar with style.The soundtrack of the film is fantastic and the script makes fun of trailer parks,southerners and fat people.The set design is great:the trailers look gloomy and disgusting.7 out of 10.
