Redneck Zombies
A barrel of radioactive waste is lost out in the woods. Some demented rednecks find it and use it as part of their still. Everybody who drinks from the liquor they produced turns into a zombie.
Why it matters
Radioactive hillbilly horror meets low-budget gore in this cult classic slacker zombie romp.
- A scrappy blend of backwoods splatter and mutant contagion, hitting that sweet spot between Troma-style absurdity and grindhouse grit.
- Practical effects that lean into gooey, messy charm—think cheap but enthusiastic, with a side of camp.
- Perfect for fans of regional ’80s horror who revel in that do-it-yourself vibe and unapologetic goofiness.
- Its goofy premise masks a subtext about contamination and rural decay, making it an oddball artifact of Cold War paranoia filtered through moonshine-soaked madness.
