Trailer Park Trash

Although Trailer Park of Terror, a horror/comedy aimed primarily at a teen audience, fails to offer much in the way of either scares or laughs, it does manage to deliver quite a lot of graphic nastiness, plus a little bit of sheer lunacy, thus making it just about worthwhile viewing for fans of gore and cinematic craziness.

Based on a comic I've never heard of, this bloody piece of supernatural hillbilly horror sees a bus-load of delinquents, en route to Jesus Camp, making an impromptu visit to a trailer park after their bus collides with a lorry. On arrival at the park, the group are greeted by busty blonde Norma who provides them with shelter for the night; unfortunately for the gang, Norma is actually a ghost who, along with her dead trailer park trash pals, is condemned to collect souls for the devil.

With such twisted moments as a zombie hooker giving hand relief to a teen before yanking off the poor guy's todger (when she 'pulls off' a customer, she REALLY pulls him off!), a bloke being skinned and boiled alive by one particularly nasty ghost who prides himself on his prize jerky, some splendidly sordid sex scenes, and a mouldy rock 'n' roll spook who plays a mean guitar, Trailer park of Terror can never be accused of being boring, but never amounts to anything more than a throwaway slice of splattery silliness.

5.5 out of 10, rounded up to 6 for IMDb.
