Review of Trailer Park of Terror (2008) by Carl M — 11 Jan 2013

As far as Straight to DVD horror films are concerned, Trailer Park of Terror is one of the better low-budget shockers. The film is half Exploitation film, half horror comedy and half zombie film. I was pleasantly surprised by this film and despite all the negative reviews that this movie has received; this is a very entertaining film that will certainly appeal to the most die-hard horror fan.

The film does have its fair share of flaws, but it is still worth seeing for its sheer ridiculous premise. I enjoy these low-budget horror films more than the big Hollywood horror flicks because they tend to me much satisfying in terms of originality.

Big Studios are more interested in remaking films and the sheer lack of creating something new and interested is more of a low-budget thing. Trailer Park of Terror is one of those films. This is a well made film that is demented from start to finish and a must see for genre fans tired with the current state of horror.

Director Steven Goldman delivers something unique here with a cool idea, a decent cast and effective comedic moments that delivers plenty of shocks, chills and laughter. Films like this are rare in the genre and it would be great studios would want to create something refreshing once in a while instead of remaking every single horror film that has been released in the 1980's.

For a low-budget feature, Trailer Park of Terror gets a lot more accomplished than most big budget horror yarns. This is the type of film that proves that you're able to pull off something very entertaining with the smallest ideas.

If you come across this film and you enjoy horror, and then definitely give this one a shot, you'll be glad you did.
