Not what you're thinking ... not a bad thing

I haven't seen the comic tale this is based on and I would have by-passed this DVD except for the title. I'm old school where "The Horror of ..." and "The Terror of ..." and similar titles dominated these kinds of movies. Understand I didn't expect anything but it was a buck at Redbox and I couldn't resist that title.

This review is after a second viewing. A second viewing.

Not a great movie but one of those embarrassing favorites.

This film just goes haywire and runs off the map and all over the place and, if you're bent just right, is dark and disturbing hilarious.

Trace Adkins is the devil and when you first see him he's urinating in a field and his urine hits the ground and emits plumes of steam. He's a lightweight bookend for the story that follows.

That was my first hint this might be "something different".

It is.

It might not be something "different enough" for you but it never failed to entertain ... something I demand.

Trailer tramp lady has reason to eliminate everyone in the trailer park, Devil gives her a way, trailer park denizens become zombie-kind-of-things and, years later, a group of youthful Christian-Campers (don't you love it?) make their way to the park.

Everything you can imagine, and some you won't, ensues.

Trace provides one bookend and a quote from Norma, before she becomes a mass murderer, provides another.

But the movie isn't about tidy details.

It's about the jolly horror romp in between.

It is a jolly horror romp.

Hee Haw!
