Based on the Imperium Comics series, Trailer Park of Terror.

During a raging storm, their bus crashes, hopelessly stranding them in the middle of the Trucker’s Triangle, a forgotten locus of consummate evil in the middle of nowhere. The hapless group seeks shelter for the night in a seemingly abandoned trailer park they find down the road. However, when the sun sets, it’s not refuge they find. Instead, terror finds them in the form of Norma, a damned redneck reaper with a killer body who dispenses vengeance and death aided by her cursed companions, a bloodthirsty brood of Undead trailer trash.

Lurid trashy treat that's something like what 2000 Maniacs would have been like if Tarantino had directed it. The story revolves around a trailer park that's burnt to the ground after one of its residents takes out revenge for the other locals killing her new boyfriend. Cut to present and a Christian youth worker is taking a bus load of messed up teens to a ranch to help them clean up. Only they end up breaking down and forced to seek help at a reborn version of the trailer park. The films highly entertaining aiming as much for comic effect as much as scares. The fact its got its tongue firmly in its cheek helps hide the fact the basic plots been done various times before. The gores top notch very 90's era feeling with some prime bloody gut munching limb ripping and the best bed based head decapitation since Necromantic 2. The actings like wise solid thanks to the well rounded characters specially the redneck trailer trash zombies. What more can you ask we are even treated to a guitar playing and singing Elvis styled zombie. Comes highly recommended specially if your in the mood for some mindless good old school comedy gore. Herschell Gordon Lewis & Frank Henenlotter would of been proud and heres hoping Trailer Park of Terrors director Steven Goldmann doesn't stop at this.
