I'm not stranger to Troma's world - I liked Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke 'Em High, and Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell, but this film is the pits.
For example, it takes over forty minutes to get to the zombies! So we're subjected to all the deliberate bad acting and 'comedy' which in this film is just excruciating.
A barrel of toxic waste is lost after a soldier burns his hand on a joint and almost crashes his jeep. A redneck gets a hold of it and ends up giving it to other rednecks as a makeshift still, which contaminates their mash and turns them (and anyone else that drinks it) into zombies. That plot would have held up well but the film continually grinds to a halt due to various other things.
For instance, one character in particular is portrayed as a coward (who's also taken acid) and we get endless scenes of this guy screaming and running around. There's also a gay soldier (unfunny), the strange tobacco man, and some zombie kids.
There's also plenty of gore in the latter half of the film, but I barely made it to the end. It seemed to me as if the film was double the length it was supposed to be. I know Troma try and do deliberately dreadful films, but in this case they just didn't do that right. Painful.
