Redneck Zombies was produced and released by Troma productions.

The film itself is set in rural Maryland in 1986. The plot of the film is set into motion when a U.S. Army soldier accidentally spills a 50 gallon drum of nuclear waste off the back of his jeep. The drum is found by a stereotypically back-woods family who proceed to empty out the drum in order to use it as part of their new moon shine still. Unfortunately for the rednecks and the consumers of their product, the toxic waste residue left in the drum produces a batch of shine that turns those who consume it into zombies.

Meanwhile, a couple of young people are camping in the nearby woods. Usual zombie hijinks ensue, with all but one of the camping protagonists winding up as zombie fodder.

The film never takes itself too seriously, and although it is quite violent, with gory special FX comparable to Tom Savini's in [[Day of the Dead]], humorous moments abound in the film. In an particularly amusing scene, a living human imitates an undead zombie and leads a group of the flesh eaters to the spot where one of his fellow campers is hiding.

The film also features entertaining and original country & western songs built around redneck and zombie themes.
