Trailer Park of Terror

Catchy title, isn’t it? You have to admit, it’s somewhat intriguing (dare I say enticing?) even if the title implies that it will be filled with nothing more than white trash stereotypes. One thing I knew for sure though, and that was that this movie is right up my alley!
For starters, one of the headliners is Trace Adkins. When a country singer stars in a movie with terror in the title, you know it’s game on. Secondly, the synopsis promises zombies (can you give me a redneck yell yee-haw??)
Dario Argento’s Suspiria

Suspiria is an Italian horror movie released in 1977 about Suzy Bannion (Jessica Harper,) an American ballet dancer who enrolls at a famous ballet school in Europe only to discover it is run by a coven of witches.
It is classified as being Dario Argento´s finest work, and if memory serves me right, the very first horror movie I ever saw on the big screen.
I was 8 years old.
The Beastmaster - “B” at it’s Best

There are certain movies that I can watch repeatedly - to the point where the DVD/VHS needs to be replaced due to extreme signs of usage - and never tire of them. Movies like The Wedding Singer, that is so ridiculous, and 80’s and yet speaks to me on so many levels.
Movies like Wrong Turn (cannibalism at its finest); Quintin Tarantino’s Death Proof (review to follow) or The Faculty, where you have a bunch of freaky high school kids who are just trying to get by end up trying just not to get possessed by aliens.
My endless list of these types of movies reinforce the fact that I am what my husband lovingly refers to as “The Uber Dork” (at least I’m hoping it’s lovingly.) I like to think I help keep lame movie producers in business. My good deed, if you will.

This post isn’t about a horror movie, but it is about a B-movie. A B-movie featuring Tom Laughlin, the actor that placed Billy Jack on the map.
For those of you who don’t know, there is a whole series of films that focuses on a “half-breed” Native American, Green Beret Vietnam War veteran, a hapkido master, and gunslinger, that goes by the name of Billy Jack.
Hello. My name is Petra and I am - er, was - a Billy Jack groupie.
Quarantine: a remake of [REC]

Quarantine: a strict isolation, usually imposed by the government, to prevent the spread of something considered dangerous, such as that of disease. The duration of such being typically 40 days…
Presuming anyone would survive that long….
“It’s worse than horrible because a zombie has no will of his own. You see them sometimes walking around blindly with dead eyes, following orders, not knowing what they do, not caring……”
Ok, so with a name like “Midnight Meat Train” it’s probably safe to assume there is going to be meat, though probably not the kind you would want to eat unless you are of the same sick and twisted caliber such as Ed Gein, or Jeffrey Dahmer.
Oh, and there will probably be blood on the Midnight Meat Train. Lots and lots of blood.
Before I get started on this review, I have to say “Boys, never ever wear bikini briefs, or speedos.” Of course this also means that g-strings and thongs for guys are strictly verboten. Now I understand that Jockeys, FOTL and Hanes make them, but that does not mean cool guys wear them. Nerds, dorks, “guys” struggling with their own sexuality, guys with overly inflated egos, and just plain ugly guys, wear these type of underwear. Not cool guys who want to get laid. DO NOT fall victim to your sweet side! (You know it’s in there, and so do we.) Go commando if you must - just don’t wear any of the a fore mentioned excuses for underwear.
So, now that proper underwear etiquette is out of the way, let’s move on to the movie review.
This is SOOOO not a horror movie review….

“If you had known this was going to happen, would you have done it?”
“I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss of her mouth, one touch of her hand, than an eternity without it.”
“One.”
