Degausser Video is a brand new label created by several of the devious minds behind VS, which will bring to Blu-ray deluxe editions of both canonical and under-seen shot on video (SOV) genre cinema, in addition to work shot on film, but edited on tape, wherein the original film materials are believed to be lost or destroyed. Similar to Vinegar Syndrome's focus on FILM preservation, Degausser will work only from original analogue tape materials with an emphasis on maintaining the aesthetics inherent to each respective video format. Additionally, each title released by Degausser will be made available in an ultra limited "new" VHS edition, fitted in a custom designed hard shell light box.
Deep in the backwoods and winding trails of The Appalachian Mountains, Wilbur is leading a group of his friends to his old childhood stomping grounds. Just across the mountainous terrain, Pa and his three sons are making their patented moonshine. But when the military loses a canister of oozing, deadly and deforming toxic waste, all paths lead to terror! Soon the good ol' boys are hand delivering a new nuked-up batch of brew to all the locals, turning them into melting cannibal zombies with their eyes on the freshest flesh around; Wilbur and his camping buddies! Will they escape the monstrous hordes or will they be the next course on the menu!?
In one of the first shot-on and released direct-to-video features, Degausser Video is proud to present the Blu-ray debut of REDNECK ZOMBIES from special fx whizz Pericles Lewnes (The Toxic Avenger 2 & 3, Shatter Dead). Shot with barely a budget and almost entirely on weekends, the film delivers scares, laughs and better than expected gore! Sourced from the highest quality tape master, feast your eyes on this banquet of flesh!

Reviews
Not funny, great low budget gore
"Really unfunny comedy. They had some great gore effects and probably should have tried a more straight horror, or subtle comedy rather than the broad redneck humour. Ultimately I didn't laugh. But it wasn't all bad. The extras were interesting, except the commentaries, which were mainly just the participants laughing at the jokes. I'd hover at a 2. 5/5."
— Michael L. (2/5)
Backwoods Tape Slime
"Glorious SOV trash in the best way. Toxic moonshine, melting cannibal zombies, backwoods chaos, and way more gore than the budget should allow. Degausser really gave this one the royal treatment, especially with the uncut edit and huge pile of extras."
— Danny W. (5/5)
Really Fun Zombie Flick!
"This really cool zombie flick was a pleasure to watch from start to finish! It has an awesome slipcover as well! The peerless VS restoration process was on full display with stellar sound and picture! Thank you, VS, for continuing to lovingly restore and release so many wonderful films from every conceivable genre! You are keeping physical media alive in this streaming world we now live in! Highly recommended!"
— Paul K. (5/5)

Shot-On-Troma!
"A lovely restoration for one of Troma's classic distributed titles. Such fun, silly nonsense put together in a deluxe package."
— Preston C. (5/5)
Excellent gift for the right person, haha
"Purchased as a gift for a friend, and it went over great. Second-hand review is this is a solid release."
— Joe V. (5/5)
Gory shot on video zombie flick
"Great zombie flick. Think it was picked up by troma. Gets better towards the end when it gets really bloody."
— Tyler B. (4/5)
silly zombie fun
"Considering the origins of this project, the restoration is amazing and the artwork and extras are totally worth it. As for the film itself, it's a bit of silly fun, with a lot of broad acting that you have to be in the mood for. The gore is great, cheap but cheerful."
— Tim V. (4/5)
More Degausser Video releases like this, please!
"I was laughing my ass off consistently at the gross gore and dorky humor. Even the crappy jokes were so bad that they became funny again. Plus this is surprisingly impressively made for a SOV. Really played like a comedic live action splatter horror cartoon"
— Ian B. (5/5)
