Product Description

Product Description

In 1972, a team of New York City exploitation outlaws that included Ed Adlum (SHRIEK OF THE MUTILATED), Ed Kelleher (PRIME EVIL) and Michael & Roberta Findlay (THE TOUCH OF HER FLESH, SNUFF) - along with first-time assistant cameraman and future award-winning cinematographer Frederick Elmes (ERASERHEAD, BLUE VELVET) - descended on bucolic Westchester County with 8½ bottles of stage blood to make a movie about a Druid cult seeking to resurrect their dead queen. The budget was $24,000. The cast was paid in beer. And the result remains one of the greatest achievements in schlock/shock cinema history. Severin Films is proud to present this "accidental masterpiece" (Horror News) like you've never seen it before, now scanned from the original negative for the first time ever and spurting with all-new Special Features.

Review

A complete whack-job of a film… A mind-numbingly bizarre attempt at low-budget horror that's always entertaining and absolutely worth seeing! --Rock! Shock! Pop!

A classic drive-in epic of the trashiest proportions! --DVD Drive-In

    5.0 out of 5 stars Might as well be titled Manos 2.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2019

    This feels so much like Manos The Hands of Fate it can't be coincidence. There are even Torgo'esque minions in overalls and big hats. Like most such movies there are boring stretches. But many scenes are inherently slightly amusing just because they're...wrong. None of the directing, acting, camera work, editing or audio is right. It can't even get exploitation tropes right. There's a sequence with a young newlywed couple and the nebbish guy gets naked in the shower not the amorous blonde; how do you screw that up? Bizarre hard cuts to different scenes had me laughing in surprise and confusion every few minutes. People keep telling the leading lady it's bedtime when it appears to be 11 in the morning. Supposedly the actors were paid in booze and I completely believe it, every single actor is drunk. They slur and flub their way through lines that don't make sense anyway. The scenes of violence are generally hilarious. Once we meet the cultist leader the camp gets dialed up to 11. He sits in a room with a permanent fake thunderstorm outside, a storm that doesn't affect the house next door. The cult needs a special person with special blood to revive their sleeping queen or else something something prince of darkness something something made-up-words. The film stumbles and meanders it's way toward what might be the most baffling climax ever inflicted on celluloid. It's worth the watch for that alone. If you're a fan of spectacular incompetence there's a lot to love here. If you aren't, you probably won't make it through the first five minutes.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Worst Movie Ever Made!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    The best worst movie ever made! Unintentionally this is hilarious from start to finish. In 1972, Ed Ludlum made a movie on a shoestring budget. He apparently paid everyone in cases of beer! Nobody in the movie can act to save their lives. The special effects are about as scary as a Halloween costume on a ten year old. The plot is preposterous, like Ed Wood movies, scenes switch from day to night in the blink of an eye. 2000 year old immortal Druids living in rural upstate New York seek to revive their comatose queen with infusions of blood before they all die.
    In short, The Invasion of the Blood Farmers is surely up there as a contender for the worst movie ever made. I have been a fan of this film for thirty years now and revisit upstate New York periodically to once again laugh my head off over a few beers!

    1.0 out of 5 stars Breathtakingly bad!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2004

    What do you think of when you hear the words "bad movie"? For most members of the movie going public, bad cinema translates into big budget disasters like "Gigli" or "Batman and Robin." And if you listed these two films as miserable dreck barely worth mentioning without cringing, you would be correct. Big studio pictures that take a tumble are horrific to watch. But for a certain small segment of the public, these sorts of films really don't represent the worst of the worst. Sure, watching Arnie Schwarzenegger don his Mr. Freeze outfit is worth a chuckle or two, as is witnessing Affleck's attempts at a New Yawk accent, but for real kicks you have to dig much deeper. Those stalwart souls who wish to view the truly horrific need to check out movies made during the golden age of the drive-in. During the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, the drive-in provided audiences with spectacularly bad films, real howlers that would give anyone a nervous breakdown. "Invasion of the Blood Farmers" falls neatly into this category, a category that shelters movies like "Blood Feast" and "Manos, The Hands of Fate." Yep, "Invasion" is as bad as "Manos," if not worse. Of course, I loved this film because I simply adore bad movies made by people who haven't a clue as to how to construct a motion picture.
    "Invasion of the Blood Farmers" tells the story of an ancient cult of druids (!) called Sangroids disguised as farmers in the modern day. These bib overall wearing dudes--there appear to be about three or four of them total--start working their way through the residents of Jefferson Valley in order to harvest a supply of blood. They need plenty of the red stuff to carry out various cheesy rituals and to resurrect their comatose queen, a lady who spends most of the film lying around in a glass box looking anemic. Unfortunately for the blood farmers, a local scientist, his daughter, and her goofy boyfriend not so quickly catch on to the unfolding hijinks. Problems start when the daughter's dog disappears under mysterious circumstances, a local man stumbles into a bar in a terrible state, and the scientist finds some blood that reproduces itself at an amazing rate. Meanwhile, the blood farmers spend their time pumping blood out of bodies with some sort of Rube Goldberg contraption and yucking it up over their slumbering monarch. Eventually, the scientist and his assistant meet up with a professor at the local university who seems to know a lot more about the strange events in Jefferson Valley than he is willing to let on about. "Invasion of the Blood Farmers" doesn't conclude as much as it judders to a halt when the scientist, with daughter and boyfriend in tow, locks horns with the druids during the resurrection ritual at the end of the film.
    Just in case you get bored with the idea of a sleeping druid, some guy referred to as Creton (more like Cretin) pops up from time to time to help move the film along. This chap, who overacts with a ferocity rarely witnessed in any form of cinematic expression, is a true find for the bad film fan. He whines, he gesticulates, he commands, he violates every known rule of acting; this is a man who knows his limitations but simply doesn't care. You won't, either, after witnessing his histrionic performance. I really shouldn't pick on Creton since none of the performances in the film are worth mentioning except in tones of absolute derision. I found the guy who played the scientist especially annoying. At the end of the film, the man does something very kind for his daughter and then LAUGHS AND LAUGHS in a very disturbing manner. What is he laughing about and why is he laughing so hard? Who knows, but that scene alone provides all the shocks you'll get out of this film.
    Nothing works in "Invasion," absolutely nothing unless you count utter badness as a virtue. The cinematography resembles a style used in atrocity footage, and the film stock is in such bad shape that it looks like the director shot his movie in psychedelic-vision. Large chunks of the movie fade in and out amidst oceans of grain and haze, colors suddenly turn wacky, and the scenes look as though director Ed Adlum spliced them together with a chainsaw. And the special effects! Ha! What did they use for blood, a fizzy fruit drink? I'm not even going to excavate the mountain of continuity errors and just plain dumb dialogue in the film. To do so would simply take too long and require more energy than I am capable of at this point. "Invasion" will stupefy you with its dazzling array of banalities, overwhelm you with its sublime stupidity. Forget "Gigli" folks; "Invasion of the Blood Farmers" is the archetype of garbage cinema.
    The DVD is odd for such a bad movie. There's a big windup from Fred Olen Ray before the movie even starts. Ray's directed plenty of bad movies in his own right, so his presence here is at the least appropriate and at the most annoying. Freddie and some floozies perform a few lame sketches in an effort to get you to send in a card enclosed with the DVD. Skip past this junk to get right to the gold: "Invasion of the Blood Farmers," some stills from the film, and a boatload of schlock trailers. Only those viewers with iron constitutions and brains of lead should give this one a go. It's an atrocious film sure to upset most people's outlook on life. Would I watch it again? You bet. Cheese never tasted as good as this.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Invasion of the bad actors & filmmakers!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 10, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Somewhere in New York a group are harvesting blood and terrorising a young woman in order to re-awaken the female leader of the group.

    Well god help me, what can possibly be said about this, I've re-watched and reviewed almost all of the 72 Video Nasties & 82 Section 3 Nasties now-of which this is one- and this takes everything to a new level. Everything about this is absolutely terrible, from the acting, which would be insulting to kids to call it school play level, to the stunningly bad directing & editing. The blood and gore scenes are so unconvincing it makes you wonder what the production thought they were making, the story is frankly ridiculous and for a lot of the film makes little sense, the final scenes are a real cop out because if spend the entire film trying to make sure your evil queen rises and comes back to the living, to then get rid of her almost immediately is a little pathetic. All that said however there is one positive thing, the film is absolutely hilarious, from the hysterically inept dialogue and its delivery to the shot choices (there is so much day for night, I forgot what was real). Being bored is not an option, yes there is no pace or tension or atmosphere but because what you're seeing is so jaw-droppingly bad it genuinely becomes the a-typical, so bad it's good movie.

    As a plain horror pic this has got to rank as one of the worst I've ever seen, but I expect this has to have been made with the productions tongue firmly in their cheek, because if they tried to make a series horror it actually might even be more funny. Most people will not make it past the first few minutes, but for bad movie fans who watch this stuff regularly there will be a lot to enjoy here, just don't think to much about it and you won't be disappointed.

    低予算のホラー。タイトル通り、農夫が人を襲います。この程度だとただのB級ホラーを予測しがちですが、この映画の凄さははB級ではないという所。もしかしたらZ級かもしれない。とにかく、素人丸出しのカメラワークに、今まで観たこともない編集。驚愕。字幕がなければとても内容を理解できませんがそれでもまるで学芸会の様な作りに、全く飽きません。珍しいものがみたいかたはどうぞ。
