Highly Overrated But Still Good

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Four jewel thieves(Karen, Kirk, Phillip, Susan) steal a jeep and end up in Hillbilly Country. They abandon the jeep on the side of the road, walk through the woods which seems like eons until they spot a small farm house in the middle of nowhere. They hide out there till the heat cools down. A dim - witted wife (Reba Sue Craven) and her religious alcoholic old man (Harlan P. Craven)live there and boy they are boring. Harlan gets drunk on his own moonshine and religiously listens to radio sermons. Reba is emotional wrecked and she just wants to get laid but drunk hubby is not giving her any loving. Kirk, who doesn't have an off button, eventually nails Reba. Kirk's girlfriend gets wind of this and she gets into a scuffle with Reba. Reba kills his girlfriend with a planter (I could be wrong; memory doesn't serve me well on this. I do apologize.)FAST FORWARD: Kirk wants in on Harlan's moonshine business so Harlan stabs him repeatedly in the neck with a pitchfork. Harlan and his doofus partner, Tobe, freak out and leave in the stolen jeep. Phillip gives chase. The boys run out of gas and hide out in the woods. Phillip hunts them down like the animals they are and only Tobe dies thanks to a bear trap that Harlan put there last year. Harlan, drunk off his ass and holding on to a makeshift walking stick gets down on his knees and prays to god to get him out of this. Phillip eventually catches up to Harlan. Harlan beats the life out of Phillip with the walking stick. Harlan hobbles back home happy he survived the life and death situation. All is lost however when Reba gets greedy and off screen shoots and kills Harlan. I guess diamonds are a girl's best friend. John Carradine spews out quotes from the bible in between scenes. There is no gore unless you count the red paint on the actor's faces. PG - 13 at best.

Enough sarcasm. I suppose it sucks that Carradine is dead and all, and I happen to know for a fact it sucks his boy David is dead, but inserted footage of John Carradine rambling is not what made this movie good. In fact, it was pretty much everything else. That's right, I said it. Demented Death Farm Massacre is a good movie. It's about time somebody said it. By the looks of most of the other reviews, this movie is quite under-appreciated. Well, I appreciate you, Death Farm.Good? Yes, but certainly not great, as most anyone will figure out within the first minute. A whole lot of awkward acting/dialog makes up this one. Most of the awkwardness is brought to you by two bickering couples, who just recently stole some diamonds. The plan is to hide out in Nowhere, Florida, and move in on some unsuspecting hicks, and use their house for a hideout. A hot little bumpkin chick offers the thieves some shelter, and you guessed it, Southern hospitality. Let's hope her loud-mouth, religious fanatic, moonshine-selling husband is as hospitable. Ol' Harlan turns out to be easygoing enough, that is, until one of the jewel thieves sets his sights on his lady. That, he cannot overlook. In fact, it might be time to dust off the ol' pitchfork. And why the hell not? O'l Harlan just bought her off her pa last week.Alright, well, maybe "good" was a bit of a stretch. Demented Death Farm Massacre is actually quite terrible, I'll admit that, but I stand by my claim of entertainment value. Oh, it's there. Even if it's just mostly some outlandish fat hick yelling at women, or there's always the acting... or the lack there of. If schlock ain't your cup of tea, then you probably won't find anything this particular Hixploitation epic has to offer to be even remotely appealing. Sounds to me like someone's wasting their time. This surprisingly worthy addition to my collection can be found on the first of seven "Toxie's Triple Terror" set, all of which contain three movies. I was equally shocked as I was delighted to discover that the other two movies on this set, Curse Of The Cannibal Confederates, and Deadly Daphne's Revenge, were every bit as good as this one... well, not exactly good. You know what I mean. 7/10

Another almost unknown '70s "B" cl-ass-sick from Florida.Shot in Dade City for about $5.37.John Carradine has been cut into the film for narration and has nothing to do with the plot at all,a lot like 'the Smoker' in "Blood Freak".It's fun to watch him flub a line or two.What's wrong? Can't read the cue card? Oh well.leave it in.No use in wasting film...Must have been put in later by Troma(?) as he's not in the final credits,which is done with filmed chalk on boards...wow.. guess they didn't want to have to pay a lab!Cheezy catsup almost-but-not-quite gore,moonshine,cleavage,and bad so called hillbilly dialog are what's in store here.For fans of the "B"/ exploitation/southern drive-in,and hillbilly type films only.Then again,if that wasn't your thing then you wouldn't have known to look up a film called "Demented Death Farm Massacre/Honey Britches " in the first place,right?I found it to be a fun little film to watch.I could have done without the 'everybody slap the females around for no reason' shots.I don't mind if 'ya wana cut em up into little pieces (sorry, folks none of that here. If that's what your after.) but,let's not be cruel and make it look like normal behavior... please.Pick one up.Esp. if you can find the $14 "Toxie's Triple Terror vol #1" DVD set with "Curse of the Cannibal Confederates" a.k.a. "Curse of the Screaming Dead"(don't let that scare you away if you don't like it.) "Death Farm..." is a much better film,then again that's not too hard to do..lol, and "Deadly Daphanie's Revenge"(makes a fine coaster)6.75/10 on the drive-in freak-o-meter....check it out...8)

I rented this movie a few months ago. My brother, his friend and I were on a cheesy horror flick kick, and we thought this movie would be funny. We were very wrong. It was a waste of my money and a waste of my time. After barely 10 minutes we were already falling asleep and losing all interest. It got so bad that we eventually decided to fast forward through the whole movie, and see if there were any interesting scenes. Not once did I take my finger off that fast forward button. A day later I actually attempted to watch the full movie. After watching it all the way through I realized one thing. It was 100 times more interesting when we were fast forwarding it. Don't be fooled into renting this low budget crapfest called Honey Britches. You don't want to make the same mistake I did.
