 Thank you for checking out this no spoilers movie review for Invasion of the blood farmers. Sorry. I had glare on it immediately. I'll go ahead and show this to you up front Doesn't that look amazing? This is no spoilers because I don't know how many people have actually seen this film And I don't know how many people really want to see this film But if you do I'm not giving you any spoilers because honestly it doesn't even really need spoilers Because this is one of those movies that kind of walks that line of being just really bad But then at the same time being like really fun because it's really bad. So Make up your own choice. I don't know if that's your thing or not I personally really like films that are like fun bad. So this one really spoke to me I found out about this film through The horror magazine that I get Rue Morg they had a whole write-up on it where they're talking to the director who Is very aware that this movie is not good. Sorry Fixed my hair not like it matters that much, but Yeah, so the director is extremely aware that this movie is not good at all I think when he was making it he was assuming that it would be good But as the years well decades have gone on because this is a 1972 film He's become extremely aware that it is just not a good film at all with super low budget He had to make a lot of kind of split-second decisions that are weird and Yeah, he's just accepted it over time to be honest. He's really just accepted that it is what it is, which is really cool That's a good thing. So The the overall idea of this film is that there are some druids who are trying to resurrect their queen and They need to farm blood From human beings so that's what it is. It's basically these these druids who look like farmers this guy Druids who are actually farmers Who are just harvesting blood which I do have to say this movie is pretty bad overall But I do have to say that the actual blood harvesting portions of the film are not bad They're actually relatively effective because they just kind of like Show that the the people are like tied up or restrained or like knocked out And then they just have like a tube that's hooked up to them and they're running like a red liquid through it to make it Look like blood so it is effective in giving you the idea that they're being drained of all their blood Now how people react to that they're acting not so great There are ones where people literally are like flopping around for like a long time And it's it's like way over the top with the flopping around but once again, that's kind of one of those so terrible It's awesome things. You know what I mean? So I have some notes that I want to go off of The acting is ridiculously wooden. It's it's very very rigid. It's very wooden The lines are delivered like people are taking a lot of time to think through the lines as they're delivering them So the acting is really bad But to me there are certain times in films where that if it's a bad film and I'm already laughing at it that actually Enhances the experience for me if that makes any sense. I know it's kind of stupid, but hey, that's how it works out for me The blood looks terrible. The blood is a color that it basically looks pink yes, the blood looks pink and I know I know there are a lot of films, especially decades ago that they're using different things for blood I know a lot of the giallo films from Italy were doing like actual red paint because they wanted to get a certain consistency a Certain color on film This one they it seems like whatever they could use that was relatively cheap Because it's pink. It's it's weird I was watching this with a friend and that's one of the things that bothered him the most about the film He's like it doesn't even look like blood. It's so pink. It's ridiculous like well, you know It's crazy low budget which by the way back in 1972 this film was done for $24,000 my buddy actually looked up a conversion with inflation while we were watching the film because he was interested and that comes out to I Think around about a hundred and forty thousand dollars today, which to be honest, that's still kind of mind-boggling that like Basically a hundred and twenty four thousand dollars today would Make something like that because it was so bad like I would think it'd be even less money to be honest The blood okay, yeah, the blood farming seems are effective. There was a weird noise Excuse me that kept popping up during the film and I know that it was intentional It had something to do with I think when the blood farming was going on But it was like this this distorted messed up Cicada type sound and it was just like really like Annoying and when you heard it you were just kind of like what's going on It didn't feel like it fit in the film It was more of like a is there something wrong with the audio did something screw up like that's kind of what it Seemed like it was just oh my gosh. It was pretty bad There I put down one very small quote of this because it just gives you a small taste of what some of the dialogue It's kind of like there's this part where this guy's talking to this older gentleman And he's kind of like oh, you know, I heard this really weird noise and he goes oh probably just wood Chucks Wood Chucks like this is what I'm talking about the dialogue It's just so weird and the noise he was trying to describe to him was clearly nothing Having to do with wood Chucks. It was totally different. So this is that kind of like weird at weird weird dialogue writing The camera work was bad. I mean there were times where the camera work was fine But there were ones where it was just downright awful like there's this one scene where they're in like a lab I Mean use your imagination or whatever they made a lab out of but should be seen to be believed These two guys are working together in this lab and one one's kind of standing up and the other one's sitting down So they have the shot where they're like zoomed in on the guy sitting down and then when the guy who's Standing up is talking. They literally pan up to him like this But when they come to the end of the pan, it's not smooth. It's abrupt. It's kind of like this You know, I mean and then they pan back down when the guy sitting down talks and then it's like this So it jars the camera it's Terrible and they keep doing that in the scene going Between the two of them and then to end the scene they pan to something else and it looks Awful, let me fix my there you go. It looks so awful. It is so terrible And it's annoying like camera work. That's bad like that is really really really unbelievably annoying There's a drawn-out beating scene in this film where this guy's getting literally like punched and hit and The punching and hitting is not at all convincing. It's terrible. It looks awful But the fact the fact that it looks so bad and they chose to draw the scene out so much Just gives you time to really focus on how terrible and laughable and awful it is So it actually becomes very funny because they could have kept it like a extremely short scene and just done like Ba-ba and you may have been like I don't think that looked very good, but it was so fast I couldn't really figure out if it was okay or not. Okay, but when it was so drawn out like that You're like, this is clearly terrible. This looks nothing like a person getting punched and kicked and stuff it's just But it's just stuff like that in this film. That's like horrendously bad But fun and laughable at the same time Watch it with some friends. The film quality changes during it. That's that's a weird weird thing that happens with this The film quality changes legitimately. It's You'll be watching it and you're like, oh, this actually doesn't look too bad and then there will be a section where they they cut to a new scene and The quality of the film degrades so much and you're like, what is going on? Is this supposed to be like a different POV shot from some other creature or something? But then you realize because it keeps happening throughout the film here and there in random kind of places You just figure out. Nope. They must have used different film. I don't know Just another odd thing that you can't explain And then the final thing I have written down for this the guy in this who plays the sheriff My favorite favorite character in the film He wears sunglasses the whole time and you can tell at numerous points that he's wearing sunglasses Because he can't remember his lines. So he's reading his lines It's amazing. Like there's one part in particular where he's sitting at his desk in the I guess the police I the police precinct and he's sitting there and there's a clipboard on the table in front of him And he's wearing the sunglasses inside, which there'd be no reason for him to do this And you can see like you can see a little bit You know how like even if people have sunglasses on if there's enough lighting on it You can kind of see their eyes behind it It's one of those situations and I was like looking very closely and you could see he's just like looking down at the clipboard Reading his lines and even when he's reading his lines, they're horribly delivered This guy is the worst of all the actors in the film, but his Acting is my favorite in it, too Because it's all bad acting basically so but his is the worst therefore. It's the best plus He has this like crazy thick New York accent that makes it even more fun and Yeah, totally enjoyable The article I had read In room work they were talking about that particular guy Apparently what happened is that guy actually thought he did a really good job in the film And then when he was at a screening of it and people were laughing at his acting He got kind of upset about it So the director kind of stepped in and did a really good thing actually he was just kind of like oh no no I wrote the character to be Comedic like that. So you you delivered them exactly how I wanted good job And he was just like oh, okay cool, and then he felt better about himself. So Yeah, I mean good good job on the director. He did he that was the right thing to do So anyway, um the reason I own this is because after I read about it on in the room work magazine article I was like, oh my god That sounds so amazingly good that I really want to see this. So I just checked streaming services Not there which I didn't really expect it because it's kind of obscure then I checked Netflix DVD because yes, I still do Netflix DVD. I've said it on some of my other videos, but I Do Netflix DVD because they have a really large selection of films, especially older films So I'm looking for a lot of older horror films like this one from 1972 and usually I can find it This one wasn't even on there, which is kind of I was kind of surprised. I was like, oh, they didn't even have that So my only choice was to actually purchase it from Severin films yes, Severin is the one who put this together and It's on Blu-ray. That's kind of mind-boggling. It's on Blu-ray. It for the most part. It looks good They did a good job moving it over to Blu-ray cleaning it up and everything This movie is one of those kind of has to be seen to for you to believe how bad it is But the problem is your only option is really going to be to buy it so I Think it was like with shipping and everything and enough being around 20 or something I don't even remember. So anyway, there are other features on this You know, there's like a commentary with the director, which at some point I do want to check out and there's also Some interviews with some people who are involved with the film. I didn't get into those yet I just wanted to do this quick no spoilers review of it But if people down in the comments if enough people comment and say that they would really like me to do a Breakdown of the Blu-ray all the extras and everything like that. I can certainly do that I just don't know if people are all that interested and I don't want to waste my time going through everything and you know Taking notes if people aren't really going to be interested in it. But yeah, so anyway, I Would say I recommend invasion of the blood farmers just because of how bad it is You may watch it once and say I never want to watch it again I don't need it again, but it kind of needs to be Experienced in my opinion especially for people who'd like like crappy fun films So there you go. There you have it. So I'm not even gonna give this a star rating I'm usually doing like you know star ratings. You can tell this is a bad film. It's kind of Not even fair to rate it because because the question then becomes do I rate it against all films in which case? It'd be like a half star or one star or something like that Or do I rate it as a crappy film in that case? It would be something like a you know like a four because it's Amazingly bad, so I'm not even really gonna rate it so but If you if you're interested Severin films has it anyway, thank you everyone for checking this out Go ahead and hit that subscribe can really help me out a lot literally takes a second for you.
