family living in the woods of northern New Jersey and how they deal with
the day-to-day annoyances of encroaching suburbia.
Review:
This is one fucked up movie. Looking at the cover makes you think "you
are in for some boring independent mess of a movie." This is far from that.
The Blood Shed is just a tale of your average inbred, cannibal family that
lives way back in the woods. There were many similarities in this to flicks
like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Devil's Rejects and an older movie
called Townies. There just isn't a sane one out of the Bullion bunch. New
Jersey's Sussex and Morris County's has an Amber alert in effect for two
missing kids that haven't been seen in weeks, they now make it a total of
eleven disappearances. Then a news reporter who was covering a major
investigation into the Bullion twisted family goes missing. He knows damn
well they have something to do with it but ends up a prisoner in their home
locked in a cage bound and gagged with no hope in sight.
This movie is unforgettable. I couldn't stop talking about it telling all my
friends so I could skeeve them out as much as I was watching it telling
them they just had to see it. I talked about it telling them every horrific
detail I could remember. Every five minutes I was going "ew", they did this
and ew they did which sparked their inner need to watch something so
stomach turning. Inbreds are the most terrifying thing to me, I saw
Deliverance and was completely fucked. The characters are all thoroughly
disgusting but Beeftina stood out the most for me. Her and her best friend
flapjack, who she pulls along with her on a little homemade wagon made
just for him as she skips through the dirt roads so happy waving to
whoever she passes. She wears Little Lulu like dresses with the little
matching undies. Alan Rowe Kelly masters this creepy character so expertly
that you sometimes almost feel sorry for her.
But other times you see her bad side and remain putrefied by her. I
recommend this movie to anyone who wants to have fun at being shocked-
but understand it is deeply dark and pushes the limits in some situations.
You won't just turn it off and forget about it, you will keep thinking about
it and you'll be having Beeftina moments interrupting your normal TV
viewing or maybe even in your sleep waking you up thinking of her
lemonade stand song and dance. This flick is not meant for the weak so
watch at your own risk!
