Early last year I was invited to review the action comedy Battle Legends: The Legend of Battle Master from director and star Matt Enos. I was unfamiliar with Enos and his previous work, which included The Jim Duffy Show, but it all looked extremely fun. I agreed to check it out and loved it. I added Enos on Facebook and kept an eye on his next project which happened to be a horror comedy that serves as a sequel of sorts to Battle Legends. The new film, The Death Molester's Barn of Blood, looked like it incorporated much of the same humor as the previous film but set in a more horror based story. I couldn't wait to check it out and I quickly agreed to it when Matt messaged me to check it out. I want to take a moment to thank Matt for sending this one my way for review!
The film follows two brothers who suspect that their drooling cousin is a necrophile. When his employer, along with his heir, is conveniently found dead, the necrophile is left a farm with a barn that he uses to rape corpses with another local pervert. It's up to the two brothers to expose him as the infamous Death Molester so they can stop him... and get famous enough to bang chicks.
I knew The Death Molester's Barn of Blood was going to be more horror than the previous film but I had no idea it was going to go the way that it did. If anything, the post should have been an indication as to what to expect with the giant dillschlong plastered on it. Honestly, i didn't know what to expect but I fucking loved it. This is the kind of movie that I can see myself revisiting time and time again without tiring of it. The acting in this one is over the top and very enjoyable. The characters are written with humor in mind and it works. The cast does bring a lot of energy to the film especially from director and star Matt Enos who portrays multiple characters. The story for this one feels like a tribute to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the crime of Ed Gein meets Battle Legend: The Legend of Battle Master. The film follows characters from The Jim Duffy Show and Battle Legend as they are thrown into a world of murder and necrophilia. The film does go to a dark place a few times. While it does sound dark, the humor and South Park level humor makes it much lighter than it should be. I loved the sense of humor here and would love to see more of these characters in a horror setting again sometime soon. With that being said, the film does drag on a bit. The scenes are not necessarily long but a few of the scenes does feel repetitive. Some trimming would do this one wonders. Finally, the film has some hilarious effects. The film is clearly a no budget production so that meant nothing went into the effects. We have some fake blood, fake shit, and a hilariously bad prop body but that all makes the film so much fun. Fans of Warlock Home Video and Low Budget Pictures can appreciate the humor in this kind of effects. Overall, The Death Molester's Barn of Blood is not going to be for everyone. Hell, it's not going to be for a lot of people but good god damn did I have fun with it. I highly recommend this especially if you like movies similar to Death O'Lantern and Skinned Alive. Check it out!
