Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
trashgang God's Bloody Acre was for years one of those OOP's that exploitation fans were searching for. In 2010 it finally had it's official DVD release. Still, it's low on everything but somehow you keep watching this hixploitation. As I stated in the summary it is incorrect in so many places. It's made in an era were free sex was normal and people were cheating on each other the whole time. You can easily spot it here when David is telling his girlfriend he's going for a trip, were he finally meet another girl and is having sex with her. Not only that, there's another part were a girl is being hit by her boyfriend as if that was a normal case back then. It's also the era of not wearing bra's which shows a few time throughout this flick. As for the flick itself it's really slow and doesn't have anything to offer towards the horror were it was filed under. There's almost no blood to spot and when the horror comes in, towards the end of the flick, it's filmed without extra lighting and it's way too dark. A must see is the part were David quit his job. He's somewhere else with his mind and as effect they used echo on the voice. It really becomes weird with that effect and the use of wide angle zoomed in shots made it really weird to watch. You don't watch this for acting but just for the exploitation. It offers some weird shots as one's throat is being slashed just have a look at the girl her eyes, it's the same girl being raped before, watch her tongue while being raped. Weird acting. People collecting exploitation and especially the hixploitation this is a must have. People thinking that this is a classic horror forget it. No gore and almost no blood to spot. The typical breast nudity and the southern accents. Gore 0/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 0/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
udar55 Three redneck brothers get ticked off when a work crew starts clearing trees near the patch of land they call home. Through an accident they end up killing one of the crew and get real paranoid (the crew boss doesn't seem to mind so much). This is bad news for the two couples (one old, one young) who have both found their way to this neck of the woods. Pretty good regional (Florida) hicksploitation flick that seems to be throwing in some social commentary as well. Lead Wayne Crawford (who also produced and help write) plays a passive guy who quits his job designing machines of war who suddenly finds himself in a situation where he has to defend himself. Not too subtle, but it works. It definitely has some pacing issues though as it seemed to take forever for all the leads to finally meet up. The big brother redneck looked so familiar but I couldn't place him. Looked him up afterward and it is William Kerwin from BLOOD FEAST! Totally didn't recognize him because he wasn't in a suit with his hair slicked back.
HumanoidOfFlesh When a group of developers threaten the land of three backwoods mountain-dwelling brothers Ezra,Benny and Monroe,the homeless rednecks must resort to murder to defend their property.However the trio starts killing not only construction workers,but also camping vacationers...Very enjoyable exploitation trash with nasty drawn out rape scene,rampant misogyny and racist overtones.This low-budgeter is surprisingly tense due to its nasty subject matter.Almost all the characters are despicable,the acting is bad and the gore is amateurish.Still if you enjoyed such redneck terror movies like "Trapped" or "Hunter's Blood" you can't go wrong with "God's Bloody Acre".I'm really surprised that this film didn't achieved cult status yet.
EyeAskance A trio of separatist hillbillies mobilize to halt the development of a campsite in their deep-woods homestead. What begins as a harmless scheme to scare people away quickly turns deadly.There's little question that GOD'S BLOODY ACRE is a product of loose-change funding and a three-day-weekend shooting schedule. Despite the transparencies of an indifferently overseen production, however, there's good potential for shameful gratification in this frowzy little regional outgrowth. The first half hour is a razor-to-wrist bore, but if you can get past that, the story does eventually grease the wheels and keep a steady beat(putting forward one of the most drawn-out, strangely choreographed fight scenes I've ever witnessed).This is a lazy concoction from folks who have done far better work(see: SOMETIMES AUNT MARTHA DOES DREADFUL THINGS), but it does have a certain something...just not a whole lot of it.5/10
