Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to director Ed Adlum, a friend of his invited him to Universal Studios for an opportunity to meet Steven Spielberg a few years after the huge success of Jaws (1975). He shook Spielberg's hand, and told him that he used to be a filmmaker. When Spielberg asked what movies he had directed, he replied, "'Invasion of the Blood Farmers'." Spielberg immediately turned around and walked away without saying a single word.
- GoofsConstant mix of day and night shots, with dialog that further demonstrates the mismatches (i.e, saying "Good night" in broad daylight).

Redneck Druids
Which fan of horror and exploitation could honestly say that they don't enjoy goofy Z-grade horror flicks from the 70s with a budget near zero from time to time. "Invasion Of The Blood Farmers" of 1972 is a god-awful film, of course, and fails entirely as a Horror movie. It is an awesome unintentional comedy, however, though the 'unintentional' is doubtable, since it seems as everyone involved in the film, especially director Ed Adlum, was very aware of the fact that they were not exactly filming a masterpiece, and the folks were just having a heck of a time on the set of the "Blood Farmers".
The story is extremely far-fetched, which contributes a lot to the fun-factor. The film is basically about a bunch of hicks, farmers from New York State who also happen to be members of a bizarre druid cult...
This is, of course a quite promising storyline if you're into the really trashy stuff. The performances are almost incomparably awful, which is no surprise regarding the fact that none of the actors were ever involved in another movie. What "Invasion of The Blood Farmers" provides is pure fun. Unfortunately, the movie also has several periods of pure boredom in-between. The awful performances, as well as the film-making that sometimes seems intentionally amateurish, provide good laughs throughout the film. Once again, if you're interested in any form of suspense whatsoever, this film should be avoided! This is strictly reserved for my fellow lovers of hilarious super-cheap cult-trash. In case you like awful cinema every now and then, I recommend to enjoy this zero-budget film and have a great time.
