Demented Death Farm Massacre is a 1971 horror film directed by Fred Olen Ray and Donn Davison [1] and features John Carradine as 'the Judge of Hell', who narrates the story. [2]
A group of jewel thieves on the lam run out of fuel in the middle of the countryside. They wander into a backwoods farm, hoping to hide out for the time being. However, when the farmer returns home only to find the thieves taking over the house, he hatches a deadly plan.
Taglines include: "First we plant the perversion, then we harvest the horror" [3]
The film was originally shot by Davidson, received a limited release as Shantytown Honeymoon and then only bought and recut by Ray, who shot several new scenes with John Carradine as the Judge of Hell and gave it a theatrical release as Demented Death Farm Massacre. [6] [7] [8] It is Ray's first credit as director. [9]
In 1986, Olen Ray sold the film to Troma under the new title, who released it on VHS. Troma would later re-release it in various DVD packages alongside lesser known titles that had been purchased for distribution. [10]
A review at Unknown Films states: "If it would make Ray feel any better, then I'll say this 90 minutes of dreariness is some of the best work he's ever done." [11]
