A sweet little tale about your average inbred, hillbilly, cannibal family residing in the northern part of New Jersey and how they deal with the day-to-day annoyances of encroaching suburbia.

Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
Develiker terrible... so disappointed.
Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Michael Ledo This is a film which centres on the lives of a family of Hillbilly cannibals from northern New Jersey. They broke their creed "strangers are tops, but neighbours bring cops" early in the film with the tug-o-war killing of Andy Shiffner (Sasha Friedenberg). The main character (DVD cover girl) is Beefteena Bullion played by Alan Rowe Kelly and my bad for thinking she was a he and played by someone emulating "Divine." She also wrote and directed this feature and is the face or tomorrow.Her brothers are Hubcap (Mike Lane doomed zombie in "Zombies Anonymous" ) and Butternut (Joshua Nelson Josh in "Zombies Anonymous" ). Susan Adriensen (mutant secretary in "Experiment #7) is Sno Cakes, the sister. The patriarch of this family is Papa Elvis Bullion played by Terry West an extra in Misty Mundae films.The film is overtly campy by design. This is perhaps for those who would have loved "House of a 1,000 Corpses" if the dialogue wasn't so far above their head.10 on the camp scale. 1 for serious viewers.Parental Guide: F-bombs. no sex or nudity. clothed genital mutilation.
arfdawg-1 A sweet little tale about your average inbred, hillbilly, cannibal family residing in the northern part of New Jersey.And how they deal with the day-to-day annoyances of encroaching suburbia.A wee bit like early john Waters films. But not entirely. It doesn't have the bent sense of humor that Waters has. So it comes across as a pale duplicate.Too bad. I saw some promise in this film, but alas. In the end, it comes up short.
alanmora I met the director of this film Alan Rowe Kelly at a convention recently. When I approached the booth I saw images being projected on a screen that were absolutely mind-boggling! Alan Rowe Kelly noticed my surprise and said to me "You can't take your eyes off it, can you?" The film being shown was "The Blood Shed" and the scene was a weird scene involving close-ups of people eating! Alan Rowe Kelly began to tell me about how the scene was made, how he had to gain 50 pounds to play the role of the grotesquely obese "Beeftina Boulion", and how a scene involving Beeftina guzzling broth was filmed using actual chicken broth (apparently it was supposed to be substituted with Iced Tea but someone on the set failed to make the switch). Being a fan of the unusual, bizarre, gory and things that generally shock most audiences, I of course purchased a copy of the film immediately. As I walked away from the booth, Alan Rowe Kelly told me "Now remember, this is a film you need to watch after a few cocktails...or maybe after you smoke a little something!". I knew I had found a director and a film after my own heart. This film is a weird and unusual ride. There are plenty of scenes that are obvious tributes to the works of Tobe Hooper and John Waters and any horror fan will appreciate the tributes in the film to horror classics like "Happy Birthday To Me" "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "American Gothic". No taboo or exploitable subject matter is left untouched in "The Blood Shed". Things from bodily dismemberment, cannibalism, incest, homosexuality, and torture are graphically depicted in this film. True it is obviously made on a shoe-string budget but it's definitely worth viewing!
BillysGirl0612 I absolutely LOVED this movie. I've watched it about 3x so far and I'm not done yet.The acting was great. Campy, but not fake or over the top. You could tell everyone must've had a blast making this film.I am a big fan of Alan Rowe Kelly, and I knew I would not be disappointed in this movie.Susan Adriensen as SnoCakes had great chemistry with ARK's Beefteena. I laughed so hard whenever they were on screen together.Joshua Nelson, Mike Lane and Terry M. West filled out the rest of the cast and played their characters superbly. You found yourself actually rooting and cheering on the Bullion clan.I cannot wait for more adventures of the Bullions!
