I saw this usually lower-priced on used DVD listings and finally got around to buying it and checking it out. Didn't realize it was a horror-Hip Hop / Hardcore Rap movie until I read about it more and then viewed it.
There are two pretty distinct elements in the film, a zero-budget horror story and a goofy movie about a Rag-Tag Hip Hop / Hardcore Rap group trying to make it big in the 90's / 2000's.
I liked the Hip Hop and Hardcore rap story as I ended up growing up with 80's and 90's rappers in my youth.
Yes, it's zero-budget for production values for the most part and parts of the plot / ending are outrageously lame even for a movie like this.
A little bit of it even felt like an urban Scooby Doo type of slapstick live-action episode which I actually liked.
The time / flow / editing is about right for the movie, I wasn't bored at least not knowing what would come next.
The horror elements are pretty bad, almost comically bad as if completely intentional and they may have been. At least some better gore and humorous points could have been inserted too then. A few are tried - to mixed results already....
Hey, the owner of a New York pizzeria plays a mafia head and his restaurant is used in the movie, can't get more zero budget then that.......

Cheap and schlocky movies can be a real drag. Especially when you watch many in a row over a few weeks before a bigger budget or more widely acclaimed film.
This film is cheap and schlocky, yet it wasn't a drag at all for me for the most part.
The film is actually quite ambitious in many ways for an early 70's cheapie.
Maybe I was in the mood for something like this, but I liked the storyline for the most part.
No, it's not very titular or gory as the title might want you to believe, but still fun in many ways.
With a psychedelic slant from some opening visuals to the synthesizer music, it was something different for a witchcraft movie which was based a bit as a straight up crime movie too.
Leslie McCrae and a couple of the other girls were nice to look at.
There's some glaring continuity errors and special effects that aren't that special.

A picked up Troma movie, shot for the drive-ins, with some editing and interjections by Fred Olen Ray, what could go wrong, LOL.....
I actually enjoyed a lot of this semi-mess of a movie made for a time long gone of the drive-in circuit.
The history of this movie may be more interesting to some than the movie itself.
Take a crime / thriller drive-in circuit movie, most likely poorly released and marketed on it's first go-around or two, add some footage of a well-known aging star you shot hoping you could re-use it, edit some synth semi-horror music in over the county / hillbilly music in a few spots and you have a horror movie called Demented Death Farm Massacre... The Movie.
There are a few moments of goofy comedy in the movie also.
Ashley Brooks was fun to look at and did a pretty good job in her role for the most part also.
Are there some weak points in the film, plot, acting, etc? Yes, but a lot of the weirdness and other points in the film that are a bit unique help it out too.
The twist and turns that start to come pretty quickly after about 45 min. Or so in and have the movie end up with an unlikely survivor at the end I happened to enjoy, maybe others didn't quite look at it that way though.
Worth a look if you like Troma, general weirdness in movies, and a trip back in the wayback machine every once in a while, to the era of drive-in cheapie movies.....
