The Death Molester’s Barn of Blood

Pregnant Toilet Productions

Directed and written by Matt Enos

When a movie has a £5k budget and the people who made it previously worked with SRS Cinema to distribute their feature Battle Legends: The Legend of Battle Master, you know you’re in for a good time that won’t take itself seriously in the slightest.

Horror comedy The Death Molester’s Barn of Blood, based on characters from a series of online shorts, is a love letter to grimy grindhouse hick flicks of the 70s, with the sort of knowing ultra-cheese of early Troma. Matt Enos, who wrote, directed, produced, edited and acted as multiple characters in the movie, said:

“With The Death Molester’s Barn of Blood, we set out to make something that felt gross, grimy, and genuinely unsettling – but also wildly funny. We only shot on overcast days to give the film a naturally bleak palette. We used real dead rats that my dad caught in his barn – the same barn featured in the film. In post-production, I colour graded everything to match the pallor of a rotting corpse: muted tones, with purples and blues cranked just enough to make your stomach turn. This film is exactly what we set out to create: a sleazy, stylish love letter to ‘70s and ‘80s cult horror – shot with heart, grime, and gallows humour. It’s a cracked mirror reflection of the VHS-era underground: absurd, abrasive, and strangely beautiful. We hope you love it – or are at least disturbed by it.”

Any audience that sees The Death Molester’s Barn of Blood will certainly be disturbed, if only by the amount of drool that escapes one character’s mouth whenever they’re onscreen. Then there are the repeated acts of self-gratification,  a close-up of a dead guy’s dick, copious pizza consumption, some alarming facial hair, pseudo news delivering a chunk of exposition and jokes about shitting. 

And that’s before you get to the corpses being screwed. 

The story centres around brothers Tyler, Jim and Slim, all played by director/writer Matt Enos. They’re imbeciles living the life of drooling morons, but when evidence of necrophilia in the area starts to show up, things get messy. 

While the humour is incredibly lowbrow and leans heavily into old-school exploitation tropes, The Death Molester’s Barn of Blood demonstrates a great deal of skill despite its tiny budget and limited resources. It also has a fantastic score by Mark Fox, of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Shocking Truth documentary, which lifts the visuals up from their low-budget trappings to something more cinematic. Effects are handled with sticky glee by Eric Fox

The Death Molester’s Barn of Blood is not a film to take seriously. It is one to enjoy and laugh and point at like nature intended. It’s gross, it’s tasteless and it’s an acquired taste that may appeal mainly to SOV fans and the deeply inebriated, but it has charm. How could you not love a film in which a severed head is used as a sex toy?

Watch it if you’re depraved enough. I am, so I thoroughly enjoyed it.
