Demented Death Farm Massacre, Deliverance Meets the Beverly Hillbillies

When the big city folk meet the hillbillies nothing good ever happens.  Remember what happened to Ned Beatty? City folk should stick to shopping excursions, spas, ritzy cruises, and French gourmet restaurants.  Throw in bear traps, moonshine, and whore houses and before you know it the more manly of the group is squealing like a pig.  Today we look at 1971's "Demented Death Farm Massacre" (aka "Honey Britches"), directed by Donn Davison...great early 1970s drive-in fare.

A quartet from the big city is on the run after pulling off a jewelry heist.  Philip (Jim Peck) is the brains of the operation, leads the group into the backwoods of North Carolina.  With him is his very buxom GF Suzanne (Pepper Thurston), the gun man and hunk Kirk (Michael Battlesmith), and Kirk's GF Karen (Trudy Moore).  Both gals are clad in go-go shorts and go-go boots. Okay, Harlan (George Ellis) is an ugly old, backwoods moonshiner who has a babe wife, Reba Sue (Ashley Brooks).  Reba Sue is quite a babe in the tradition of Ellie May.  Philip leads his troop to their farm where they hole up.  Holding Harlan and Reba Sue at gunpoint, Philip wants to wait for the heat to die down before departing.

Now Reba Sue gets to know Suzanne and is intrigued by high fashion and luxury.  She is also fascinated by Kirk, Karen's BF.  Harlan never touches Reba Sue, but Kirk is all too willing.  Now Reba Sue and Kirk have passion...and Karen finds out.  A great catfight ensues and Reba Sue murders the nubile Karen by bludgeoning her with a moonshine jug.  The massacre has begun.  Carnage follows.  Big chested babes in go-go attire will be put in great peril.  Bear traps and religious fanaticism will level our gang...but Philip has a gun and his gang will fight back.  Reba Sue, when clothed, gets smarter and more conniving.  Who sill survive?

Will the backwoods Reba Sue murder all the go-go babes and make off with a big city fella?  Will any of the thieves survive the bear traps and moonshine? Perhaps this question is relevant for all of our daily plights? Will Reba Sue end up with go-go boots and jewels to replace her tight denim shorts?  A lot of cheese in this one and many of the babes will die horribly.  For some relevant social commentary and nubile babes in great peril, see "Demented Death Farm Massacre."
