I joined IMDb just to write this review. I am a big fan of the horror genre, especially slashers. I am shocked that this movie has such a low rating. I assume people who don't appreciate slasher movies are the reason. The story line is pretty typical for a slasher film (it's not a copycat by any means) but that isn't a bad thing in my book. The kill scenes are amazing with believable gore and effects. The acting is surprisingly good for this genre as you really don't expect much from slasher films since character development isn't the point. The only downside to this movie for me was Tara Reid. Her acting is AWFUL. Like I said, I don't expect much in the acting department but her atrocious performance really took away from the movie. I expected more considering she is experienced in acting. Overall I was very pleased with this movie as was my boyfriend, also a fan of the genre. We were laughing, cheering, and had a great time watching. If you are a fan of the slasher genre, definitely watch! If not, don't bother. Sometimes I really feel like ratings should be grouped into two categories: fans of the genre, and non fans. This movie deserves way more than the 4.6 it currently has.
... View MoreMean yes, maybe a little but this movie had potential if it had an actress that could actually move when the action is happening. From her sad ass whimpering to her heroin addict looking legs it almost made watching every scene she was in more painful then the girl under the tractor. Really when she jumped off the cattle ramp i thought she was going to break both her legs and was that shot in slow motion because it looked realllly slow to me. besides her i thought this was a decent hill billy slasher, its no wrong turn mind you, but it is enjoyable. i would have given it a solid 5 but the addition of maybe i should invest in a tread climber brings the score down to 4.
... View MoreI loved this movie! The mix of humour, horror, gore and the cast of characters was brilliant. To think that it was made on the Sunshine coast of Queensland employing a lot of local talent makes me feel so proud that such a world class film was shot where I live an hour away from! From the very beginning you're hooked. Literally. Some of the humour is a little corny, but as an Aussie, I find this very realistic to our nature. The characters were realistic and believable, and quintessentially Australian...apart from Tara of course. Takes me back to the days of the old horror movies, when the gore and special effects weren't generated by computer. Fantastic work Chris Sun, please keep it up. You have raised the bar on Aussie Horror. Kudos.
... View MoreI've seen my fair share of low budget horror movies and horror movies in general and a lot of the recent ones are really bad. But Charlie's Farm must be one of the worst I've ever seen.If i had to sum up everything that was bad about this movie, the 1000 word maximum wouldn't be enough, so I'll just keep it short.The movie is extremely boring, it takes about an hour of mindless wondering and some of the worst dialogue I've ever heard in a film before something even remotely exciting happens.The characters are so dumb and so shallow that it isn't even fun to watch anymore. Low budget slashers tend to have generic and just plain lazy character decisions, but I haven't seen it as bad as this in a while. They have no back story, no depth and are constantly doing the opposite of believable.The 'crazy bad guy' is really just the same as in every horror movie ever done and he first has to get his teddy bear back before he starts killing them and hunting them down?! What on earth was that?I could go on and on with examples of why this movie is just utter crap, but I'll spare everyone the trouble. Please don't go see this movie, you will definitely be disappointed. The only good things about this movie were the great scenery and locations and there were some pretty cool kills in it. But other then that, it's not worth the watch. Just stay away from it.
