SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Paul Magne Haakonsen The reasons for why I opted to sit down and watch "Charlie's Farm" was solely because of two things; of which the first was that it is a horror movie, and the second being that Kane Hodder is in the movie. It turns out that my horror heart skipped a beat when I saw that Bill Moseley also was in this movie - a fact which had eluded me."Charlie's Farm" started out quite nicely with some brutality and slayings, so the scene and mood of the movie was established right away. So it was off to an impressive start.The atmosphere of the movie and the build up of the storyline is very reminiscent of the horror movies from the 1990s, so there is a sense of familiarity and nostalgia to be experienced here. Personally, I think that worked out well in favor of the movie.The cast was for the most part quite interesting in this movie. I was initially thrilled to have Kane Hodder and Bill Moseley together in a horror movie, but was somewhat disheartened when I came to realize that they didn't actually have any on-screen time together. Also, I feel somewhat bamboozled because Kane Hodder didn't really have that big of a role in this movie. Now, I don't claim to be much of a fan of Tara Reid, and for some reason she looks exactly the same in every movie she is in, exactly the same - so she could potentially just be the same character in all of her movies.The special effects, props and make-up department had done some pretty good work in bringing the movie to life on the screen, and the gore and mayhem looked rather realistic, which really added to the enjoyment of the movie. Well, at least most of the time anyway, there were moments when it was obviously a prosthetic being used, and was painstakingly visibly so.I have to admit to having a good laugh when Kane Hodder was standing in the dark and asking "is that you Jason?"If you enjoy the old school slasher horror genre then you will most definitely get a kick out of "Charlie's Farm". However, the movie does follow that traditional blueprint of how the horror movies were made back then, so on that note don't expect any great surprises in terms of innovation or creativity.

Peter Pluymers "You're not planning to go there? Totally. What do you know about that place? Nothing! Stay out of there, boy.""Girl in woods" ended with the birth of an urban legend. This Australian slasher starts with one. The legend of Charlie. A disabled son who escapes from a lynching, organized by villagers. This retaliation was necessary to put an end to the violent activities of the crazy Wilson family. Murder and cannibalism were their favorite leisure activities. "Charlie's Farm" is a masterful blend of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Friday the 13th". Don't expect an intellectual story, of course . And the intelligence quotient of the participating characters isn't impressive. This bloody slasher meekly follows the established rules of a true slasher. I was just wondering if the massacres in terms of originality would rise above average. Indeed, they did in a way.The recipe for a slasher movie is as simple as the simple-minded who appear in it. Take a gang of youths with not enough brain cells, who still continue with their stupid initiative despite multiple warnings. Next you come up with a destructive and inhuman creature out of the past who's hiding in the area where those stupid morons are heading for. That's it. You have all the ingredients to create a slasher. The mindless company is led by Jason (Dean Kirkright) and Mick (Sam Coward), also named "Donkey" because of the size of a particular body-part where, according to another legend, most brain cells of a male are hidden. The company is completed by Natasha (Tara Reid) and Melanie (Allira Jaques). Traditionally, the characteristics of the females are totally opposite. Natasha is the cautious type, while Melanie is the adventurous and naive girl. Obviously their feminine curves are proportionally balanced, so that even a widescreen viewer is presented with a richly filled image.The subsequent course of the film can be summarized as follows. First there's an introduction of the future victims, using nimble and uninteresting conversations in such a way that they look amiable. After the announcement of their ultimate plan, you get to handle some flashbacks with relevant background information. The road to their destination is littered with individuals who are trying to persuade them to abandon their plan. Fruitless attempts as always. Usually other random fellow sufferers arrive coincidentally and join the group (here a couple suddenly pops up out of nowhere). And after this it's just patiently waiting until the presumed legend appears. From that moment on it's simply guessing who'll be the first victim that'll be chopped into pieces by Charlie and who'll be the lucky one to get away scot-free.Thus we have dealt with the chapter "content relevancy". This part is negligible (as usual). What remains are the massacres and the central character who's responsible for this. And to be honest, this was the shortest part of the film, but also the most entertaining part. Charlie is impressive and frightening at the same time. He behaves like a human meat grinder. And without hesitation he'll stab his absurdly large knife into a victim who gets in his way. The massacre is bloody and merciless. The most grotesque killing is that of "Donkey". On the one hand it looked terribly painful and on the other hand it was such an absurd, comic situation, I spontaneously started to laugh. Charlie himself (played by Nathan Jones, former WWA) is an imposing, hideous-looking character. A retarded serial killer with a demonic grin. Unscrupulously he turns somebody inside out, so he can use him later for dinner. The used effects look professional and successful. Physically Charlie looks really creepy (although there were some moments when it looked rubbery). You can expect some gore fragments with several liters of blood being used. And a gloomy environment similar to the basement of the Sawyer family."Charlie's Farm" is not such an impressive or original film. And of course it's without depth. The intention of the film is also to be meaningless and will purely focus on the senseless and morbid killings. Fans of this genre will therefore enjoy this film and appreciate a sequel. One thing I must admit. I wasn't expecting such a dark denouement. More reviews here : http://bit.ly/1KIdQMT

kosmasp The "monster" of the movie is pretty decent (even though "pretty" should not be taken literally). It's also nice to see Kane Hodder without Make-p and acting. And if you're aware of him you can guess what kind of will happen during the course of the movie (and yes that is kind of cool too). The problem is the same old story, boring characters, changes of attitude or mentality in a blink of an eye without explanation and further things that only happen in horror movies.Not to mention that almost every lead character is kind of despicable. Maybe that was planned, you never know where your sympathies are supposed to lie with some of these slasher movies. The effects are decent too for a low budget movie (also graphic at times). But nothing you actually need to see ...

WakenPayne When it comes to Australian film, I feel detached from it. The reason being that I feel that the movies they are hyping up like Red Dog and now The Last Cab to Darwin are movies I have no interest in seeing (I can name quite a few good movies though). I just feel like they're either targeting all round family movies and just seeps into clichés that are there despite cultural identity. However, with this... What I think of it is kind of complicated.The plot is that 2 guys decide to get their girlfriends to do a road trip and try and get to a farm in the middle of nowhere that was a murder site where a whole family was involved and the only loose end being that of the mentally challenged boy, Charlie. When they get there it becomes an all out gore-fest as (shock, gasp!) Charlie is now a 7 foot tall killer, deciding to pick them off one by one.Okay, the premise is basically every single slasher movie ever made. However I see appeal if what you're looking for is the gore. I don't think it's on the same level as better gore-oriented horror movies like Hellraiser but... The genital mutilation scene is one which ensures no male will forget this movie (unless you're seeing it on television, which will certainly cut it out). The other kills aren't as memorable but if excessive gore scares you then by all means, get this movie and watch it.But for me this movie has problems. First of all I just find some of the clichés in slasher movies to be too tired and while this does try I don't think a single person will buy that Charlie is really down the first time. I don't necessarily blame the movie for it (especially considering there are so many other movies doing the exact same thing) I just think the sub-genre is too set in it's ways and needs something to rejuvenate it.If there is anything though to take away from it is that it is trying. I mean the acting from the main players range from being shaky to good and it is certainly something for those looking for a gore-fest however I just think the clichés among other things just sink the entire movie. We all know when the couple goes skinny-dipping their minutes are numbered. In all honesty, this is okay, I don't think it's the 4.6 it is here but if you're looking for a bloody, bloody time I'd say this is worth looking at.
