Watch Charlie's Farm For Free

Instant Favorite.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Heading off on a trip together, a group of friends decide to investigate the truth about an urban legend involving a killer boy living in an isolated house only to stumble upon the actual killer and must find a way to hold him off and get away alive.This one was quite the fun if slightly-flawed slasher. One of the film's better elements here is that there's a rather strong and traditional set-up that plays into the confines of the genre really well, as the urban-folklore backstory used here is the perfect introduction to the killer. The rather simple nature of the story that's told here and the accompanying flashback telling the story of the family tormenting the lone backpacker before they get ambushed by the posse which turns into a fine bit of vigilante justice that's quite an appropriate set-up here for the killer's background. Once it starts in on the slashing scenes, there's some great fun to be had here with the hulking, deformed killer getting into a nice series of stalking scenes featuring him chasing them around the house, from the opening attack on the lost backpackers to the scenes in the barn going after their new friends as well as the fine chases of the couple down at the lake. The last half hour likewise has some great times here with the discovery of the killer as he slaughters them throughout the house and engages in a brutal fist-fight with their late-arriving friend that's filled with some nice brutal deaths mixed in with some really good chasing, and the moments in the underground den makes for some chilling moments with the darkened location and nauseating conditions of the bodies left down there with the killer right after her is a great finish. Complete with the fine make-up on the killer and some rather fun gore- effects, these here are enough to hold this up over the few flaws present. The biggest issue with the film is the fact that there's just such a bland, overlong first-half filled with absolutely overlong sections here that just eat up running time with them traveling to the house and waiting around the house which offers up very little of anything interesting within here. It's not all that much fun to get the same lame jokes about their friend repeated over and over in here while also featuring nothing of any special interest throughout as the whole section of the running time in here is bland time-wasting scenes that prevent the slashing from happening. That also means the film tends to get rushed through in the finale where it really runs through the kill scenes which mean that they're action-packed yet not really all that creepy or chilling and it comes off as a series of missed opportunities due to the extended first half. The only other issue here is the lack of explanation as for why the killer's been alive all this time out in the bush of wild Australia without anything as far as parental guidance, but otherwise this one wasn't all that bad.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Nudity.

A great slasher flick from a very talented Aussie director. Special effects are amazing - although if you've seen any of Chris Sun's other films you would expect nothing less! I admit I have never been a fan of Tara Reid in the past and while still skeptical, she certainly redeemed some credibility in this film reminding us that she does still have a killer 'scream'! Nathan Jones as Charlie.... not much more need be said other than wouldn't you run with a 7ft monster chasing you? With titles like Mad Max:Fury Road and Troy under his belt, he brings Hollywood to Aussie horror - a brilliant casting choice for the role of Charlie Wilson. The stand out once again is Allira Jaques - a Chris Sun 'rising star'- her talent and performances just get better and better with each film. A beautiful girl with great potential - hope to see more of her in the future. For those looking for a deep and meaningful story line - this is not the film for you. There are no 'feel good' romances or happy endings. However, if you live to be scared, love the 'edge of you seat' kind of thrill, enjoy hiding under the blankets or just love the gore and special effects that come with a Chris Sun film - then this film needs to be at the top of your 'watch list'.

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.

I 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.
