Charlie's
Farm
(2015)
Charlie's
Farm is a slasher horror
movie where a group of
friends decide to go on
a road trip, but this
time to somewhere other
than the beach. Friends
Donkey (Sam Coward) and
Jason (Dean Kirkright)
convince Jason's
American girlfriend
Natasha (Tara Reid) to
go in land to a ranch,
but they really want to
go to Charlie's Farm, a
place where backpackers
have apparently gone
missing because Charlie
has become a psychopath
after his parents are
slaughtered by the
townsfolk because they
were murderers or so the
legend goes. Natasha
gets her friend Melanie
(Allira Jaques, a
regular in the
director's movies) to
come with them, which
pleases Donkey as he has
a crush on her. On their
way to the farm, they
stop off at a pub and
cause trouble when
mentioning Charlie's
Farm, even laughing off
a warning from one of
the locals and Jason's
father (Kane Hodder).
Now the girls know that
they are making a stop
at Charlie's Farm and
reluctantly go along
with the plan. After
spending an uneventful
night at the farm, they
are joined by a couple
of backpackers and they
all go off to do some
exploring of the farm.
But, Charlie (Nathan
Jones) has been waiting
the whole time and now
he's going to make these
trespassers welcome with
the help of his trusty
scythe.
Derivative slasher
obviously made for the
overseas market (horror
faves Bill Moseley and
Kane Hodder have cameos,
Tara Reid is one of the
leads) that owes a lot
to Texas Chainsaw
Massacre (the entire
back story is pretty
much a rip off of TCM)
that takes about an hour
to get to the killings,
so there's a lot boring
build up before, I have
to say, a pretty decent
body count. But, there's
nothing new here and as
I said, takes forever to
get to the pay off.
