Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Alasdair Orr Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Saiph90 I wish I could give this -1, it was up there with one of the worst movies I have ever endured. Where do you start, well here is what I learned.1 You get anyone and their relatives to write a review to boost the rating. 2 There is so little to do in Australia that it is better to travel hundreds of miles to stay in a s### hole rather than spend time next to a pool with a few beers. 3 No matter if you have a huge beer gut, wear women's knickers and have the social skills of a wilder beast you are still attractive to the stunning brunette because you are called donkey. 4 When confronted by a bloke who looks like the side of a house and has a four feet machete you should stumble up the riverbank naked and call him "a retard". 5 Although it took them a few days driving and camping their boxer mate can teleport there. 6 When said boxer arrives he thinks it is a good idea to offer the seven foot machete wielding maniac a Queensberry rules boxing match.This film was awful and the makers knew it was stinking the place out so thought we will make it funny so everyone knows we are doing it tongue in cheek. Unfortunately it is neither funny or a horror movie. There is no empathy with the characters you start rooting for Charlie. Australia is a beautiful, fascinating country but this manages to waste it, it wants to be Woolf Creek but ends up as time you will never get back, I have been more horrified by finding we had run out of coffee than anything in this movie.

dcarsonhagy Yet another hackneyed been-there-done-that recycled rubbish regarding stupid people, an old abandoned house with a legend, and six people who ALL apparently had a death wish. "Charlie's Farm" proves there are absolutely no new ideas out there for the horror genre. It seems some sort of family resided there, killed backpackers, and then ate them. That would certainly be on MY bucket list to visit, but I digress.Four people decide to visit these legendary haunts, even though they are warned at every turn to stay away. Tara Reid plays one of the people who have no spine and simply doesn't know when to give up and just stay at home. Why anybody would want to give up luxuries of an in-ground pool and civilization to go lurking about abandoned buildings (with a past, no less) still escapes me. One of my running complaints is that a cell phone never works out in the woods. This point, however, is made abundantly clear in the first of the film when one of the dudes tells Tara Reid not to bother to take her phone because it will get no service. That is all I'll discuss about this overused plot line.I just reviewed another lesser known horror film ("Judas Ghost"), which pleasantly surprised me, and one of the reasons it surprised me, was because the writer made ALL the characters in that movie likable. Not here. The one loud-mouth oaf named Donkey (and I'm sure you can guess why), I wanted to immediately die. The others were too stupid to live. The pacing was horrible. It took the story FOREVER to really get started. You get flashbacks and all sorts of other unnecessary filler to bump up the time limit, I suppose. Tara Reid looks like she's 60 years old. Bill Moseley and Kane Hodder make appearances...just for the sake of making appearances. This movie finally proved (to me at least) that Bill Moseley cannot act. His 1-note acting ability has proved very tiresome. Unlike the characters he's played in other movies, e.g. Chop Top in TCM 2 and brother Firefly in "The Devil's Rejects," his characters have now all become caricatures with absolutely no life in them.This movie is rated "R" for disturbing images, some nasty kills, and major stupidity.

Tanya Michelle As an Aussie, I am truly ashamed of this so called horror. I'd hate people to think this is the kind of crap we produce.I have no idea who the people are rating it so high, but I'm sure they have been paid to do so.The actors were mundane and monotone. I was glad when they were slain.The Charlie character was unbelievable, down to the silly contacts he wore.Some movies are so bad, they're good. This is not one of them.I think IMDb need to check who is writing these reviews, as I cannot see how people are raving on about how fantastic the film is, and how awesome the acting was. I've seen better acting on Neighbours.

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.
