Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
nzswanny Don't get me wrong, this movie was pretty underrated. The film carried a good story for the first hour and it was a pretty good film. However, after the first hour, it felt like the script was rushed. Because, well, basically, the film after the first hour was basically just Charlie killing everyone, and it felt sort of out of place from the movie. But the first hour was brilliant, it was suspenseful, it was chilling, and it was almost well paced. The film is about a group of backpackers who decide to go camping at Charlie's Farm, a place where there was a whole lot of murders. One of the backpackers tell the story of Charlie's Farm, and about how Charlie became a killer. After that, the campers stay at a field for the night and camp their, and the next day they go searching for Charlie's Farm. They then find it, and go exploring around it.At night, while most of the campers are sleeping, one camper wakes up and see's a shadowed figure, which is supposed to be Charlie. Ever since that, people just start getting killed, and everyone dies.Sounds lousy, right? Believe me, after the first hour, it really is. However, I recommend you go watch it because the first hour was gold.6.3/10!
Alex van Beek As films go, this was a 5 but as horror films go, this was a 6. This really had everything you would want from a slasher flick: a menacing and monstrous baddie with a sad and weird backstory, a variety of kills and plenty of gore and creepy moments in eerie settings. This isn't one of the great Australian horror films but it is a dependably good one. It does everything you want it to. The build up is nicely paced and then it just kicks off and doesn't relent until it ends.One of the things I really liked about this film was that it was a horror that wasn't filled with teens and tweens unlike a lot of films in the genre these days.It was an enjoyable watch and a good way to fill the late night. If you like your horror films then I'd recommend this one to you.
FlashCallahan For four friends it is supposed to be a weekend of fun… and of course, a bit of cheeky cheeky. Jason and Natasha are a steady couple, although she thinks he can be a bit of a dolt sometimes. While Jason's friend Donkey plans on using the weekend as a way to impress Melanie.The four decide to head to the legendary Charlie's Farm, a farm that is was once the scene of a tragic murder spree instigated by John Wilson who was then murdered by the town's folk, who were tired of the district getting a bad name for the number of backpackers who were going missing in the area.While the four believe they may be able to find a few things of value at the farm to sell what they don't expect to confront is John's mentally disturbed son Charlie, who has called the property home since that night.It's been a long time coming, but finally, hers a film that can stand proud with the stalk n' slash movies that dominated the horror genre in the eighties, and even though it's more or less a blatant rip off of Friday the 13th, its still a hoot from start to finish.And this is purely because it doesn't take itself seriously at all, and Ozploitation movies work much better when they tell of a legend, or back packers are involved. This is the best horror movie Australia has given us since Wolf Creek.It's pretty simple stuff, we have our four backpackers who have heard of the titular legend an decide to venture there for a bit of an adrenaline rush, and wouldn't you know it, the deformed son we saw in the flashback is all grown up, invincible and ready to kill just like Jason did all those years ago.And wouldn't you know it? Old school Jason Kane Hodder is in this as the salt of the earth, down to earth, working class stereotype who knows of the fours visitation, and tries to help.It's nice to know that a film that homages not just eighties slasher movies, but also the gorenography craze that Eli Roth polluted horror movies with for a few years, can feel so fresh and original.If you are a fan of exploitation horror, that is self knowingly never scary, and can make fun of itself, then this is the horror you've deserved, because I'm sure, like me, you've trudged through a lot of rubbish to get to this little nugget of gold.I really hope they make a sequel.
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.
