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.

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!

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.

jtindahouse 'Ozploitation' films can be very good. Both 'Wolf Creek' and its sequel set a very high standard for the genre. 'Charlie's Farm' unfortunately was a complete miss. The main problem with it lies in the dialogue. Almost every line is written so poorly that it becomes incredibly distracting and overpowers anything else going on in the film. The acting is also immensely poor. Tara Reid is the only cast member that can act (and you know you're in trouble when you're saying that).The one thing this had going for it were the creative kills near the end. After an immensely poor opening scene that lacked any creativity whatsoever, I was pleasantly surprised at the way the kill scenes later on were written. That was really the only redeeming factor the film had however. The writing was poor, the direction was poor, the acting was poor and the score was exceedingly poor, often completely missing what could otherwise have been a successful scare. Not much to see here.
