The classic horror tale of a young couple who take a wrong turn and stumble into a small town full of people with nefarious intentions is turned on its head in this disturbing ode to blood, guts, and human flesh. Seeping with eerie atmosphere and the bleeding rawness of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Gaspar Noe’s extreme cinema, this genuine outlaw work of art finds as much fear in its excess violence as it does in its insidious images.

The anticipated exploitation flick The Farm unfortunately failed to live up to expectations and the curse on my favorite subgenre continues. The story revolves around a couple who accidentally end up at a local farm where a group of uncommunicative people in masks keep tourists in cages and treat them like animals. The idea itself is perverse enough, and the women being artificially inseminated to supply milk to the local restaurant is quite powerful, but there’s no gore (apart from one shot), and the acting is appalling to the point of amateurishness. You have no connection to the characters, the music is quite wacky but doesn't build tension or momentum, it's quite slow and uninteresting in places, and the finale is unfortunately neither action-packed nor satisfying. It's a shame about the unused theme. The whole film builds on a perverse idea that could have benefited from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but nothing worthy of attention is delivered. For me, I don't recommend it. 40%.
