Charlie's Farm Movie Review

Charlie's Farm is a 2014 Australian horror movie directed by Chris Sun, who also directed Boar. It stars Kane Hodder, Tara Reid and Bill Moseley.

The film begins with people who are hiding on a farm. They are getting picked off by someone. They all get killed. Cut to a group of friends who want to go on a roadtrip. They are Natasha(Reid), Melanie, Jason and Mick. Jason and Mick want to go to a haunted farm called Charlie's Farm. A family died in there. Natasha and Melanie don't know about their destination. They set off and the stop at a local pub to ask directions to the farm. A man called Blue lives in the area. Mick asks him about the farm. He tells them not to go there. He was there when the family was killed. The locals don't want people bringing it up. One of them tells them where to go and they leave. When the girls find out about where they are going, they are not happy. Natasha doesn't like it at all.

Mick tells the story of the family who lived on the farm. They were called John Wilson(Moseley) and his wife, Meredith. They were killers and cannibals. They had a son called Charlie and he watched as they murdered and ate people. The locals showed up at the farm. They were tired of what was going on. Blue was amongst them. They want the Wilson's to stop the killing. They shoot John dead. Meredith takes Charlie and that's all Mick knows about it. They call a friend of theirs called Tony(Hodder). He knows the area. He tells them that it is a bad place and that backpackers disappeared around there. He gives them directions. They reach it. They look around. It is a creepy place. Melanie finds a teddy bear. There is a flashback to Meredith and Charlie. She hides him while the locals catch her. They kill her as Charlie watches.

The group camps inside the house. Melanie wakes up at night and she sees a man. The next morning, two backpackers arrives. They are called Alyssa and Gordon. They talk to the group. Melanie realises that the teddy bear she found has gone. She tells them that there was a figure in the doorway last night. They think she was dreaming. Everyone sets off exploring.. Mick and Melanie finds a mineshaft. There is a terrible smell coming out of it. Gordon and Alyssa get killed. Tony is worried about the group. Mick and Melanie see Charlie(Nathan Jones) which is bad news for them. They end up dead. Natasha and Jason talk about Charlie and they hide. Tony shows up and he just happens to run into big bad Charlie. They have a fight. Jason sees and he tries to help but he gets killed. Tony gets killed by Charlie. Natasha is left and she has to run.

He catches her and she gets knocked out. She wakes up in a box in some sort of tunnel. She wanders around. There are loads of bodies in it. Charlie arrives and she hides from him. She manages to get out of the tunnel and the local guy Blue shows up. He has a gun with him. Of course, this isn't enough to stop the monstrous Charlie and Blue ends up joining the dead. Natasha grabs the gun and she shoots Charlie. She runs off and gets to Blue's truck. She isn't safe for long though. Charlie rises yet again and he impales her on the shotgun. She is taken to add to his collection of bodies in the tunnel.

This was a fun film. I liked the story of the farm and the cast weren't bad. The addition of Kane Hodder was welcome. Charlie himself is played by Australian former wrestler Nathan Jones who also showed up in Chris Sun's other movie, Boar. I liked that movie too. This is a decent movie with some gore. I enjoyed it overall and I certainly recommend it. I will give this a 6/10.
