Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Crappy film

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

In this review I'll try my best to leave spoilers out so other folks can see what I've seen and make up their own minds about this film. I can go ahead and say, however, that it's not the bloodfest that some reviewers have said it was. I found myself shouting at the screen a few times at husband Chad because he was a spineless abomination. You will end up asking yourself throughout the film, "What did this wife see in this jerk? Why'd she remain with him for so long?"Cinematography-wise, the movie was okay. In fact, I'm surprised it didn't find the audience it was looking for. It may have been low budget but it would've played well on the big screen. In a way, it's a poor man's "Hostel" or "Saw". It wasn't a total waste of time; the acting was on point and the right (horrific) atmosphere was created. I guess it's one of those films you take for what it is. Check it out anyway. Mileage may vary, though.

Chad and Scarlett are looking for a fresh start. Thanks to the death of their child and Chad's gambling debts that have violent thugs threatening their well-being, the couple take to the road until a near fatal accident leaves them stranded in the middle of nowhere.Walking to the nearest farmhouse, Chad (William Lee Scott) and Scarlett (Jamie Anne Allman) meet Lilith and Samael (Kelly Hu and Steven Webber) who take them in for the night with the promise of delivering them to town in the morning.But after a night of eating and drinking, Lilith and Samael prove to be anything but the warm and inviting hosts that they projected. As the evening descends, Lilith and Samael engage in various tortures of the young couple beginning with a suffering experiment where Chad must hold the weight of his Scarlett's weight between his teeth to avert her drowning.The hours before dawn will have Chad and Scarlett in one do or die circumstance after another where their decisions and a mysterious link to their past will have intense, bloody and painful repercussions.Farmhouse was directed by George Bessudo who was last in control behind the camera for Lake Dead (2007), one of the 8 Films to Die For series. Bessudo shows some real maturity with Farmhouse creating, at times, a threatening atmosphere and two involving baddies in Lilith and Samael.The violence in Farmhouse is typical of most horrors which dabble in the gore/torture porn genre. A particular scene of an eyeball being plucked with a pocket knife was most noticeably cringe inducing moment.Based on a script by Jason Hice and Daniel P. Coughlin, Farmhouse is a better than average horror film that is able to develop interesting characters in a ghastly if not unfamiliar scenario.There are many flashbacks in Farmhouse which will inevitably have you trying to determine the purpose of the past to present shooting scenes. But we will suggest you don't read too much into the couple's past and let things play out as intended.The final chapters of Farmhouse were both interesting and a bit disappointing with the make-up and special effects that are essential to the final reveal and closure to the couple's evening. Although I appreciated the small twist, the execution of what is arguably the most important scene in the film seemed alienated from the rest of the film and lacked the quality required to execute the climax with above average flair.The downturn towards the end credits do take away some of the generated momentum of its earlier moments, but Farmhouse is still a film that is worth a mild recommendation.www.killerreviews.com

This definitely takes torture films to a whole new level with it's brutality and very dark subject matter with a twist that will shock you to the core. I thought the performances were all pretty good but sometimes fell flat but nothing distracting and is very graphic and twisted in some scenes that is definitely not for the squeamish. There was dread throughout the moment it started and it will have you guessing how it's going to end and you will probably be wrong because it's devastating and horrific. The production values are pretty basic lifetime movie of the week material but that doesn't make it lose its effectiveness and being downright disturbing and dark, very dark. Overall this is a pretty solid thriller about a couple that tries to start a new life after the death of their child but wound up fighting for their lives and I recommend this slow trip to hell for the twist alone.

Okay, so I thought maybe this was a decent movie while watching it, and then it just turned horrible. Most of the movie is like any decent horror film, but once the couple are able to leave and then end up right back where they started because they are apparently in Hell, the movie just turns upside down. It's a lot like those movies where you can tell they ran out of money towards the end and just threw something together. However, with this movie you can tell that they simply ran out of good ideas for a good ending. Aside from all that, the thing that makes this the worse movie I have ever seen is the fact that they not only suggest the drowning of a baby, but that they show the act of her drowning the baby. That stuff happens in real life to real babies from sick and sadistic parents/people. I really don't want to watch something that sick and twisted in what is suppose to be "entertainment". Thank you so much for making such a horrible and twisted film. I can guarantee the director and all the actors/actresses that I will never again see a film that you have any contribution to at all. Stupid stupid stupid!
