The Farm (2018) Reviews

• The Farm: Interesting concept

  Platypuschow2018-12-02

  The Farm is a grisly original little independent horror that certainly isn't for the faint of heart. It tells the story of a young couple who fall foul of a farm that uses humans in place of traditional livestock. Gory, unsettling and intentionally shocking it certainly left its mark on me despite me generally not appreciating this type of horror. I'm very impressed with what they accomplished, it's quite remarkable what they've done. Sure I haven't exactly given it a mind blowingly high rating as it is plenty flawed and isn't material that I exactly seek out. Despite all this I recognise what they've done here, the idea is highly original, the execution is mostly solid and I'd recommend this to anyone seeking something that little bit different. Certainly only people with strong stomachs though. The Good: Well scored Great finale Some original ideas The Bad: Character development could have been better Idea doesn't feel fully utilized Things I Learnt From This Movie: Pet cages are traditionally made of adamantium Babies just can't catch a break in movies these days

• A Horror movie that has no horror

  The acting is that of a typical low budget movie. That said, there were little "surprises" or "horror" in this movie. Most of what should be on-screen horror-wise happens off screen. The narrative and plot are all over the place and many of the scenes are disjointed. Without adding spoilers there are many scenes where you will be scratching your head asking how did he/she get here/there? How did he/she do that? It seemed more like a PETA commercial that was drawn out over 80 minutes and not enough story to fill it.

• Is this a vegan movie?

  Take a look at the posters in the photo gallery and you basically get the whole story of this flick. I guess anybody knows that the meat industry is abominable in terms of animal welfare and this movie tries to show this horror by putting humans in place of animals. Sadly it doesn't succeed. No twists or surprises, barely any tension, bad acting, massive plot holes. At least Egor Povolotskiy shows his talent with some smart camera work in the beginning of the movie, but later reveals sloppiness with inordinately blurred backgrounds. Furthermore Sergei Stern deserves mention for his well-made score. Nevertheless a forgettable movie altogether.

• Stupid and Nonsense

  While traveling through the countryside, Nora (Nora Yessayan) and her boyfriend Alec (Alec Gaylord) stop for the night at an off-road bed and breakfast. When they wake up, the find that they are trapped in cages like animals in a farm managed by masked people to supply meat and milk. What will happen to them? "The Farm" is a stupid and nonsense film with a ridiculous premise. The plot is absurd with no development and seems that was made to shock the audiences only. My vote is two. Title (Brazil): Not Available

  There seems to be a trend for these kind of movies to not have a conclusion. No retribution, no real end. Im getting very tired of this bullcrap. I watched and predicted everything but the end, which I though would be a great end, it failed miserably. So watch and decide, I wouldn't recommend.
