It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
View MoreI really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
View MoreIt's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
View MoreWhile it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
View MoreThe Farm That Hell Built is the name of the making of documentary on this DVD. I wish it was the title of the actual movie. I make this wish because this movie is like one of those early 70's horror movies that builds slowly to a weird, all hell breaks loose climax. And you know that if this movie was in fact released in the early 70's it would most certainly be called The Farm That Hell Built. At least that's what they are calling it at the drive-in in my head where it's playing on double bill with Dream No Evil. You know what I'm talking about right? No? Well watch more early 70's horror movie for corn's sake. While you're at it check out Windcroft too, or The Farm That Hell Built as I like to call it. What was the point of all this? Oh yes, Windcroft, I dug it, I think you will too.
View MoreThis movie does not deserve a 4, it deserves a 1(awful). Trust me, more thought was put into making the cover for the movie, than was put into making the movie itself. If you look closely at the awards, you will see that they are fakes.1. Sad day for movie lovers everywhere when this movie was released to the public.2. Sad day for movie lovers everywhere when the director knew the film was bad before he even released it, so he put fake awards on the front of the video case.3. Sad day for movie lovers everywhere when the director knew the film was so bad that he paid a marketing team to come to IMDb and post fake reviews and rate the movie a 10 before it even came out.4. Sad day for movie lovers everywhere when you watch another movie and find out that more thought was put into the movie case than was put into the movie.This movie is not interesting, and it's very badly put together. Some movies are so bad that they become funny, but this movie is so bad that it's just bad. Nothing good about this movie.
View MoreI was pleasantly surprised with this film, as its 4.4 rating isn't too hot. The characters at first annoyed me slightly, but I was intrigued as I could feel something building up. In fact the main character is rather odd but there may be a reason for that as the story unfolds. I would describe this film as a thriller with some psychology thrown in. It soon becomes apparent that there is more to this than just a trip to the family farm, and it will keep you gripped.As the film unfolds some odd things become clear and its not clever but somehow very enjoyable.Persist with it and you will enjoy, there isn't a huge cast but there doesn't need to beI quite liked it and its better than its rating at the moment.
View MoreBuild and release thriller that caught me off guard.Strong acting from cast of unknowns, at least the leads - supporting characters weak.Photography of beautiful landscapes was risky for thriller, but it worked - like "The Shining" but more scenery.Script was overwritten at moments but the story was strong.It claims to be low-budget, but there were aerial shots and coyotes and a polished look.Slow pace, especially in beginning, but it all builds evenly to a frantic ending.The music was eerie - acoustic with digital effects that worked for many scenes.The subject matter was unsettling at times, my lady-friend squirmed at some points, but was not over the top.For a "thriller" it wasn't really very scary - it was more creepy and disturbing, reminding me of a 1960s suspense film but with real violence.Recommended for cold, depressing nights or rainy afternoons.
