Charlie's Farm, All-Star Cast Served on a Buffet

Tara Reid!  Bill Mosely!  Kane Hodder! Will any of them survive? The foe is a big monster of a man who will make Jason or Michael look puny.  In Australia, we all know, if you go 200 yards in from the east coast, mutant hillbilly type fiends wait to eat you.  That's what we have here.  We also have hunks and babes and we are sad that we just know they will die horribly.  Skinny-dippers? Yep! Castrations? Yep! But, will there be a final girl and will that final girl be Tara Reid? Our feature today is 2014's "Charlie's Farm," made in Australia and directed by Chris Sun.


Tara Reid!  Tara Reid!  Tara Reid! Blonde babe extraordinaire. Right...the movie. Four great looking pals set off to camp eight hours inland...mistake. Natasha (Reid) is hesitant when she finds out that her beau, Jason (Dean Kirkright) plans on bringing them to Charlie's Farm. His buddy, Donkey (Sam Coward) has a huge tally-whacker, and is game. Oh yes, Melanie (Allira Jaques) is along for fun. Poor Melanie, she has "being caught by a giant mutant, violated, and ripped apart" written all over her face. We will be sad to see her go. Oh! Charlie's Farm? over 20 years ago a posse from the town murdered John Wilson (Mosely) and his wife when they found out the Wilson family took in backpackers, then raped and ate them. A vicious metaphor for AirBNB? The only family member not accounted for after the massacre is the young boy Charlie.

Charlie (Nathan Jones) is all grown up, I mean really grown up! He still occupies the farm through underground tunnels. When our four hunks and babes show up to camp, he is quite taken by the two babes, Natasha and Melanie. A couple more arrive, backpackers, but that's just to get the kill count up. Now one by one, Charlie hunts them down and the kills will be incredibly gory.  Poor Melanie, so sad what Charlie does to her. Oh, Kane Hodder!  Right! Well, you'll see.  If you are wondering if you'll see a knockdown drag out fight between Charlie and Jason...rest assured...you will. No spoilers here, but we do pull for Natasha to survive...but odds are not in her favor.

Will Jason be able to dent the disgusting veneer of this Aussie super-killer wannabe?  Will Charlie do anything else to the babes other than...well, never mind.  What is it with the outback that produces so many cannibalistic mutant types...and be advised, if you follow Australian elections...these creeps vote. Gore, cheese and beef, cannibalism, skinny-dipping, a behemoth kill count, and some classic slasher tropes will all be served in great frequency, so see "Charlie's Farm."
