Albino Farm

Four students head to the southern backwoods populated by freaky rednecks for a school project but stupidly seek out Albino Farm, a place where some seriously deformed looking hicks live. If you have seen any of the Wrong Turn movies then you know what to expect, only this one is far worse than the worst of those. The students are not only annoying characters but they are played by people who clearly cannot act. The freaks themselves do look pretty scary, however the picture is very dark and it is often difficult to see what is happening, which isn't much to be fair. Nowhere near as gory as the Wrong Turn movies, this is a very poor movie.

Four college friends decide to stop of in a bizarre back-woods town full of people with birth defects while heading deep into the Ozark Mountains for a class assignment, entranced with these 'freaks' the group decides to investigate further much to their own detriment. The film is based, albeit extremely loosely, on the real Albino Farm. Also for any wrestling fan who only want to see it for Chris Jericho, you'll be disappointed as he's not in the movie much despite getting top-billing.

This is a dark film. Not really in subject matter, just that a good deal of the last half of the film is night time and more than a tad hard to see. This of course hampered my enjoyment of the film somewhat, but what I could see wasn't all that bad for a low-budget "Hills Have Eyes" clone. Some of the special effects were surprisingly effective (not counting the atrocious cgi towards the end of the film) and the acting was mediocre, yet well done enough for a film of it's ilk. There's absolutely no doubt that this movie won't set the world on fire, but it's competent enough to warrant a rental for undiscriminating fans of 'hillbilly horror'.

If you go down to the woods today, something nasty will happen, and if you are familiar with the genre you will know more or less what. It starts with four of them on the road trip - two guys and two girls - this one apparently for some sort of school project. And they happen upon Albino Farm unwisely ignoring the warnings of the locals to leave town PDQ.

The main problem with this film, but far from the only one, is that most of the action happens in the dark, so even if you understand what's going on, you can't see it. Aside from that, "Albino Farm" is just awful, not even the soundtrack can save it.

Well, I must say it was more than I expected- what a title! A quick description would be a mash-up of Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes. This is classic low budget horror flick that ticks all the boxes for clichés(- see Scream!). The storyline is simple, four teenagers happen upon The Albino Farm and then the horror begins.

I won't say all the acting was bad- I'll just say not everyone was bad. In fact both the female performances were stellar- esp. semi nude scene- which was blatantly a body double. It kept me watching. I will admit the film was so bad that I stopped it playing twice. Maybe it was the shame of realising I actually wanted to know where this tripe was going or it may have been anger- that someone actually made this for my enjoyment.

Was it worth watching? It might be better than watching nothing. I've seen much worse than this.

I always watched Tammin Sursock on Home and Away years ago, it's such a shame that her career has not moved forward. This movie feels like it was filmed on someones home video camera. The cheapness is the main thing. It's just unpleasant to sit through. It feels like The audio was horrible and the continuity was often off, with characters moving ever so slightly in most scenes which was noticeable and annoying to watch. I don't know why you would agree to make this movie, I have worked on film sets before and you can tell when people know what they are doing or not, these people clearly were rushing. Even watching a sitcom is more realistic and fun to watch. Take "Dead Set" the British TV series for example, that was not a huge budget production but was an awesome adventure to watch. The camera angles have been taken into account poorly for the cheap cameras.

A rushed and cheaply filmed movie with no passion. 3 stars.
