Os Canibais

I thought that sayings like "I lost a few brain cells after that" or "watching that gave me cancer" were just that - sayings. But now I understand that something as bad as this movie can actually make you feel stupider after watching it and I actually got a headache which makes me think I've got a brain tumor. Please heed my warning and do NOT waste your time on this p.o.s. movie. You'll get more entertainment from watching paint dry and that is not an exaggeration.

Other than the absolutely stupid last scene at the table which wasn't needed and the baby death which was also not needed (could have been implied instead) this isn't as bad as others have said. In fact I watched to the end with ease. It's a good premise, see what animals lives are like as they are slaughtered. Sadly it didn't make me not want to eat meat, though I can see why if you were thinking about it you might just stop. Other than the terrible actress who played Nora, I liked that the animal masks didn't speak. It made it much creepier and unnerving. In fact that was what made the film a 5 for me. If you had the usual hillbilly language of ma and pa it would have been one giant cliche. The filming was good and the sets and score were really good for a budget film. Other than a few bad moments this was definitely not the crap film I expected it to be at all. In fact I'd tell you to ignore the other review scores and give it a go.

I like horror movies, mostly even the rubbish ones hold some sense of creepiness and horror. However this one was just boring. The idea behind this film is weird and messed up but as horror value goes there just wasnt any. I just wanted it to end due to it being uneventful. They could have done so much more with this.

Zero stars, I'm not impressed, not one little bit! Theres two hours of my life I'll never get back! Dont bother.

I liked the premise and the ideas involved but the execution is so poor!

The acting is amateurish, the writing is lazy, the gore is boring (I didn't know it could be) and nothing about it is cohesive.

One scene made me think the film was about to go nuts and explode into something horribly entertaining, but BABY did they miss a trick here.

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
