Surprisingly Enjoyable,
By
This review is from: Albino Farm (DVD)
I am surprised to admit that I, for the most part, highly enjoyed this film. In short, a group of college kids decide to investigate rumors of a strange community within a disconnected (from the real world) farm community, only to find the rumors are very true. While the essential premise has been repeated at nauseam in many other movies, this one was executed pretty well, well enough to certainly justify a rental. The scenes leading up to the actual on-screen action (necessitated by the horror elements) do a great job of building tension and setting an ominous mood. The actual action-horror scenes are very good too; they slowly introduce and reveal the monster characters with a strong visual impact and do not overdo it. Far too many mutant/monster movies grossly overdo the monster to the point of annoying absurdity, not so here. My primary complaint is the awful Indian guy. The cast is primarily 4 college kids, 3 of which mesh well together and have generally good on-screen chemistry. Not so for the Indian kid. His acting skills are on par with that of a rock, and he certainly breathes the same level of life into his character, a completely boring, empty, flat guy whose jokes and pitiful attempts at acting like a cool american kid are shamelessly artificial. That notwithstanding, the movie overcomes this awful casting decision and provides a highly enjoyable movie that does not overdo the gore.

ALBINOS, THE OTHER WHITE MEAT,
By
This review is from: Albino Farm (DVD)
I knew nothing about this movie but I saw it in Blockbuster and on the cover someone is holding a grappling hook, and I thought, Hmmm, maybe this could be interesting. So I went in with low expectations and it didn't even meet those.
For starters, I think the "Wrong Turn" well has been dipped into once too often. It would appear every time anyone in America ventures into a wooded area they are going to be set-on by a pack of mutant, redneck cannibals. Well I guess this time they stirred the well-water some and made them Albino, mutant redneck cannibals. There is a legend that deep in the Ozarks is an Albino Farm. That's it. Are they farmers? What do they do? Do they slop the cows and milk the pigs? Two college-age couples decide to investigate. These four share a quarter each of the same brain. Close to their destination they begin to meet up with an odd assortment of country folk including a character who flicks lit cigarettes at them and a albino, mutant, redneck dwarf who scrapes up roadkill for lunch. They get to a weirdly under-populated town(budget problems I would guess) and the couples split up and try to find directions to the farm. One couple approach a stretch limousine(?) and the driver and his front seat passenger are Siamese twins. The backseat passenger is the cigarette flicker with his long, red greasy hair, red-circled eyelids and teeth with insect parts on them. Ciggie says he knows the way to the farm and tells the couple to hop in and they do. (See what I mean about a quarter of a brain each) The rest of the movie involves the shenanigans with the albinos but the movie by then is so dark it would appear Stevie Wonder was the cameraman and he forgot to take the cover off the lens. One survivor manages to escape and she ends up at a revival tent meeting. She thinks she's safe but the congregation are the townfolk and they turn out to be deformed, crazed, bible thumpers-even the siamese twins and bug teeth are there, led by an albino, Billy Graham type preacher. Avoid this at all costs, it sounds like fun but even the sound was edited in a cement mixer. One minute a whisper, the next moment a breaking the sound barrier sonic boom. I had to hold onto my remote so I could adjust the sound as needed.

Freaks and Geeks,
By
This review is from: Albino Farm (DVD)
I caught this on The Movie Channel's Splatterday on Demand.
I thought it was pretty good,the makeup effects were really trippy and well done as was the story itself. Yes it was one of the 20 somethings on a road trip that wander into a town full of freak flicks and I love these kind of movies. The acting was pretty good save a bad accent here and there.There were some genuinely creepy moments and a few gory scenes,not an abundance of gore but enough to satisfy.There were freaks galore,some of the side show variety and some that were even freakier than that.I liked how they gradually introduced you to the different levels of freaks/deformity's and didn't just hit you over the head with it from the start. I also liked that they didn't beat you over the head with the creature effects but let you see enough to quench your curiosity.If I had a major criticism it would be that many of the night shots were hard to see and I really wanted to see all of it clearly. if it ever got a Blu ray release I would scoop it up because that would make for much better viewing.The ending was somewhat predictable but still effective and fitting. Don't pay any attention to the really bad reviews because this movie is way better than allot of the stuff that is straight to Dvd.I was always fascinated with freak shows so this may have played a part in why I liked it so much.I say check it out.
