The film does start off unsettling and shows a lot of promise that sadly falls downhill quickly. The production values did have some atmosphere, some nice shots here. 'Charlie's Farm' just isn't too good either and doesn't execute its premise very well. Not a waste of time certainly, there are far worse films out there that are far more amateurish and made the mistakes of insulting the intelligence or making one consider turning off. Like as was said for 'Lost After Dark' recently, 'Charlie's Farm' was one of those films sadly that had its moments and pros and started off quite well, but at the end of the day was not that clever, entertaining or creepy and suffered from taking a too serious approach, complete with some moments of juvenile humour, and bringing nothing new to deliberately familiar elements. Not a new premise as such but one that did spark my interest a good deal. The 80s also saw some classic horror, and it was interesting for 'Charlie's Farm' to intend to be a throwback homage to 80s slasher/horror. Have actually been entertained and creeped out by a number of them. Have nothing against slashers, far from it. Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 3 / 10 A farm not really worth visiting
