Movie Review: A Great Torture Flick With a Nice Surprise
Summary: 5 Stars
Farmhouse is a rare gem within the overcrowded horror sub-genre of torture flicks. With movies such as "Hostel", "Saw" and "Turistas" already available on the market, it's usually pretty easy to pass on torture flicks. The assumption that all of these films are the same may make many potential viewers turn away from considering Farmhouse. However, given the opportunity to view the film, I'm sure that they will quickly have a change of heart in regards to this film.
The story focuses on a couple who lives in San Diego. Chad and Scarlett are husband and wife venturing to start their lives anew in Seattle, Washington. They depart from San Diego after leaving all of their belongings to some friends and begin to head towards their destination. The reason for their sudden departure? Chad was recently involved with "loan sharks" and out of desperation the couple believes that moving far away will protect them from further harm from these "gangsters". Previous encounters with the "debt collectors" ended with violence, one encounter even leaving the pregnant Scarlett on the floor. As a result of the fall, Scarlett's baby is born with a disability (possibly Epilepsy) and faces seizures constantly. The audience knows that somehow the child has died, but the details aren't explained as of yet. The sudden death of the child had such an impact on the couple that it contributed as yet another reason why Chad and Scarlett decide to start their lives all over again.
Slowly after their departure, however, Chad falls asleep at the wheel during their drive to Seattle and the two of them are forced to seek shelter in a small farmhouse along the highway. They are taken in by a friendly couple who offers to help them locate a body shop in the morning and allow the traveling couple to stay the night. Looks can be deceiving, however, as the once friendly couple begins to slowly show their true selves. What unravels next is sure to shock the non-expecting audience. Brutal torture on various degrees occurs, as Chad and Scarlett begin to fight for their lives. The audience is left watching scenes of body mutilation and watch in horror as the couple meets more agony at every turn.
Just as things start to look up for the couple, the audience is greeted with a surprise twist regarding their exact location and why the two people are being tortured in the first place. The film plays itself as a justified torture flick with a moral to tell, showing the viewer why it's important to live a better life and just how evil greed truly is. With a great plot that is revealed slowly through flashbacks, the audience gains deeper insight on the past actions of Chad and Scarlett. Couple this with great acting, amazing lighting, and shocking scenes and you'd truly be out of your mind to pass this one up. A great film to add to any horror collection, and one that may change your perception on the torture sub-genre.
