Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

A Disappointing Continuation

A Brilliant Conflict

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I couldn't begin to tell you how many times I've been to the real Albino Farm, but it has to be dozens! It was a favorite hangout for teens and college kids during my college days back in the 80s, mostly due to its reputation for hauntings.This film presents a fresh new take on the Albino Farm, as the old legends I remember had more to do with ghosts and satanism, and less to do with cannibalistic mutants. The film is an exercise in the grotesque but avoids much of the cliché gore that is so common in the slasher genre. Unfortunately, the story suffers from underdevelopment, doesn't really delve much into who the mutants are or how they got there, although I did like the mystery touch they applied to the Revivalist mutants in the final scene (would they kill the girl, or accept her as repentant, would they show her mercy or mortal judgment?) There was also a lot of room for development in both Chris Jericho's character "Levi" and the character of the mute boy, which I wish they would have explored a little more. But hey, it's a slasher film, so what do you expect, Oscar-worthy writing?I watched this film with a magnifying glass (metaphorically speaking), eager to see just how many places and buildings I recognized from those old college jaunts, and it brought back tons of memories! I was pleasantly surprised to find some of it was actually filmed at the real Albino Farm. The round stone tower that the kids call the "watchtower" in the movie is probably the most iconic feature of the real Albino Farm. We used to climb that thing and hang out all night on top of the tower. The film never really shows the top of it very well, but it is topped with what look like castle battlements, leading some locals to believe the farm may have served as a strategic site during the Civil War, though I'm not familiar with any battles being fought at that location. Most of the other structures in the film are not actually found at the Albino Farm - there used to be two houses and one shack, as well as a barn, some chicken coops and the iconic tower, but the houses both burned down or were demolished decades ago. The last time I was there, probably fifteen or twenty years ago, the barn, the tower, the coops and the shack in the south woods still remained, while there were only foundations left of the main house and the shack at the north edge of the central field, which is just west of the tower. Today I'm not sure than anything but the tower still remains. I've been over every square inch of that place dozens of times, and I can state with nearly absolute certainty that there is no cave there. I believe the cave scene might have been filmed at Fantastic Caverns, a few miles northwest of the Albino Farm (which itself is actually right at the northern edge of Springfield, about half a mile due north of the Greenlawn Cemetery).Most of the ghost stories about the farm seem to refer back to that era, if they don't necessarily originate from that era. One old tale told that the farm was once used as a psychiatric institution that housed some albino patients, and that the farm got its name from that. That tale is probably closest to the theme in the movie, though the tale goes on to suggest that the farm is haunted by the spirits of the patients who died there. I don't think there's much historical support for that story, although it was quite fun to spread around back in the day! Another tale has it that there was an albino slave who killed himself by jumping from the top of the tower, and that it is his spirit that haunts the farm.Also common were stories of Satanism. There were numerous examples of satanic graffiti all over the walls of the now-demolished shack at the north edge of the field, and I personally once witnessed a ritually mutilated dog wrapped in a sleeping bag and partially burned in a fire circle in the same location after the shack had been torn down. But for the most part, I don't think there was any real satanism going on in earnest out there, I suspect it was mostly just kids trying to add to the reputation of the area. But whether it was kids being stupidly violent, or whether there was real occult activity, the real Albino Farm has long enjoyed a rich reputation for the paranormal, without even bringing mutants into the mix! Are all the ghost stories true? Who's to say?

After you have seen so many horrors and become some how addicted, you wouldn't mind watching a below average horror movie because you just wanna sit and watch something that's supposed to be horrifying. This movie has nothing new at all. It's everything else u've seen; Wrong Turn, House of Wax, the hills have eyes, the devil's ground, etc...There is no single element of surprise in the movie but it's still a horror movie that only has a new title and you are so addicted to horrors that you wouldn't mind watching.Gotta admit it though, that there is no horror scenes at all! There are some not good horror movies but which at least have one or two good scenes. Not this one though.

I have seen a fair few films, while many I have enjoyed I have also seen many terrible ones, most of these being horror films of an extremely poor quality. This film, 'Albino Farm' however is probably the worst I have ever seen.To start of with, you know when a horror film is terrible when you find the supposed 'scary' or 'gory' scenes humorous, unless the film is designed to be of this sort of entertainment, a 'parody' style film (Shaun of the Dead, one that most a familiar with). This however, was meant to be 'edge of your seats terror' yet to me all it appeared to me was not even that.In a nutshell, the plot goes along something like this: 1) Some jocks and some attractive girls get lost. 2) An unusual elderly man attempts to scare them. 3) Night falls, they happen to be in a forest, and things begin to 'gobump in the night'. 4) Deformed Texans attack them.I have just saved you watching around two hours of one of the most poorly made pieces of cinema ever made. If you want to see a good horror film/thriller I suggest you watch 'Silence of the Lambs'(1991), 'A Nightmare on Elm Street'(1984), 'The Birds' (1963) and 'Scream' (1996).

I must admit, I love hillbilly, mutant, backwoods, "kill all the outsiders because they're stupid and deserve it" genre fare. Love it. Love it from the bottom of my mud encrusted Christian Louboutin's to the top of my John Deer Tractor cap. From "The Hills Have Eyes" to "Deliverance" to "Wrong Turn", nothing better (or more American) than a bunch o' city slickers going' places they shouldn't, poking' their noses around and getting' said noses eaten off. It's the best. And "Albino Farm" is another worthy addition in to the white-trash, blood-splattered, inbred-killer horror film lexicon. From the beginning of the story, you are sucked in by wispy, almost dream-like shots circa the 1950's of 2 young boys on their bikes (baseball cards in spokes!)as they peddle through an All-American ma, pa, and apple pie town, turn the corner and head out deep into the neighboring woods. There, we get our first glimpse of the namesake "Albino Farm" and an effective horrific tease of its mysterious legend. Without giving away too much, the film then bounces to modern day where a group of university students, on a mid-term assignment exploring local legends and the roots of myths, are forced off the road by a roadkill-scraping dwarf obviously bent on bringing home some vittles to the kin-folk. A flat tire forces our heroes deeper off the beaten path where they encounter local after disturbingly creepy local – leading them deeper in to the mystery of the farm and finally to the farm itself. As you can see from the premise, there is some unique stuff, counterbalanced with the typical genre doing's we've seen time and time again. And while at times the pacing of the film could be tightened up and there are moments when you can see what's gonna happen next from a Wal-mart-Super-Center-mile-away, there are moments of fresh, exciting and truly invigorating horror to be had… can anyone say (SPOILER!!!), Grandma-church-lady breastfeeding a deformed baby??? Gross, yes! But also super-weird and ridiculously wonderful! While, for the most part, "Albino Farm" is low-budget fare, the effects (by IMP Creations) are realistic, the acting pretty darn good and the story enough to keep one engaged to the bitter (and shockingly surprising and non-clichéd!) end. Chris Jericho (of WWE wrestling fame) and Richard Christy (of the Howard Stern Show "let me put my private part on Sal the Stockbrokers face" fame) turn in inspired performances. But the main four college friends played by Sunkrish Bala, Tammin Sursok, Alicia Lagano and Nick Richey deserve the most credit. They take typical dialog, make it their own and actually make you care (and even like!) these characters. Oh, and Bianca Barnett, who played the oversexed but "careful if you shun me because hell hath no furry like a Pig-Bitch scorned", was hot, hot, HOT!! Makes this girl wanna give up on the non-mutated dating pool and switch to pork, the other white meat for' sure! Definitely fun for Halloween and while it isn't the best of all time, if nothing else, the girls are hot, the blood flows well and there's even a laugh or two in the right place. I give it a mutated, over-sized, deformed, unwashed, Stuckey's, hillbilly thumbs-up. Let's hope there's a sequel as I'm ready to go back in the farm anytime! Ewww-wee, squeal like a pig, girl!!!!!
