Both torture-porn AND a morality tale (killing is BAD!) (yep, that’s the message) this film becomes downright silly (complete with glowing demon eyes and a heavy-handed lesson) and throws away an intriguing premise. Rife with hilarious dialogue (on approaching a farmhouse after a car accident a young couple has this exchange: Him: I hope someone’s home. Her: Yeah, me too.) and acting replete with serious, slow delivery, this film can only be described as a complete time-waster.
Rating: 2 / 5
It took about 5-10 minute before I started getting into the movie. I almost shut it off. BUT, this movie was good. Not scary, but had some gross parts, nothing like Hostel. The ending was good. I just wished the torture lasted longer and was more severe. Karma, aint it a beach. Enjoy.
Rating: 5 / 5
I rented this via Red Box. Thankfully I did not buy this. This is one low budget poorly acted, directed and written lump. It has no plot and was a quilt of cobbled together scenes. Don’t waste your time or money.
Rating: 1 / 5
I don’t want to ruin the movie for anyone but I would have never guessed were they were going with the plot. I think it was a great movie all in all

When I watch a movie that’s gone straight to DVD, I’m prepared for the worst. Yet, when I started watching, “Farm House,” i forgot my pile of magazines and books that I usually plow through while watching a straight-to-DVD movie.
Farm House gradually grabbed me and I couldn’t stop watching until the end. The story and especially the performances were all A plus, thanks to the brilliant direction of George Bessudo. I won’t give away the truly surprising ending that proves to be a shocker, sufficie it to say you’ll be amply rewarded.
There was one actor who was so electrifying that I want to start a fan club for him. William Lee Scott portray the tragic young husband and although very masculine, his character is so fragile and sad that I nearly cried everytime he did. His little boy’s face was so poignant and doomed that it was totally spellbinding.
Just watch William Lee Scott and tell me that you agree. Where has this great young actor been all my life? I am now one of his most faithful fans.
George Bessudo proves with “Farm House” that you don’t need a multi-million dollar budget and state-of-the-art special effects to capture the attention of the viewer. I had just waded through the $70 million atrocious remake of “Friday the Thirteenth” and was appalled. With the low-budget “Farm House,” I was thrilled.
