2009 Anxiety Island Entertainment
Four college students go on a history class research trip to the Ozark mountains. While there they learn from some locals of a legend dealing 
with a place called Albino Farm. Against repeated warnings they go to it and meet their fate.
Albino Farm is pretty much the atypical tourists go to a hick area, see deformed residents and then get hunted down type film. The plot is familiar because it has been done before in various movies such as Wrong Turn and 2,001 Maniacs to name just a few. I understand that this is an independent film, and with that being the case I will allow it some leeway. However, there are some technical issues and very predictable situations that hamper this film badly.
Joe Anderson and Sean McEwen wrote the screenplay and I am sorry to say that it really isn’t too original. There are already a lot of horror films which deal with tourists getting lost in hicksville and then getting chased and killed. In fact I have to say that at this point this type of horror film has jumped the shark as it were. It’s hard for me to feel sorry about what happens to a character when bad things occur when they are annoying jerks, and such is the case with Brian (Nick Richy). He is so unlikable, disrespectful and a general asshole that it’s quite easy to guess that something bad is going to happen to him. Hey, I’m not telling you anything that you wouldn’t guess in the first five minutes of the film. I guess you can say that he is a very stereotypically written character that appears in a lot of horror films these days. I think Stacey (Tammin Sursock) is probably the most sympathetic character and what happens to the end of the film is actually pretty cool. Finally, I would have liked to have learned more about the Albino Farm legend itself, because I don’t feel that they went dug into it enough.
This is directed by Joe Anderson and Sean McEwen and I have some problems with the way that it is filmed. There are many shots in which
they will have a person walk right in front of the camera while they are focusing on othercharacters, or they will have the camera linger too long upon something after the action involving it has already taken place. Then there are issues with what I call ’shaky cam’ syndrome. While some of the action is taking place the camera moves around a bit and it’s hard for me to see what is going on. There are also problems concerning the sound, because I personally could barely hear some parts of the film. Either the sound levels weren’t mixed right or it’s my copy of the film, I’m not too sure. However, I do like the filters they used during the day shots because it gives the countryside and the town a worndown look. One shot that I really enjoy is when they focus in on a dead victims eye until they enter the pupil and then cut to another scene. The effects in this are pretty good and I especially like the way that Pig Bitch (Bianca Barnett) and the other mutants look. Also, the whole sewn together arms scene is pretty darn gruesome and gross looking I must say!
The character I dislike the most, Brian, is played by Nick Richy very annoyingly, but I guess that’s how he is supposed to act. It seems like that he sometimes kind of plays him over the top so that really probably cements my dislike for the character that I have. The best actor in this is Tammin Sursock, but then again that may be because her character is more likeable than the others. Her character defintly goes through more than any of ther others, therfore she is totally changed at the end of the film. I think that this gives the actress more to work with throughout the 
whole movie. The other two main actors Sunkrish Bala, who plays Sanjay, and Alicia Lagano, who plays Melody, are both adequate enough and I really don’t have a problem with either of them. You may recognize Duane Whitaker who plays gas station attendant Jeremiah from other horror films such as Feast and Trailer Park of Terror. He’s pretty damn creepy in this that’s for sure!
Bloofer Lady thinks that the makers of Albino Farm need to practice their film making skills a tiny bit, but I feel that they have some talent underneath the surface. If you are into this genre of horror watch this, but if you aren’t there is no need to do so.
