Splatter Farm (1987)


Having mentioned the Polonia brothers a few times on this blog, I felt I had to review their "masterpiece," which they shot on video as teenagers. They have not improved. The best thing about this film is the tag-line on some copies: Old McDonald had a farm, EIEI...Ouch! Twin boys (writers/directors/producers/editors if there was any editing, the Polonias) visit the farm of an old woman who has a henchman that likes to kill people and store their parts in the barn so he can use them for sex. There's masturbation with a severed arm and fellatio with a severed head. There's incest, necrophilia, gay rape with anal fisting, cannibalism, animal cruelty, torture, coprophagia and whatever other distasteful things they could think of. If there were any competence, this would be hard to stomach, but it's so terribly done that there's no real shock. You can see the crew throwing blood, actors deliver lines without emotion or looking in any particular direction, there's a typical synthesizer drone score and there's a lot of footage of people wandering aimlessly for a 70 minute film. There's a twist ending that came as no surprise. People who like SOV films from the 80's with the word "Splatter" in the title get exactly what they expect.
