Escape from Cannibal Farm (2017)

I had seen the trailer for this one quite a while back and remember thinking, initially, that it was a gag until I did a quick Google search and found out otherwise. It seemed like Britain had gone and done their own remake of Hooper's "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" so I kept an eye out for it out of curiosity. Upon viewing this one, however... I determine that I have no idea what the fuck they were going for, here.

A family of six are on a camping trip in the British country when the mom is mysteriously set on fire in her tent and they happen upon a nearby farm for help. They're promptly attacked by a chainsaw lugging goon and his nutty father and locked up in kennels. Turns out - not surprisingly - that they are running a human meat market that is supported by the cannibal locals...

"Escape from Cannibal Farm" is an unbelievable train wreck of a movie that gets progressively worse and worse with each passing minute. The banality kicks in firmly with a 'twist' mid-way that makes no sense, considering what happened to a certain character earlier on during the initial encounter with the cannibal farmers. The Leatherface 'clone' - or as he's named here, The Boy with the Melted Face - who happens to be the best thing this movie has going for it though, ultimately, has VERY little screen-time... Which leaves us with his father whose acting is just fucking terrible! And, on top of that, he's given way too much overly dramatic dialog. The outcome of the movie is incredibly anticlimactic and convoluted - interjecting another over-actor and a pit of creatures that is as out-of-place as most everything else in this film. Aside from all the shit that doesn't make any sense (of which there is plenty more!) and horrible scene transitions (cutting from the campsite right to the family in the barn?...), this movie is just flat out boring. The majority is just people in cages and the gore level is notably low. Also, I've never seen anyone survive so long in a furnace...

"Escape from Cannibal Farm" actually started off with moderate promise - going with the family of victims, rather than young friends, ala. "The Hills Have Eyes" and going about fleshing the characters out rather well in the beginning - but promptly fell apart completely. It honestly comes close to being as big a disaster as "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation".
