Down On The Farm

About This Movie

So, 'Down On The Farm' is a collection of three short films that really captures some offbeat vibes. The first segment, 'The Comeon,' has this strange mix of daydreaming and desire, featuring Jeff Hunter and Chuck Burton, and it dives into the fantasies that play out in suburban settings. Then there's the titular 'Down On The Farm,' which flips expectations on their heads with some wild visuals and a twist on rural stereotypes. You get this playful energy that contrasts the city boy’s naive innocence against the backdrop of an exaggerated countryside. The pacing is uneven but somehow works; it has that raw edge that you just don't see in too many productions nowadays. Practical effects are minimal, but they serve the quirky atmosphere well, and the performances are surprisingly engaging for the material.

'Down On The Farm' is a bit of a rarity, not widely distributed but certainly holds a special place for collectors interested in niche 1980s short films. The film's format has seen limited releases, making it somewhat challenging to find in good condition. Its distinctive themes and offbeat storytelling have garnered a cult following, so it piques interest among those who appreciate the nuances of lesser-known works from that era.
