nosebone – ★★★☆☆ “Poor man’s Rolling Thunder.”
-
Jon Peters – ★★★½☆☆ “Mistakes are made when you make fun of Shirley Temple. The long-lost, or maybe more specifically, buried THE FARMER (1977) is infamous for its mystique as a revengeful exploitation film that never saw a TV run, VHS, Laserdisc, or DVD, something that only added to that said mystique for cult film fans.”

MitchWearsPlaid – ★★★½☆☆ “It’s funny how things play out sometimes.”

“Interesting and bold with some great performances and some terrible performances. If the self indulgence was used after having a bit more understanding of the medium it could have been better which I would like to say was intentionally looked over.”
