Plot
A couple, Sally (Lindsay Edgecomb) and Peter (Justin Gerardin) are hiding from someone who killed their friends believed to be after them. Suddenly, a huge figure decapitated Peter and Sally is then eviscerated, killing them both.
Days later, best mates Jason (Dean Kirkright) and Mick (Sam Coward) who is called donkey by his friends, plot a road trip to "Charlie's Farm" which was believed to be haunted because a family was killed there years ago. The two persuade Jason's girlfriend Natasha (Tara Reid), to call her best friend Melanie (Allira Jaques) to come with them. The two girls agree without knowing about their destination's tragic history. The four friends met and started to travel. The group then stopped at a bar to ask for directions to "Charlie's Farm". A pub patron (Jeff Watson), warns them not to continue resulting Mick to ensue in a fight with a pub scene (Brad Bromfield). Melanie and Natasha confront the two and Mick eventually tells them the story of Charlie's Farm:
Years ago, John Wilson (Bill Moseley) and his wife Meredith Wilson (Trudi Ross) were farmers and cannibals. When backpackers began to disappear on their farm, people found out about their doings. The townspeople killed John and Meredith but Charlie (Cameron Caulfield), their deformed son who witnessed his parents getting killed was never seen again.
Desperate to find the place, Jason calls their boxer friend Tony Stewart (Kane Hodder) for directions. Tony warns them to be careful at Charlie's Farm. The friends arrive at the "Charlie's Farm" entrance, they decided to walk for several more hours, leaving their ride behind until they come upon the house. Melanie finds a teddy bear (which was the possession of Charlie) and sleeps with it. Suddenly, Melanie sees a huge figure which was in fact the full grown Charlie (Nathan Jones) watching her and her friends as they sleep but she dismisses this as hallucination. Morning came and two backpackers, Gordon (David Beamish) and Alyssa (Genna Chanelle Hayes) arrive. They were supposed to meet other friends but could not find them anywhere. The four friends agreed to keep them company. Mick then suggests they should split in pairs to do some adventuring. So Mick and Melanie, Natasha and Jason, and Gordon and Alyssa parted ways. Gordon and Alyssa came upon a barn. Suddenly Gordon is killed when Charlie smashes his chest with an ax. Alyssa is caught and is killed when Charlie crushes her head with a tractor wheel. Mick and Melanie came upon a lake and they decided to swim. Suddenly, Melanie is frightened when she sees Charlie standing at the edge of the lake. Mick approaches him and concludes him to be just a pervert. Suddenly, Charlie cuts Mick's genitals and shoves it in his mouth and forcibly smashes his face, killing him. Melanie is chased through the woods but is killed when Charlie pulls out her lower jaw. Natasha and Jason find another barn. Jason insists they go inside but Natasha refuses. Tony, who was getting worried, goes to Charlie's Farm to check on them. Meanwhile, Jason who was taking so long inside, alarms Natasha who follows him in. Suddenly, Jason warns Natasha to be quiet as he saw Charlie roaming inside the barn. Tony arrives only to ensue on a fight with Charlie. Jason helps him but Tony is killed when Charlie tears out the skin on his neck. Jason is also killed when Charlie slits his throat in front of Natasha. Natasha runs away but was captured. She then wakes up inside a box and breaks free, only to be frightened by all the bodies of Charlie's victims. Suddenly, she sees the ladder leading to the exit and is helped by the pub patron from the bar. Suddenly, the pub patron is killed by an ax which was thrown by Charlie. Natasha grabs the pub patron's shotgun and shoots Charlie.
Natasha walks to the pub patron's truck only to see Charlie standing behind her. Charlie then stabs Natasha with the shotgun and pulls it through her body, killing her instantly. Charlie then carries Natasha's body back to his lair.
