Programmer's Pick

Splatter Farm doesn’t just splash in the shallow end of the cult horror pool—it dives headlong into rural depravity. Where else will you find a necrophiliac aunt and a farmhand with a taste for dismemberment sharing screen time with unsuspecting twins? This is hixploitation at its most audacious.

Overview

Splatter Farm sets its scene in rural isolation as twin brothers Alan and Joseph are sent to spend the summer at their Aunt Lacey’s dilapidated farmhouse. Beneath the surface of familial hospitality lies a disturbing undercurrent—Aunt Lacey keeps the body of her deceased husband in the house due to her necrophilic obsession, and her seemingly quiet farmhand, Jeremy, is engaged in a grisly spree of dismembering townsfolk, storing their body parts in the barn for later use. The film’s premise revolves around the grotesque secrets lurking behind the barn doors and the tension that escalates as the twins remain unaware of the true horrors surrounding them. It's a slice of hixploitation horror that leans hard into rural grotesquerie and taboo.
