Pitchfork (2016)

Hunter is heading back to the farm after coming out to his family, and brings his brightly colored heterosexual friends with him. It’s a small town farm community so it’s not the most progressive.  

When he says it’s going to be rough dealing with his dad, one of his female friends chimes in, “Rough? I guess you haven’t had Ms. Adams class and her stupid improv exercises.”  Yes, because improv is so much more difficult than coming out to your dad who has stereotypical small town ideas about what it means to be a man.

The first night home, Hunter throws a huge party in the barn and the place is packed.  There’s lights, music and pizza. I hope it’s not the same pizza they were carrying around while they were setting up the barn in the afternoon.  

But what they don’t know is there’s a weirdo on the loose with an animal skin strapped to his face and a pitchfork barb wired to his arm.  Where did he come from? Why is he killing people? Who put a pitchfork on his arm and why?  That pitchfork arm is going to make it hard to get dressed, eat, or bathe. The movie devolves from slasher to torture and you will be totally unsatisfied at the end.


Ridiculous dialogue:

Operator: 911 what’s your emergency?
Hunter (sounding totally disinterested): I’m not sure but I think something bad has happened to my family.

The scarecrows are so creepy. It’s like a cult or something.

Claire: Guys! Guys! We need to go right now please. Guys we have to go please right now.
Matt: Jesus Christ Claire, what the fuck is…
Claire: Matt, no no no, there’s blood everywhere in that house, on the floor, on the wall.
Gordon: Wait, wait, wait. Calm down, what do you mean blood?
Lennox: That’s a really mature way to get both of their attention. Really.

Lennox: Wait, you can’t just leave me like that!
Claire: What do you think, you just fucked my boyfriend.
Lennox: So just like that you’re going to throw our friendship out the window.
Local pizzeria? These pizza boxes are in multiple scenes
Are his abs drawn on?
Girl on the left is doing a runway walk, which is really odd
considering they just escaped a killer.
Our cast of mostly unlikeable characters looking like
some lame ass Justice League.
