  "Freaky Farley is a sincere masterpiece of low budget eclecticism...I can’t wait to see what this crew does next."

  "What the movie has going for it...is the totally enthralling Scarlett, played by Sharon Scalzo. She's bold, beautiful, smart, funny, curious, and down to Earth. She's the kind of girl that every guy has a crush on, and Farley is no exception."

  "This sort of...storytelling and kitchen-sink attitude is always endearing to me...I can’t help but kind of love a movie with a line of dialogue like 'Children shouldn’t have to be frightened of mysterious deaths in the woods.'"

  "this is a finely-crafted film, with surprisingly strong acting, solid cinematography and a pretty sweeping story arc that keeps the viewer following along, wondering where the plot will zig-zag next."

  "Freaky Farley is about 10 times more entertaining and original than half the stuff I've been watching on HBO lately, so if you are a huge fan of low-budget horror films that are high on atmosphere and camp value, you will definitely get a kick out of this flick!"

  "Roxburgh and Farley clearly know and love their preferred genre and have managed to very effectively reflect everything that was fun about the original direct to video boom in a way that allows us all to enjoy it all over again."

  "I don't know how these guys did it, but Freaky Farley entertained me throughout and made me laugh on more than one occasion. It's bizarre without being contrived, self-deprecating without being self-indulgent, and imbued with a seriousness that says the filmmakers set out to make a real movie. In other words, this isn't the usual homebrewed low-budget crap that is passed off as comedy but is essentially 80 minutes of idiot kids doing things that only they think are funny."

  "For once, we have an indie horror flick that is shot on 16 mm film, as opposed to mini-DV. This lends the film a certain beauty that it wouldn't otherwise have. Secondly, the locations feel alive and haunting, especially the Morgantown woods. Thirdly, the script is haywire but always fun and surprising - you can't anticipate where the story is headed. I would also add that Matt Farley as Farley has devious, arched eyebrows that reminded me a little of Anthony Perkins. He keeps the story flowing from absurd to the prototypically strange."

  "Yes, it’s a cheesy, cheaply made no-budget wonder shot in just a few weeks with a cast of unknown, untrained actors… but that’s what makes it entertaining...The Super-16mm film stock gives the film very vibrant, grainy, fuzzy, authentic-70s-B-Movie-schlock feel: the leaves are green, the sunshine actually illuminates, and the fake blood looks really fake (in a good way, of course)!"

  "These guys have talent, passion and a wicked sense of nutty humour that has become almost required to make decent indie movies these days. Also of stellar note in the cast is Sharon Scalzo, who breezes through her first movie with talent and in an excellently likeable role. Her performance was one of the aspects that sold the movie for me. The facts that she gives solid delivery of her character and is quite beautiful all helped in creating a touching little love story for Scarlett and Farley."

  "Sharon Scalzo was excellent as Farley's friend Scarlett Carter, a rare character with whom it would be easy for any viewer to fall in love. I would see another movie with her based solely on the fact that she was in it."
