Reviews
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
msblackeyes68 Not a total waste of my time. I read the reviews (which I'm beginning to believe we're written by people associated with the movie) and I was skeptic because most horrors don't get this high of ratings. But I thought what the heck I will give it a go. It started and my first thought was it reminds me of a Canadian after school special. The monster costumes came from your local value village. The special effects consisted of smoke and coloured lights. I did get a kick out of the pumpkin killers costume. There was a lot of giggling during most of the movie. The main characters cracked us up as they took on sending the monsters (3) "back to hell" and save what was left of their friends and townspeople. The one liners and James Bond sounding script was hilarious. The one scene where the monsters attacked the dance and people were slashed and limbs torn off was very unrealistic but still amusing. All in all this movie wasn't that bad. It's not scary, doesn't have much of a plot, more silly then anything else but if you go into it not expecting any of that you'll see the movie like we did and have a good laugh. There's even a little twist at the end no one would predict was coming. Don't watch tho if your sense of humour is asleep and you really want to watch a well put together scary movie.
rabenson-81902 What an incredible movie. A throwback to horror movies gen I grew up. Blood, guts, and gore. The makeup effects were incredible for an independent horror movie. I can't wait to see what this movie companies next movie is. The movie made me feel like I was right back in the 80's which is what the movie company was trying to do. The monsters ion the film came off scary and believable, and one of the special features shows us where the concept for this title came from. Also having a few appearances from horror legends and scream queen made this title that more special. I do not want to give away a lot of this film, but it will become a Halloween tradition for me to watch. If only horror movies of today were like this title then horror fans would be in good shape. A horror movie needs to be rated R and a lot of today's titles are not and they are not horror. So if you get a chance to see this title do so.
timgrosspittsburgh The Barn (Vandergrift, Pa Drive-in Theater) – Sam and Josh are just two normal high school seniors enjoying their last Devil's Night and Halloween. Sam gets in trouble with his dad after Josh and he scare the sh*t out of Linnea Quigley's character. Now Sam has to collect food for their church on Halloween and then face being grounded. But it's Halloween and Sam refuses it to be shitty. So after seeing on TV about a band playing at a nearby town Sam and Josh come up with an idea to find a ride with friends to the concert and collect stuff in the small nearby town. When they arrive at the creepy small throwback community they find a barn. Is it 'The Barn' from a story that originated 30 years ago they have heard as kids that was haunted? They test the theory and just happen to awake three bad a** demons that want nothing more than blood and murder on Halloween night! Once 'The Barn' doors open and the demons arise, no one is safe as the creatures just begin to slash through the locals. We even get a "Yinzer" Crazy Ralph character that helps give the backstory of the demons. Now it's up to Sam and Josh to find a way to send the demons back to hell! 'The Barn' is a perfect mix of 80s horror classics with a new and exciting touch to it. We get scary (amazing looking) demons, gore, Linnea Quigley and Ari Lehman, and the right amount of 80s corny horror cheese that made those horror movies so much fun! This film is a perfect Halloween- time movie that belongs on all horror fans' watch list every Halloween… Literally watching the film I was saying to myself: I will watch this film every Halloween! It reminded me of such films: Neon Maniacs, Killer Party, Night of the Demons, Trick or Treat, horror classics that never get old. Kids, I give 'The Barn' 4 out of 4 stars and hands down one of the best horror films I have seen since I was a kid renting horror movies for Halloween.
catietomlin Watched this at Scares that Cares last night because my boyfriend wanted to see it. Full disclosure time :) my boyfriend loves horror movies and I tolerate watching them for him. I am SOOOOO glad he made me go see this movie! It was so much fun! He and I both enjoyed it for different reasons. He loved the monsters, the over the top kills, and the music. I loved it because it actually had a story and wasn't just some annoying kids getting slashed apart by a madman and these actor and actresses could actually act. It was refreshing to say the least. I can't wait to buy this when it comes out. If you can see this movie playing somewhere nearby I highly recommend you do.
