I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Stars : Linnea Quigley (ROTLD) and Ari Lehman (Friday the 13th).This film is really quite good from Terror Films distribution.Need to find out more of The Hucklebucks and their music.There is more than one villian, Take that Jason, Freddy and Micheal !We have The Candy Corn Scarecrow, Halloween Jack AND The Boogeyman.Lots of scares,Gore and even a few naughty bits.The script just flows and characters are well rounded with issues and make you believe their plight is so scary.The makeup is gruesome done on townsfolk and the 3 monsters are very cool in their latex skin.

If you're looking for a great movie that succeeds with trying to achieve an 80's feel, check out The Final Girls. The Barn had some great critics reviews but the acting was beyond horrible, it had none of the awesome 80's cheesy humor, and was it was boring. The gore wasn't too badly done but it was pretty basic.

The Barn is the perfect love note to 80's horror films. It screams cheese and delivers on all points. The acting, clothing, music, monsters, atmosphere... everything is perfect. I absolutely love Halloween centered Horror movies and this is now one of my favorites ever. I'm sure I'll definitely be watching it more than once a year, however, it will be a new tradition for me to watch it on Halloween on a dark October night. I also have to mention that the merchandise is killer! Something that every fan will want. I bought some at www.thebarnmerch.com if anyone is interested!Don't wait and buy your copy as soon as possible. You won't be disappointed.Tori Danielle

Judging by the recent plenitude of (horror) movies - and even entire TV-series - that are either taking place during OR unmistakably paying tribute to the 1980s, I think it's safe to say that a whole new generation of filmmakers suffer from "homesickness" (by lack of a better term) towards the decade in which it was so much easier and more fun to produce and watch horror movies! There's noticeably an immense longing for the good old times when stereotypical characters and clichéd plot lines weren't world-widely criticized on the Internet before the movie got properly released (what Internet?), when dumb teenage protagonists were still getting into physical trouble rather than belittling each other via social media, and when horror victims were still being massacred by killers & monsters with hideous make- up effects rather than by digitalized computer creations. "The Barn" obviously also belongs in this trend and, although not as popular or hyped as "Stranger Things" or "The Final Girls", it's definitely worth checking out for fans of old-school splatter as well as amateurish yet enthusiast low-budget film making. It's almost Halloween in the year 1989, and the 19-year-old but still very immature buddies Sam and Josh are petrifying the neighborhood children and annoying their teacher (cameo of none other than Linnea Quigley). The next day, on their way to a Halloween concert with a few more friends, they stop at a godforsaken barn where according to an ancient local legend three sinister Halloween monsters lie buried. Against the will of firm legend-believer Sam, the group knocks at the door and thus awakens the Boogeyman miner, Hallowed Jack-o-Lantern and Candycorn Scarecrow. The monsters promptly go on a killing spree in the nearby town Helen's Valley, with as gory highlight the extermination of nearly the entire village during the annual Halloween dance. Writer/director Justin Seaman has a lot of heart for the genre and many bright ideas, and therefore you also gladly forgive the lack of style and the many directorial defaults. There are too many overlong dialogues, redundant sequences and questionable performances, but it doesn't matter all that much because this is a full-blooded Halloween feature and highly recommended for the fans. Too many gore-highlights to choose from, including decapitations, eye- gouging, pickax in the head, etc… There's also a good soundtrack and – like it was the case in the 80s - even a bit of totally gratuitous nudity.
