The Barn
Before The Barn Part II streams exclusively on Screambox on May 26, catch up on the 2016 original. The Barn stands out among the glut of ’80s slasher throwbacks because it’s not satirical or a send-up; the unapologetic love letter approaches the well-trodden material with a refreshing earnestness. Capturing not only the style but also the spirit of his influences, writer-director Justin M. Seaman taps directly into horror fans’ nostalgia while introducing an imaginative mythology with ample heart in a charming package.

Review by Roger Carpenter
It was perhaps inevitable that the VHS boom of the 1980’s would eventually lead to full-length features skipping theatrical distribution and being produced directly for video distribution. I can clearly remember 1985’s Blood Cult, the very first film made on video and directly distributed to video. It was a terribly acted, extremely low-budget horror film, released unrated, with over-the-top gore effects. It proved popular enough for the same company to produce The Ripper, starring Tom Savini, both behind and in front of the camera. But even in the 1980’s, most films were actually being made on, well…film, even if the intent was a straight-to-video distribution deal such as Doom Asylum.
But, similar to the indie boom of the 1970’s when practically anyone with a camera, a few dollars, and a bit of ingenuity could create a low-budget film for distribution in big-city grindhouses and small-town drive-ins,...
