I can tell I'm going to love a movie within the first five minutes.i really cannot praise this film enough. This movie was amazing. It's got definite 80s horror vibes , it's clear that a lot of heart and soul and love for a dying genre went into making this. Wonderful feelings of nostalgia. It's shot wonderfully, it's creative, the characters are likable, the costumes and makeup are fantastic, amazing soundtrack , the acting is great in my opinion, I mean it's a throwback to 80s horror. Everything in this movie is perfect. It's cheesy over the top outlandish goofy gruesome and a general horror masterpiece. Definitely DEFINITELY worth a watch and then several more .
This is a pretty decent indie film. It was fun and ridiculous all behind the back drop of an 80's retro storyline (complete with a 80's glam band score.) I won't give any spoilers away but this is an enjoyable Halloween movie that doesn't take itself too seriously.
It's cheesetastic.
The kills are hilarious. The plot is pretty silly.
So basically a wonderful snowy Sunday afternoon " horror " flick.

THE BARN is a supernatural / neo-slasher horror film, done in a 1980s homage style. It's about a trio of killer spooks: a scarecrow, a miner, and a pumpkin headed ghoul, that haunt the titular structure, awaiting those who dare to trespass on Halloween Night. As luck would have it, a group of teens decide to enter the forbidden farm, resulting in grisly death.
While the story is pretty bare-bones, and the acting and dialogue are a bit clunky, this only adds to the overall charm. Is it a perfect masterpiece? No, but it is worth a watch on a crisp, Halloween evening.
Gorehounds will be in the stratosphere over the gushy practical effects! They really kick into high gear during the "Harvest Hootenanny" sequence, and continue from there.

- TriviaThe production was plagued with issues and eventually shut down halfway through filming. However, Director Justin M. Seaman convinced the entire cast and crew to come back and finish his lifelong dream project. Almost everyone came back and worked for free, even after some of the actors had moved to New York, because they all believed so strongly in the director's vision.
- GoofsThe movie has fake "cigarette burn" marks which were used on projected film to indicate when a film reel change was about to happen. However, the fake ones in this movie were placed AFTER the reel changes, making them meaningless.
