Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

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

Michael Ledo Possible plot spoilers, probably not. A group of teens from Helen's Valley go off on Halloween night to Wheary Falls to collect candy and canned goods for love of my horror film life, Linnea Quigley. It has all the bells and whistles that an 80's homage slasher film should have: 1) Token black guy dies first 2) People who have sex die 3) token nude scene with body double 4) Linnea Quigley 5) Metal music 6) Virgin for final girl 7) ridiculous amount of blood 8) Everyone has a jean's jacket 9) great opening scene with a little girl getting a pickax to the head The problem with the production was the acting wasn't there. Mitchell Musolino couldn't carry the lead and the rest of the cast was flat. The writer didn't know what to do with Michelle (Lexi Dripps) and created a sub par character. She should have been key at the end and had lines that would place her there. The creation of characters was poorly done. I couldn't connect.Guide: F-word, sex, nudity

Brewgnar I really wanted to like this movie more... I've been eyeing this for sometime while it was being crowdfunded on indiegogo. Finally got a chance to watch and was very disappointed. Here are my issues. My biggest draw to the film was that it was hyped on being a perfect 80s throwback to the VHS era of slashers. They do an OK job with the music, but I wasn't convinced with the film actually taking place in the 80s. The actors just look like modern kids going to an 80s party and they picked out 80s clothes as best as they could from a thrift store. The film itself has cheesy 80s filters that do not not feel genuine. The practical effects were ehhh. Obviously done on an extremely low budget. Mix of practical and digital that reminds me of movies like Thankskilling. Appreciate the effort though.Acting was pretty flat and I didn't care for any of the characters. Again super low budget. Even has a cameo with Linnea Quigley who's a seasoned scream queen, but you would have guessed this was her first time on screen. The story, to be fair has some cool concepts, but gets drawn out way too long. I honestly think I would have been way more excepting of The Barn if it was just a quick short film or part of an anthology. The only reason I gave this 2 stars was for the movie artwork and merchandise they put out. The art is awesome and alludes to a well polished/stylized film. It is enough to make you want to watch it, but that's about where it ends unfortunately.To wrap... this is more than just low budget, it's DIY. Many of the other reviews seem like they are connected to the film and are obviously biased. If you are OK with DIY then you may be able to look past a lot of it's flaws, but be warned there are many.

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.

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.
