The Barn

Wow, who would have thought that The Walking Dead would revive Zombie movies and that there would be soooooo many.

Ok, that being said, The Barn brings fresh ideas. The movie is set in post pandemic Sugar Grove Va, on a farm. Things have quieted down and 10 years have past sine the pandemic subsided. There are 2 remaining detainment camps, both in Texas.

The virus effected people under 24 mostly. Sugar Grove is a small town and when new cases arise they are brought to the farm and into The Barn they go. To make matters worse, a serial killer is working the area as well. The concept is new and there is a multilayered storyline that keeps moving, not boring the viewer.

Ok, yes, some green acting, but overall not bad at all. Scene location, camera work both good, the music matches well. No out of focus shots and good sound mixing. The makeup was surprisingly good. There is a scene where a guy prys off one of his fingernails and it looks great, very well done.

I love a good low budget movie thats well done, as this is. It has enough, but not too much of anything. It avoids crossing into cheesy territory. Its better then many other movies i have seen lately.

I thought this movie was actually really good. The single setting of the rural farm created an atmosphere of familiarity , mixed with isolation and dread.. Some of its secrets are given up early, but this is intentional, as it creates questions , in the viewers mind, about who is, or who isn't, aware of what's going on. I thought Ken Samuels, as Gil, was fantastic as a troubled man dealing with his devotion to his community, while wrestling inner demons from his past. His relationships, with the people around him, were fairly compelling, and existed upon a fragile foundation of pain and a deep sense of loss. I recommend this movie. It isn't your typical horror movie, but I thought it was much better than some, more well known movies I have recently seen.

This has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

It's almost as if several people made their own segment without knowledge of the others and then they met over beers and mashed it together. The movie opening started with a news story about an epedemic. From there, they jumped to the real story. A lot of the movie focused on the front door of the barn and the owner banging the door with a stick or similar instrument. Within the barn were several individuals that just stood around I guess to invoke fear, but actually made me wish something would happen.

A main character tried to explain in a scene that the townspeople deserved his work in taking their kids and keeping them but wasn't really clear on how putting them in a barn and banging the door with a stick was beneficial.

Acting was terrible, plot was terrible, filming was amateurish, and, it was boring.

The only thing worse would be a sequel. (Although it would be tough to be worse than this one)

I accidentally watched this thinking it was The Barn from 2016. Amazon Prime has them mixed up on their Prime Video website. This movie was extremely bad, so please dont make the same mistake I did thinking its the other movie. This one is horrible.

Very strange film. Interesting concept... crappy acting... meh
