The Barn

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.

I'm 51 years old and I honestly don't think I've ever watched a worse movie. I'm speechless about how bad it was.

Man traumatized by his mother's murder when he was a teen, and then by serving in the military, lives with his disturbed mute brother while feeding four zombie young adults and while a serial killer goes on a killing spree. Oh and there's a love story too, and a nosy reporter, and a shady deputy sheriff who has some history with the man and his family.

If you're like me, you'll read this review and watch it anyway.

All I can say is Don't.

Just take my word. It's not worth the time.

It sucks. DONT EVER WATCH THIS MOVIE. It's retarted. Don't waste your time.

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 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.
