<blockquote><i>“Let’s make some pumpkin pie!”</i></blockquote>
For a film that takes place in 1989 but was made in 2016, <i>The Barn</i> was great. It feels like a cheesy 80s film with mediocre acting and dialog, which is typical for films from that era, but the kills were fast and bloody.The demons were great, too. Plus, we even get a legit backstory for each, which added fuel to this already fun film.
Now, it’s time for <i>The Barn II</i>!
