This movie kills children!

And it's awesome!!

Personally, I think more kids should be brutally killed by crazed psycho demon killers. So, if you like that sort of horror you will like this. There is, of course, some very bad acting and other hallmarks of B horror, but there are also a slew of horror scene people in this too.

I cannot stress enough that this movie requires you to like horror as your favorite genre and enjoy watching B horror movies for fun if you are to enjoy this or the first Barn movie.

As far as horror movie sequels go, there are absolutely more nonsensical horror movie sequels out there.

While I can't claim that the 2016 movie "The Barn" was a movie that overly impressed or entertained me, then I still opted to sit down and watch the 2022 sequel "The Barn Part II", on the off chance that this movie might be a step in the right direction.

I can't say that I harbored much of any high hopes for this movie from writer and director Justin M. Seaman, as it had the likes of Lloyd Kaufman, John Bloom and Ari Lehman on the cast list. But I figured, I would still give it a chance, when it also had Doug Bradley and Jason Brooks on the cast list.

While the "The Barn Part II" was definitely a step up from the 2016 predecessor, then it was by no means a grand horror experience. The storyline was pretty vague, if not actually downright weak. It felt erratic and as if there was no real continuation to a scene once someone had been killed.

Visually, then "The Barn Part II" was a step up from the predecessor as well. There were some fair enough effects in the movie, though you will not be bedazzled or blown away.

"The Barn Part II" is a movie that is semi-suitable for a single viewing, but that is about it.

My rating of "The Barn Part II" lands on a four out of ten stars.

I've never see the original,. So I don't have anything with which to compare this. You get enough of the backstory to know what's going on, though, so you can watch this as a standalone flick and still be good.

This isn't winning any awards, but in current year, that's a positive. No agenda. No message. Just plain, good, clean fun. Well, not clean - there's a bit of nudity thrown in - so still fun :)

Everybody looks way too old to be in college, but for the most part, they're decent enough actresses. The plot is about what you would expect from a B movie, and there is the required amount of "wrongness." One such example is when the pumpkin head guy - who has a flame going in his head - gets lighter fluid squirted on him and, predictably, it ignites. Later, though, that same guy gets sprayed with some flammable liquid and yet, even though he's still flaming, now the script requires a lighter to be thrown at him to get the liquid ignited. ¯\_(* *)_/¯

Anyway, it's a fun movie that you can watch without having to endure preaching or browbeating. Pop some popcorn, turn down the lights, sit back and just enjoy.
