With the 2023 movie "There's Something in the Barn" being a horror comedy that I hadn't already seen, much less even heard about, then of course I opted to sit down and watch it, as I happened to have the opportunity to do so. I didn't know what I was in for here, nor what to expect, so writers Aleksander Kirkwood Brown, Josh Epstein and Kyle Rideout had every opportunity to entertain and bedazzle me with this movie.
What a hilarious and enjoyable script and storyline from writers Aleksander Kirkwood Brown, Josh Epstein and Kyle Rideout. I have to say that I was totally caught off-guard here, because "There's Something in the Barn" was an amazingly enjoyable movie. And I have to say that it was without a doubt the best Christmas movie of 2023.
Sort of think a combination of "Gremlins" meets "Home Alone", and then you essentially have "There's Something in the Barn".
The acting performances in this Norwegian and American joint Christmas horror comedy was good, and they had a great cast ensemble to portray the various roles and character, be it human or elf alike. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble, neither Norwegian or American, but the actors and actresses put on good performances and brought the movie to life in a very enjoyable manner.
Visually, then "There's Something in the Barn" was good. Especially the elves (or "nisser", plural, as they are actually called); they were nicely done for the movie, as the designers kept the classic appearance of a "nisse", but managing to add a fiendish layer to the appearance, making them a truly scary thing indeed.
If you enjoy horror comedies, then "There's Something in the Barn" is a must watch. It was a nicely written story that proved very entertaining. I was tremendously entertained throughout the course of the 100 minutes that the movie ran for. And this is definitely, and without a doubt, a movie that I can and will warmly recommend. If you're looking for something to spruce up the Christmas days, then give "There's Something in the Barn" a chance.
I will say that "There's Something in the Barn" actually does have potential to become a reoccurring view for the Christmas holidays for me.
My rating of director Magnus Martens' 2023 horror comedy "There's Something in the Barn" lands on a seven out of ten stars. If you're only watching one Christmas movie this year, that isn't "National Lampoons Christmas Holiday", then make sure that it is "There's Something in the Barn".
