After inheriting a remote cabin in the Norway mountains, an American father of Norwegian roots fulfills his dream of returning to his country of origin with his family. However, this house keeps a dark secret: it is inhabited by an elf with a very bad temper who is not willing to let anything or anyone disturb his peace. Turning a deaf ear to a neighbor's recommendations to keep the elf calm, the family and the elf begin a violent fight to see who is the strongest. This Christmas ... you must respect your elf. Traditions die hard!. Nothing bad ever happens in Norway... Beware the Locals. All of Them. Break a Promise. Pay the price.
Norse mythology and Christmas traditions come together in this hilarious, hooligan and very bloody Christmas horror comedy. Disturbing, hilarious , enigmatic and disconcerting film about a family who flees the urban world to quiet Norway only to discover malevolent and murderous elves lurking in the gnarled, ancient wood and at the stable. Nominated for best film at the 2023 Sitges Festival. It stars Martin Stararr (Roger Harrington in the Marvel Universe) and Amrita (Irri in Game of Thrones, Zombies Nazis 2). Here dealing with an American family fulfills their dream of moving back after inheriting a remote cabin in the mountains of Norway, but, of course, things go wrong. The film is very uneven, it develops little by little, the first half is quite boring, barely anything happens. However, the second half perks up a bit, and things get better until a surprising and truly bizarre ending. The decently crafted redcap Elfs were not puppets, they are acted by real actors and stunt performers, no computer generator, all wearing gowns and practical make-up.
¨There's Something in the Barn¨ (2023) bears remarkable resemblance to the recent ¨Unwelcome¨ (2022) , in fact it sounds like a simple copy, both belonging to an almost prolific subgenre within horror dealing with small fantastic evil beings, such as dwarfs, goblins, fairies and others, who usually attack cruelly people, whose main representations is the saga 'Leprechaun' that goes on its seventh entry, ordinarily starred by Warwick Davis and perhaps its greatest exploiter results to be director Charles Band. The motion picture was regular but regular but professionally directed by Maagnus Martens. He's a Norwegian craftsman who has only directed two films: SAS: Red Notice (2021) and There's Something in the Barn (2023). But he has directed a number of episodes of popular TV series, such as: Banshee (2013), Fear of the Walking Dead (2015) Agents S. H. I. E. L. D. , The Walking Dead: World Beyond , Longmire, Will, Furia, Power , 12 Monkeys, Luke Cage, among others. Rating There's Something in the Barn(2023): 5.5/10, acceptable and passable. The flick will appeal the horor fans with hilarious touches.
