The Norwegian holiday horror movie There’s Something in the Barn was given a theatrical release last month – but if you wanted to see the movie and weren’t able to catch it on the big screen, you’ll be glad to hear that it has already received a digital release this week! The movie is available to watch through Amazon at This Link. Coinciding with the digital release is the unveiling of a new trailer for the film, and you can check that out in the embed above.
Directed by Magnus Martens from a screenplay written by Aleksander Kirkwood Brown, There’s Something in the Barn is described as being “an ambitious artistic bridge between American classics and Norwegian mythology” that is like “Gremlins meets Home Alone meets National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation“. The story follows a typical American family who inherits a farm in the Norwegian mountains and crosses paths...

There’s Something In The Barn is a Norwegian/Finnish Christmas horror comedy. An American nuclear family moves to Norway after inheriting a farmhouse and a barn. Their plan is to turn the barn into a small hotel. The problem is that the barn is inhabited by a fjøsnisse, a barn elf.
After a short prologue the film kicks off with the Nordheim family - Bill the dad (Martin Starr), Carol the stepmom (Amrita Acharia), Nora the teenager (Zoe Winther-Hansen), and Lucas the kid (Townes Bunner) - travelling to their new home. During the car journey they see a road sign warming of elk ahead. They all get out of the car, stand in the middle of the road and start taking selfies with the sign. On spotting an elk calf they try to approach, but the bull elk takes great offence. This ignorance of place and lack of common sense plays out.

It’s October, so it’s time for two things: pumpkin spice on everything and the start of Christmas marketing. And just in time, the Norwegian holiday horror-comedy There’s Something in the Barn makes its world premiere at Fantastic Fest.
Bill inherits his uncle’s house in Norway after the man dies in a freak accident. We, of course, know it was no accident, and soon enough so will Bill, his wife and Bill’s kids Nora and Lucas (Townes Bunner) will too.
They relocate from California to Norway with plans to open a bed and breakfast, but complications ensue. Both in the obvious cultural differences and, more ominously, what Lucas discovers living in the barn.
It’s a nisse or barn elf. He’s a jolly little...

The Norwegian holiday horror movie There’s Something in the Barn is heading toward a November 10th theatrical release, and one month out from that date we’ve gotten our hands on a trailer for the film! You can check it out in the embed above.
Directed by Magnus Martens from a screenplay written by Aleksander Kirkwood Brown, There’s Something in the Barn is described as being “an ambitious artistic bridge between American classics and Norwegian mythology” that is like “Gremlins meets Home Alone meets National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation“. The story follows a typical American family who inherits a farm in the Norwegian mountains and crosses paths with a tricky creature from Nordic folklore, the Barn Elf. The family must avoid incurring the wrath of this gnome-like Santa by eschewing all bright lights and loud noises and making sure to leave a bowl of porridge on Christmas Eve.

It’s Christmas Time at Fantastic Fest! This year, the festival programmers seem to have gotten the holiday spirit a bit early, and there are a number of holiday horror films on the program. In addition to The Sacrifice Game, I have seen a handful of others that are not only enjoyable, but each have a unique take on the Yuletide Spirit.
The Uncle 5/5
Some films are to be savored. You walk in knowing little about the plot, outside of a simple premise. The lights go down, the movie starts, and you find yourself asking….”What the Hell is going on here?”
That’s the joy of The Uncle. It keeps you guessing. It drops information like breadcrumbs. Bit by bit, we gain more understanding of our characters and the strange situation they find themselves in.
At the beginning of the film, a family prepares for their Christmas celebration. The turkey is roasting,...

Christmas horror movies don’t come around too often, but every now and then we get gems like Black Christmas, Gremlins, Rare Exports and Krampus. Magnus Martens‘ evil elf horror comedy There’s Something in the Barn tries to hit that holiday horror comedy sweet spot that falls somewhere between Gremlins and Krampus, but misses the mark on both counts. It winds up being a forgettable, if mildly amusing, movie that doesn’t seem to know which audience it’s playing to.
After inheriting his uncle’s estate in Norway, Bill (Martin Starr), his second wife Carol (Amrita Acharia) and their children Lucas (Townes Bunner) and Nora (Zoe Winther-Hansen) move into their new home with the dream of turning the property into a bed and breakfast. The family adapts to their new Scandinavian lifestyle differently, with Bill and Carol trying to make the best of it, and the children feeling...

Christmas horror movies are something special. The best ones take a time that -- for many -- is peaceful and full of joy, then juxtapose the lights, the carols, the gatherings, and the parties with absolute carnage in a way that results in a fun time.
Within Christmas horror there's an even more specific subgenre of Christmas horror creature features, which play with specific Christmas beliefs and traditions and twist them into gory, violent monsters. Movies like Mike Dougherty's "Krampus" and Jalmari Helander's "Rare Exports" do this, and now, the pseudo spiritual trilogy is complete with Magnus Martens's "There's Something in the Barn." This family Christmas horror movie takes clear inspiration from "Gremlins" and '80s genre movies, and wraps it in a hilarious fish-out-of-water story of an American family moving to Norway. It's laced with smart jabs at both cultures, and features Martin Starr doing a great obliviously silly performance.

"The barn elf hates changes to the barn!" Oh sweet Christmas horror - this is like Gremlins meets Krampus! Charades & XYZ Films have unveiled a teaser trailer for an intriguing new Norwegian horror thriller in the works called There's Something in the Barn, from filmmaker Magnus Martens. It's set to open later this fall in Norway first, though other international dates haven't been set yet. An American family fulfills their dream of moving back after inheriting a remote cabin in the mountains of Norway. However, when they arrive they find there's an angry elf living in the barn. And he doesn't like to be disturbed. This sounds like another mad crazy fun follow-up to Christmas horror classics Jalmari Helander's Rare Exports and Mike Dougherty's Krampus. This stars Martin Starr, Amrita Acharia, Zoe Winter-Hansen, and Townes Bunner. There's only a quick sample of some footage in this teaser, the...
