Plot:
Three years after having survived the events of the first film, Michelle (Lexi Dripps) is now in college. However, she is still plagued with the questions of what truly happened after what she believes was only a ritualistic attack that killed all her friends.
With the ban on Halloween lifted in her hometown, the sorority girls of Gamma Tau Psi place Michelle and her best friend Heather (Sable Griedel) in charge of the annual haunted house. Unfortunately for Michelle, some uninvited trick-or-treaters from her past come knocking…
Reviews:
“Director and writer Justin M. Seaman has created a movie that lives up to 90s DTV horror and can also stand on its own. I had an absolute blast watching this movie […] It’s filled with goofy monsters — including two new ones — as well as inventive kills and all kinds of gore.” B&S About Movies
“Speaking of blood, you will get plenty of it with The Barn Part II, with the practical effects and the kills really fantastic and making a mockery of the limited budget they were conceived on. The Barn Part II is a worthy sequel that ups the stakes and also leaves room for a third part if the crew are willing to make it happen.” Bloody Flicks
” …considerably more gleefully sadistic than its predecessor. There’s also significantly more nudity, an element combined on occasion with the gore. The sequel definitely does a better job of integrating its celebrity cameos, including Doug Bradley (who makes a comment about “raising hell”, sad to say), Lloyd Kaufman, and a delightful scene with Joe-Bob Briggs, as the owner of the local drive-in naturally. But I think top marks go to Linnea Quigley…” Rating: B, Film Blitz
“If you’re a fan of the first Barn, the Barn Part II is a slight improvement in almost every aspect. Fun throwback horror…” Hub Pages
“With big epic moments and direct connections to the original, The Barn Part II is a satisfying, gory romp that left me hungry for more. Hellraiser’s Doug Bradley and horror double feature legend Joe Bob Briggs are both in on the fun as well, with the former playing an exposition-dumping old man that explains away the origins of our villains, while the latter runs a drive-in theater.” 3,5 out of 5, Josh at the Movies
“This isn’t winning any awards, but in the 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…” Rebeltaz
“Won’t win anyone over with its story, as the plot is a flimsy means to continue the original’s slim ideas, but this does hone in on two necessary Z-grade components: blood and nudity. Amid the copious amounts of gore are goofy shenanigans among genre vets and hopeful newcomers.” 2.5 out of 4, Splatter Critic
” …I was less than thrilled with the form the creatures take for the final showdown, it’s more silly than scary. But there’s way too much going on for that to ruin it, and that’s true of the whole film. The Barn Part II not only matches the original it exceeds it […]It’s got beasts, blood, and boobs in abundance, Joe Bob would say check it out even if he wasn’t in it.” 4.5 out of 5, Voices from the Balcony
“With performances from Doug Bradley (Pinhead from the Hellraiser franchise), Troma Entertainment mastermind Lloyd Kaufman, Joe Bob Briggs, and the like, The Barn Part II is obviously happy to press the nostalgia buttons for many viewers. Seaman obviously knows his VHS-era fear fare, and he once again pays loving tribute to it. This is the type of horror movie you’ll want to invite friends over for — and you’ll all have a blast watching.” When It Was Cool
