🎄 There’s Something in the Barn (2023) – Cult Christmas Carnage
Directed by: Magnus Martens
Starring: Martin Starr, Amrita Acharia, Kiran Shah
Summary:
An American family inherits a cabin in Norway and breaks sacred barn rules—unleashing wrathful barn elves. Chaos ensues in a mix of Gremlins-style violence and absurd Norwegian satire.
What Worked:
It’s hilarious and feels like a holiday cult classic in the making. The elves are murderous Christmas gnomes. The tone is zany but committed.
The Oslo Accord Gag:
Funny at first, but it overstays its welcome. Political references get repeated to the point of exhaustion.
Casting Call-Out:
Why does the daughter look older than the new wife? It’s a jarring detail that makes the family dynamic a bit weird.
Final Take:
A messy, merry, violent ride. Perfect for those who want holiday movies with a mean streak.
