The Barn (2016)

Starring: Mitchell Musolino, Will Stout, Lexi Dropps, Linnea Quigley, Ari Lehman
Director: Justin M. Seaman

Premise:
A group of teens take a detour on the way to a concert. They find an abandoned barn and accidentally awaken an evil legend.

My Take:
A movie made to look like a throwback horror from the 80's that surprisingly hit the right marks in tone, gore, and comedy. It's not without its holes in the story but overall a fun 90 minutes.

The Visitor (1980)

Starring: John Huston, Lance Henriksen, Joanne Nail, Shelly Winters, Glenn Ford, Mel Ferrer, Sam Peckinpah, Jess Franco
Director: Giulio Paradisi

Premise:
A little girl is the key to an intergalactic war. While one side wants to take her for the destruction of Earth, another side wants to harness the evil and save the planet.

My Take:
The movie is a whacked out trip. I am still not exactly sure what to make of it. I have to give points for creativity and a solid, veteran cast. But it also makes no damn good sense at all and lacks explanation for such an ambitious premise.No doubt this is a unique movie.
