This is one of the worst movies I've seen all year. And that's not an easy thing to say because I've seen a lot about movies this year. But this one just might be one of the worst. First off whoever wrote this should go back to school. This is extremely poorly written. I think this is supposed to be a comedy? I never laughed one time. I think I've seen the dad in a comedy movie before though? Well he was the dumbest one in this movie, and the unfunniest by far. The horror in it is bad but I'm still giving it two stars instead of one because I do like horror movies and this did have a few good scenes, I guess. 2/10 One of the worst this year.

I wasn't expecting much from this movie and went into it with very low expectations, especially seeing some quite negative reviews on here . But it's just great ! It's not perfect , but it's a ton of fun and very funny in places . It's very Christmassy , music , settings and overall look screams Christmas. The biggest negative is the film takes a little too long to get going . They could have chopped a good 15mins out of the first 40mins which would solve the pacing issues . But be patient and stick with it , because it's an absolute blast . Perfect for adults and young teens, just enough gore and swears to satisfy and enough laughs to keep you grinning from ear to ear . If you like Santas Slay , Christmas Horror Story , Krampus etc you'll love this too .

Culture clash, the superficial American meets the eccentric Norwegian. Clichés? The driving force behind this film. Definitely acceptable visually, quite interesting at first glance in terms of content, rather difficult to digest in terms of realisation. The portrayal of the guests from the USA could almost be described as xenophobic, do the Norwegians have a grudge? The word for this character portrayal is stupid, but that also describes the film. I would also add that the film has no climax, is predictable and quickly forgettable. For all those who were hoping for a new Christmas classic ala Krampus or Rare Exports: forget it!

When a new age, nuclear, family pull up their American roots to relocate to Norway- after inheriting a "devil house" from the man's extended family- they try to fit in...but things don't exactly go as planned. Because there is something living in their barn. Their adolescent son quickly figures out what it is...and makes friends with it. But no one believes him. So when he tries to teach them the rules (on how not to piss it off). They don't listen...and break every one of them. However, it is one act that pushes things over the edge... Thus turning this festive comedy into a complete horror show. Albeit one made for children. Is it the most innovative Christmas horror film ever? No. Is it the most gory Christmas horror film alltime? Surely not. Hell...it's not even the scariest Christmas horror film to come out of Norway. But it's great fun! With a decent amount of gore. And a whole lot of laughs. Though, not so much to make it unfit for kids. So, if you are the type of family to watch an annual Christmas horror...and you got some kids you want to scare the "niceness" into. This film is a great choice. Norway definitely knows how to do it. Except in the case of lutefisk. Everyone hates that crap. 6 out of 10.

I love horror movies and ever since Dead Snow and Troll Hunter I also really enjoy Scandinavian horror movies with a snowy setting, so I thought I'd give this a try. I had no idea what this movie was about and I was pleasantly surprised when I found out who or what the antagonists are. Minor spoiler but this movie really reminded me of a British movie from last year called Unwelcome. The premise is really similar except that this one place in the snow during Christmas time. We have an American family that moves to Norway and has to deal with some sort of fish-out-of-the-water situation because they have cultural differences from the locals and while the parents are trying to fit in, the moody daughter just wants to go back and her little brother finds something mysterious in the barn. Basically we have a pretty stereotypical family situation and some also stereotypical side character's, especially the towns Sheriff who was the main comedic relief which sometimes worked and sometimes not so much. This is a lighthearted comedy with some horror aspects and some gnarly kills and I overall enjoyed the watching experience. This might not be some Christmas classic like Gremlins but it could still be an annual watch for me during the Christmas time. [5,9/10]

Blending horror and comedy is never easy task to do. You either get a great movie or a total excuse for a movie. There is something in the barn is something between. It's got a very funny moments and some good action. As a European I just loved "this is not America" joke's. But something is missing I think a little more blood and gore would make this movie a so much better picture. Some killings just missing those bloody parts and a little bit of creativity. Also I got a problem with the actor who was playing father figure. He was really annoying and not in the funny way. Most of the time he looked like a stoned dad with no love for his children. Anyway a good movie if you love that mix of horror and comedy, not for everybody.
