Folks, this is it. This is the slasher film that horror fans have been waiting for. This is... THE BARN. Creator/director Justin M. Seaman and the rest of the crew at Pittsburgh-based Nevermore Production Films are looking to bring '80s horror back in a big way, and if the trailer is any indication, they're on track to succeed with flying colors. All the right pieces look to be in place. There's the cheesy epic trailer voiceover (from Honest Trailers' Jon Bailey), the grain of the video quality, the gore, the music, the practical monster effects, and to top it all off, a "coming soon to videocassette" tag on the end. The Barn just shot to the top of my must-see horror list.
Justin is in the final days of an Indiegogo campaign to pick up some extra post-production and marketing funds. If you take a look at the perks you can earn for donating, this guy could use all the help he can get. He's offering the usual posters, DVDs and social media shoutouts, but what sets The Barn apart and really cements that '80s vibe are the custom-made action figures, VHS tapes, and even NES cartridges for their own licensed video game! I mean, seriously!! The world needs this movie, and it needs this kind of fun tie-in marketing again.
I made a couple separate donations in order to get the DVD and this amazing poster for myself. I'm disappointed I won't have my hands on the film itself in time for Halloween this year, but I can tell that it's going to be worth any kind of wait in order to get this thing finished properly.
Help make The Barn the next indie horror smash by donating to the campaign and snagging some of this cool merch before time runs out: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-barn-feature-film-finishing-funds/x/11715575#/story
