The Barn: Part II, The Gore and Demons are Back

After "The Barn," there were many unanswered questions.  Even though most people on the screen died horribly, there was still the fate of the virgin Michelle (Lexi Dripps) left up in the air. Was she eaten?  Was she de-virginized?  Was she pulled into the realm of the demons?  Also, what of the two landscaping hunks, Sam (Mitchell Musolino) and Josh (Will Stout)?  It looked like they were about to be heroes when they were presumably sucked into hell. Good news!  In the sequel, a sorority filled with babes will open the haunted house in the barn three years later.  Our feature today is 2022's "The Barn: Part II," directed by Justin Seaman.  This one is set in 1992.

Despite the horror she endured when her BF was sucked into hell and had some demon awake in her van, Michelle is now in college and volunteers to help her sorority do an open house for Halloween.  She will take the lead with Josh' babe sister Heather (Sable Griedel). Why? Never mind.  The two babes and the entire sorority work the barn, the same one from the last movie. Yep, out of the well in the back, demons are conjured and will end up murdering all the sorority babes in gory fashion and turning them into demons.  Nudity, BDSM, kinky pillow fighting, and other deviance are what the sisters were doing just before being ripped apart or disemboweled.  Now Heather and Michelle are the only sisters left, and Michelle has a new BF, Charlie (Chad Bruns), the nerd at the video store.  He will fight the demons with his crutches.

Now Michelle is overmatched, but also out of the well, Josh and Sam emerge.  Yep, Josh has the holy weed killer.  With these two experienced demon hunters, the two sorority babes at least stand a chance. The demons are back in full force and have made the entire town into demons, too. May I say that Heather and Michelle look terrific in their Halloween costumes? Okay, I should also say many terrific cameos occur in this sequel, including Lloyd Kaufman as the mayor, Linnea Quigley as the church lady, Joe Bob Briggs and Diana Prince,  and Ari Lehman. The pumpkin, miner, and scarecrow demons are back to inflict death with pick-axes, sickles, and a wonderful assortment of bladed weapons.  Most of this film will be an all out bloody war.

Packed with gore, guts, and severed limbs and heads, this film is a must see for fans of the first "Barn" film.  It is also a great homage to late 80s, early 90s slasher fare.  With a sultry cast of sorority babes, most will die horribly, a few hunks, and some neat 1980s and 1990s slasher talent, "The Barn: Part II" is a terrific view on a Friday night in October.
