Little-people horrors have worked before — Don’t Look Now, Orphan — but this is toothless.

Guardian

For the first few minutes I thought it was a kids’ film, which gives you an inkling as to the general approach – right up until a teenager dropped the f-word.

Common Sense Media

Combining elements of horror, dark comedy, and satire, "There's Something in the Barn" has the potential to become a new holiday season cult classic.

Rated: 4/5

Dread Central

Depending on your particular penchant for Yuletide horror, Magnus Martens’ There’s Something in the Barn is a serviceable blend of horror and comedy that doesn’t do any favors for the elf community at large.

The Sun (UK)

More satire and less seasonal slaughter would have greatly improved the unbalanced pace of this holiday horror. But Henrietta Steenstrup as the deadpan Politi officer is a treat throughout.

Rated: 2/5

If you don’t mind your Christmas spirit curdled by murder and mayhem, there’s plenty here to put you in the festive mood...

There might be worse movies, but one doesn't come to mind off the top of my head.

A father (Martin Starr) moves his family to his ancestral farm in Norway. As the title says. Hidden Gem! It does have a slow beginning but stick with it for some fun horror and mayhem. The film has a lot of heart. "We're not America where everyone runs around shooting each other in the face!" If they father looks familiar, he's the science teacher in the MCU Spidey films.

Empieza la época de pelis temáticas de navidad y hoy toco esta. Rara, ni tan comedia ni tan terror. Una especie de Gremlins pero con elfos y en Noruega. Algún buen chiste, alguna escena de violencia explicita y no mucho mas. El final es malísimo pero con el tono alegre y navideño que uno puede esperar. Entretenida, para pasar el rato.

Uma tentativa de se fazer algo como Gremlim mas sem o mesmo charme e um roteiro muito fraco. Melhor atuação é a da criança. Temos uma boa fotografia. Um filme esquecível.
