Screambox is throwing it back to the 1980s with their latest release Blood Barn, a retro-style slasher that aims to evoke the raw, low-budget chaos of 1980s slasher favorites.
Gabriel Bernini’s Blood Barn is now streaming exclusively on Screambox. The brand new slasher has already made its way to the #1 spot on Screambox’s streaming chart this week.
You can also rent Blood Barn ($4.99) on Digital outlets including Prime Video now.
The film embraces the grit and immediacy of low budget filmmaking, prioritizing practical creature effects and the handmade fun of classic cabin-in-the-woods splatter fests. The result is nostalgic and feral, a love letter to do-it-yourself horror and tape-trading cult cinema.
Set during the summer of 1985, Blood Barn follows Josie, a camp counselor who reunites her closest friends for one last weekend together at her family’s secluded barn before they head off to college. What begins as a nostalgic getaway quickly feels off when the group realizes the property has been neglected for years – carrying with it a history Josie would rather forget.
As the weekend unfolds, restless energy, bad decisions, and curiosity about the barn’s past stir something unnatural. Strange and violent events erupt without warning, turning the peaceful escape into chaos when a malevolent force awakens and begins to tear the group apart.
As the night spirals out of control, Josie is forced to confront the legacy surrounding the barn before it consumes everyone.
Campy horror-comedy throwback Blood Barn is written and directed by Gabriel Bernini, co-written by Alexandra Jade. The cast includes Chloe Cherry (“Euphoria”), Lena Redford, Bambina, Sam Lanier, Felipe Di Poi, Pierce Campion, and Simon Paris.
