Smart, darkly humorous, and above all scary, Barbarian offers a chilling and consistently unpredictable thrill ride for horror fans.

Audience Says

The less you know going into Barbarian, the better -- but be prepared for an ending that might rub you the wrong way.

At its best it is inventive and unpredictable, with a nervy visual style that takes note of the lurking evil beneath the banality of its domestic space.

Rated: 3/5

Like the best horrors, it's 'about' stuff -- gentrification, abuse, toxic masculinity, taking responsibility. There's also plenty of jump scares.

Rated: 4/5

BuzzFeed News

Barbarian is a timely depiction of youth anxiety toward a territorial older class and an older generation’s disdain for an entitled, aimless youth.

Its uneven pacing and brief moments of absurdity can undercut the overall tone and message. However, you’ll find excellent performances, outstanding makeup work, and an eerie sound design. Barbarian is a meticulous and utterly terrifying horror movie.

It was horrible. I don’t understand how people are raving about this movie. It’s not scary and the ending was the worst
