Barbarian is a mystery horror thriller film that tells the story of a woman who has rented a haunted Airbnb that is not what it seems to be. The movie's direction and cinematography are impressive, as they use powerful commentary to push forward the violent punishment aspects of the film. Georgina Campbell and Bill Skarsgard deliver impactful performances, as the gender tensions comes out as authentic during the close encounters between the two. The film's themes of horror and mystery are present throughout the runtime of the film, offering a disturbing and in-your-face style of scare that excites a specific kind of audience. There are certain instances in the cinematography where unpredictability is favoured for stability. Overall, Barbarian is a refreshing horror film that is equally barbaric and comedically chilling. It keeps you hooked onto the end with its disturbing sequences and ugly characterisation. But it is a must watch for someone looking for something new in this genre.

Richard Brake shared a story on Instagram about attending a late night screening of the movie, noting that a particular group of teenagers sitting a few rows behind him were really into the film and were terrified. When it was over, they were leaving the theater, using the flashlights on their phones, when the light accidentally caught Brake's face, the teens recognized him from the movie, then screamed and ran from the room in genuine fear.
The script started out after Zach Cregger read the Gavin de Becker's book "The Gift of Fear," which encourages women to trust their intuition when confronted by obviously dangerous men. He used it as a writing exercise and began crafting a thirty-minute short that consisted entirely of a conversation in which a woman continues to ignore a mounting series of red flags. He liked it well enough that he knew he had the makings of a longer film and began conceptualizing a broader story for the characters.
Zach Cregger originally offered the role of AJ to Zac Efron. Efron turned it down, causing Cregger to rethink the role and offer it to Justin Long, who accepted.
The Hollywood Reporter exposé on AJ is written by Kim Masters, who is a real-life reporter at the trade publication. In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein cases, she became known for breaking stories about men in the film and TV industry who have been accused of sexual assault.
The film is set on 476 Barbary St. The year 476 was when the barbarians invaded Rome. Director Cregger insists this is unintentional and purely coincidental.
"Tess: Nope."
"Keith: Do I look like some kind of monster?"
