Good movie, i just don’t understand that they all just enter that room. I would have called the police and burned the place :joy:

Maybe, because it is a poor neighborhood, the police don't give a shit about any of the residents there?!!

**Barbarian (2022) _7.2/10_** _(Good)_
___

An unnerving thriller with twists and turns you won't see coming. “Barbarian” stands out thanks to its stellar performances, gorgeous visuals, and surprisingly effective dashes of humour. To sum up the film, I'd say it has a great first-half, a middling middle, and a little underwhelming conclusion. In the end, I couldn't shake the feeling that the film's latter half doesn't match up to the promise of its first thirty minutes. In most cases, this would make for a subpar experience, but for “Barbarian,” the strengths' mostly make up for its shortcomings.

Enjoyable and worth checking out at least once, but the film is ultimately let down by a couple of flaws that prevent it from being genuinely outstanding.

Creepy, chilling, scary, gory and frightening. All the ingredients required for a good horror. Would love to see a prequel to this story. 8.5/10.

@the_argentinian Prequels aren't always bad. Look at Pearl, the prequel to X. It's actually the superior movie.

Justin Long using the rape dungeon as an opportunity to boost his listing square footage is the most realistic portrayal of an AirBnB host I’ve ever seen.

Only seeing the trailer, I didn’t really know what the film was going to entail. I really enjoyed the first 2 acts, but the final act didn’t blow me away. There was some good camera work, a touch of humor, and some creepy atmosphere. Overall, a good film although I won’t be rushing out for repeat viewing anytime soon.

An extremely confident, very purposefully plotted gem of a horror flick. Great scares, great performances.

Go watch the movie. I highly recommend it. And that's it. Go into this as blindly as possible. You should know absolutely nothing about the film. The things you should know are the title and where you can watch this.

However, if I have to say something about it, I must say, despite liking it and how much the movie keeps you in the dark, wondering what's going on, I have a feeling on a second watch, it will lose its appeal. Because once you know all its secrets, the less enjoyable it is, and you're patiently waiting for it to get to the point.

Like air conditioning in hell, it's a refreshing breath of fresh air in horror.

The atypical framework, the 'not all men' subplot, the strong directing all work hard to make us overlook the WTFs resplendent in the 3rd act.

A very creative thriller film about a house that is rented out on Air B&B that reveals its hidden dark secrets to a couple renters and the property manager. What began as a typical thriller that makes the audience think that the predator is one of the tenants who is going to kill the other (a young female), takes an expecting turn, or turns. However, the turns it makes; the scenes with flashbacks or flash forwards, is cut up so much so that you think another film started. However, how the pieces fit together and the thrilling upbeat conclusion of the film is twisted and entertaining.

This was a fun and interesting movie. Some parts where pretty long and heavy with dialogue, but they definitely kept in interesting to stay tuned in.

This is really more of a comedy horror film. I love Bill Skarsgård and wish he’d been in the film longer, but if once you realize it’s a comedy horror and take it as it is, it’s not bad. I wouldn’t pay for a movie ticket for it, but I’d definitely stream it for $5 when it’s out for rent.

An intense, unpredictable, gory and scary mystery horror. It has great acting performances, amazing visuals and a ton of scares. The first half was so scary to me and midway through the movie we get a sudden mood change and it becomes more comedic while remaining scary. It was a huge risk to do that but that's what sold the movie for me. Everyone was laughing in the theater whenever Justin Long was on screen he was hilarious. Overall a very fun ride this needs to be watched in a crowd or with friends if you can.

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Barbarian’:

1. I would love to be double-booked at a spooky Airbnb with Bill Skarsgård. And I could’ve used more of him in this film.

2. While I thought the drastic shift in tone was appropriately-jarring, there was much wasted time spent on setting up Justin Long’s character.

3. There was still a little left to be desired and some wasted potential, but I thought this was a solid film with great acting, a terrific mood-setting score, and it legitimately kept me guessing until the end.

What starts out as a standard horror film soon turns into a plain dumb, unbearable and often incomprehensible hot mess that tries too hard to shock and forgets to entertain. Genuinely surprised seeing its average rating on Letterboxd as this garbage should have never been made and is undeserving of such high ratings. Yikes.

An awesome ride that you should go into as blind as possible, really has everything from spooks, gore and goofs and one of the best cut to credit songs since American Werewolf In London
