Christina Newland

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.

Rowell S Suspenseful, thrilling and worth a watch for a horror genre. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review James P one of the best horror films I've seen a while. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review May Weird movie. Horrible ending. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/28/23 Full Review Brandon Richardson 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. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/09/23 Full Review Angel G It was horrible. I don’t understand how people are raving about this movie.
