Barbarian (2022)
Directed by Zach Cregger
Quick Hit
Barbarian comes off like a mystery-horror spiralâtwisty, nasty, while the pressure keeps climbing.
Full Take
Barbarian leans hard into mystery horror energy, and Zach Cregger keeps the tone twisty without letting the movie drift. It balances style and ugliness the right way, letting the mood get under your skin before the worst of it lands. Not flawless, but the swing is worth it.
