Film Review - Barbarian (2022)

Barbarian is a new 20th Century Fox-sorry-Studios (I will never not be over that sorry) horror film and stars Georgina Campbell as Tess Marshall who books into an Air BnB house in Detriot for a job interview the next day but when she gets to the house she finds someone else a man named Keith (Bill Skarsgard) staying there but both of them get caught in the basement and find a secret door that leads to an underground passage that holds something sinister inside it.

 

Barbarian was an okay horror film and does exactly what it promises on the box, provide some effective scares anchored by a good cast and the scares and atmosphere are very good with lots of dark tunnels, flash lights and sinister goings on down below and all of it is pretty good on a big cinema screen but it will work better with a crowd eager to be scared like with Smile.

 

As for that cast they are very good, Campbell and Skarsgard make for a good likeable pair that actually have a pretty good chemistry together in their scenes while Justin Long is good as well as another character that enters the film some way through and does well with the horror moments he’s given to do.

 

And so that was Barbarian and its pretty good I didn’t love it all that much but Horror fans will enjoy it all the same, 3 out of 5.
