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.

It was horrible. I don’t understand how people are raving about this movie. It’s not scary and the ending was the worst

Campy, crazy, scary, jumped in my seat a few times before it even got scary. Very believable acting from Georgina Campbell (very attractive young lady) but character was way too nosy-guess that kept the suspense going :). All the male actors(including 'Mother' :) ) were great. I liked the unexpected back story showing up later in the movie. Music was great.

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.

The Curb

With Barbarian Cregger clearly knows what he’s doing with a horror film. He’s absolutely aware of the tropes and pulls the audience in, tricks them, pulls them in again, and comes up with bizarre and visceral horror.

Zach Cregger's unique storytelling in the horror film will leave any viewer baffled, transforming a generic premise into a truly captivating, suspenseful, thematically rich story where the definition of a "good person" is brilliantly explored.

Rated: B+
