Leave your thoughts about Barbarian.
| The Seattle TimesQina LiuBarbarian is skillfully directed, smartly cast and superbly acted. |
| San Francisco ChronicleBob StraussAn unnerving thriller that never goes quite where you’d expect, this feature writing/directing debut from Zach Cregger (“The Whitest Kids U’Know”) also does monstrously amazing things with lighting, sets and special effects makeup. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Sarah-Tai BlackWhat Cregger best accomplishes with Barbarian is an unhinged sort of storytelling that nevertheless feels calculated in its design. It knows that comedy and horror are two sides of the same coin, and synthesizes both while also playfully knocking loose a screw or two. |
| Rolling StoneDavid FearWhile Barbarian‘s unexpected popularity outside of die-hard genre circles can be attributed to old-fashioned, organic word of mouth, it’s also a first-rate horror movie, full stop. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeTo Cregger’s credit, the sense of dread he creates is the stuff that the very best horror movies are made of. |
| SlashfilmRyan ScottBarbarian ends up being a masterclass in tension and unpredictability. It is scary without leaning too hard on tropes, making for a truly entertaining film. It is a damn good-looking movie anchored by great performances all around. |
| PolygonJoshua RiveraCregger merely uses the premise as a foundation for something more ambitious, delivering a lean, surprising film with effective thrills, while also giving viewers plenty to contemplate afterward. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchKatie WalshCregger slowly builds bone-chilling and suspenseful sequences up to screechingly operatic moments of face-melting horror, and then swiftly cuts to a different chapter, making a hard left into a completely different mode, taking us all on the roller-coaster ride. His facility with comedy also aids in these jarring tone switches, and Barbarian is as funny as it is terrifying. |
| Austin ChronicleTrace SauveurScary, funny, brutal, smart, and perverse – this is the stuff that future classic horror midnighters are made of. |
| The New York TimesBeatrice LoayzaCregger sets up dozens of clichés and pulls them in genuinely surprising directions, brandishing his touchstones: American horror films of the 80s and 90s in the vein of Wes Craven. |
