Barbarian
Date Of Release: August 31, 2022
Viewers hailed Barbarian at the San Diego Comic-Con early screening. Barbarian is Zack Cregger’s creation of Miss March (2007) and Wrecked (2016-2018). Barbarian will differ from his other upbeat projects, but it is expected to have some humor still.
Tess is the film’s unfortunate protagonist. She has booked an Airbnb in Detroit for her stay. Unfortunately, when she gets to the address, she discovers that the Airbnb is being rented by someone else.
She decides to stay for the night against her better judgment, only to discover something sinister in the house and that an unknown guest is living there. The barbarian horror film isn’t your average horror movie. Instead, it makes you laugh, cry, and gasp through its 100-minute runtime.
