OUR RATING: ★★★★☆

Story:

Horror thriller written and directed by Zach Cregger. Barbarian (2022) centers on a young woman, Tess (Georgina Campbell), who travels to Detroit for a job interview and arrives at her rental home late at night only to find that the house has been mistakenly double-booked by a strange man, Keith (Bill Skarsgård). Against her better judgement, she decides to stay the night anyway, but soon discovers that there is much more to be afraid of in the house than the other house guest.

Tess: [as she arrives at the rental house and find the key missing] Oh, you’ve go to be kidding me.


 

Keith: [after Tess rings the door bell] Yeah?
Tess: I’m sorry, who are you?
Keith: What? Who are you?
Tess: This is 476 Barbary, right?
Keith: I don’t know. Yeah. Yeah. I think so.
Tess: You don’t know?
Keith: No. I don’t live here. I’m renting this place. It’s the middle of the night. I don’t have it on the top of my head, the address.
Tess: No, I’m renting this place
Keith: What?


 

Tess: Would you mind pulling up your reservation confirmation, just so I can see it?
Keith: In case I’m some kind of weirdo, who’s broken in here to sleep?


 

Keith: [to Tess] I mean, I don’t know if you got a great look at this neighborhood, but it’s not, I don’t think you should be sitting out there by yourself this late. I mean, I wouldn’t do that. Look, obviously, do whatever you want, but if you want to hang out in here, where it’s dry, and there’s a lock on the door, I’m totally fine with that.


 

Keith: Alright. Here’s what I propose. Why don’t you just crash here?
Tess: Oh, no. I don’t think that’s…
Keith: No, no, no. You take the bedroom, and I’ll sleep out here on the couch. And then tomorrow, we’ll call these idiots. Get our money back. Free stay for both of us.


 

Keith: Call me what you want, but there’s no way I’m sleeping in the bedroom while a young lady is sleeping on the couch. Blame it on my upbringing, but it’s not up for discussion.
Tess: Well, no offense, but I kind of have a thing about clean sheets.


 

Tess: I’m really sorry about all this.
Keith: What, are you kidding? It’s not your fault. You’re just as put out as me.


 

Tess: [to Keith] It’s such a cliche. The guy who thinks love and control are the same thing. And the girl who lets herself become, I don’t know, some kind of pet or something? Oh, my God. It’s so cliche, and it’s so boring, and I can’t believe it’s happening to me.

 

'There's always going to be people that project some kind of dynamic onto us that serves them. It's up to us if we want to play ball or not.' - Keith (Barbarian) Click To Tweet

 

Keith: Look, there’s always going to be people that project some kind of dynamic onto us that serves them. It’s up to us if we want to play ball or not.
Tess: Is that my lesson?
Keith: I don’t know.


 

Tess: Maybe my lesson is that guys will walk all over you as long as you let them. Yeah. That’s my lesson.
Keith: I take issue with that statement.
Tess: Oh, yeah. That’s because you’re a guy. I mean, the world’s different for you. Guys get to blast their way through life making messes. Girls have to be careful.


 

Keith: What, do I look like some kind of monster?


 

Tess: Why is it always the girls who get their hearts ripped out in these things?
Keith: Girls can rip. Trust me.


 

Keith: You scared the s**t out of me.
Tess: Did you open my door?
Keith: No!

Tess: [as she finds a hidden door in the basement] Nope.


 

Tess: We need to go. We need to go now!
Keith: What are you talking about? Why were you in the basement?
Tess: I got locked in the basement, and then there was this hidden area! There was this room!
Keith: There’s a hidden room?
Tess: There is something bad going on here!


 

Keith: You’re safe.
Tess: I don’t think I am.


 

Tess: I was in the basement. And then I found this hidden passageway. And there was this room, and it was like a dungeon.
Keith: Like a dungeon? What was in there?
Tess: There was a bed, and a camera, and a bucket.

Keith: It’s a basement. It’s filled with junk, okay? It doesn’t sound that weird.
Tess: If you want to go and look, suit yourself, but I’m going!
Keith: Right now?
Tess: Yes.


 

Keith: [to Tess] I can’t just be running off in a panic because there’s a room downstairs with a bed and a bucket.


 

Tess: [after she finds Keith in the hidden tunnel] Why did you come down here?
Keith: Someone else is down here.
Tess: What?


 

Keith: [to Tess] We have to come this way! That’s the way out! Please stop! I’m not going back there!
[suddenly the Mother attacks and kills him]


 

AJ: I’m not here on the lam. I’m not here on vacation. I’m here to do some f***ing liquidating.

AJ: [over phone, as we find out he owns the house Keith and Tess stayed in] Is someone staying here at the moment?
Bonnie: I don’t think so.
AJ: Well, someone’s here. There’s a suitcase, and clothes, and s**t. Yeah, no. People are staying here.
Bonnie: We haven’t rented it out in a couple of weeks.
AJ: Well, do we know when the last tenants checked out? Do I have squatters?


 

AJ: So, who the f*** is staying in my house?


 

AJ: What up, fa**ot? Guess who’s back in town.


 

AJ: [stood by the basement door] Somebody here? Hello? Okay, here’s the deal. I have a gun. And I’m going to come down there and just open up on whoever I see in about thirty seconds. Alright? Or you can just come up here now, and I’ll let you go.

AJ: [to himself] Squat in my f***ing house? Huh? Hide in my basement? I’m a f***ing man. I’ll f*** you up.


 

Doug: [flashback to 1980s to the original owner of the house] We’re moving, Frank. Yeah. I hate to do it. You know? But the wife thinks if we don’t do it now we may not be able to get out this time next year, because, you know, neighborhood’s going to hell, Frank. You plan on staying?
Frank: I’m not going anywhere.


 

Tess: [after the Mother throws AJ into the pit] This is very, very important. You need to stay calm. You cannot freak out around her, okay? Trust me. Okay?
AJ: I don’t want to be here.
Tess: Do you think I want to f***ing be here?

 

'I might be a bad person. Or maybe I'm a good person who just did a bad thing. I can't change what I've done. I can just try and fix it.' - AJ (Barbarian) Click To Tweet

 

Tess: You cannot get upset. If you get upset, she gets upset.
AJ: “She”? Who’s “she”?


 

Tess: [to AJ, referring to the milk bottle the Mother is offering] Just drink it! Get up! Don’t you see? She just wants you to be her baby.

Andre: [referring to AJ, after she escapes from the house] You want to go back in there? Ain’t no helping him.
Tess: We can’t leave him.
Andre: You listen to me now. You’re safe. You got out. You should count yourself as lucky, you hear? You should have never went in that house to begin with. That’s a bad place. And she ain’t even the worst thing that’s in there.


 

Tess: [referring to AJ] She will kill him! I need to help him!
Andre: And how you going to do that? Come nighttime, she’s going to come out of there, and she’s going to come looking for you. She comes out at night. So, if you want to get going, then go. But don’t you come back. And don’t you be around here when it gets dark.


 

Tess: [to the cops] I am not a crackhead. I am not a crazy person. I am a woman who’s been held prisoner and has escaped. And I’m telling you that there is a man in serious danger.


 

AJ: [after he finds Frank living in the tunnel] I mean, I’m going to get out of here. I’m going to get out, and I’m going to get help. Going to let everybody know what’s going on down here. That f***ing thing is going to pay for what it did. Don’t worry, okay? There are going to be f***ing cops swarming this place real f***ing soon. Trust me, man.


 

Tess: This is a crime scene. She has killed a man already, and there could be someone down there getting murdered right now.
Officer: Ma’am, there’s no one in this building. No one’s being murdered. And the only crime that I’ve seen so far is you breaking this window.
Tess: What am I supposed to say to get you to listen to me?


 

Tess: [after she rescues AJ and accidentally shoots the Mother] She’s gone!
AJ: What do you mean she’s gone? Where the f*** is she?
Tess: I don’t know.


 

Andre: I can’t believe she let you get this far.
AJ: What the f*** is she?
Andre: She’s just a crazy lady living in that house.


 

Andre: She was born there.
AJ: What are you talking about? I own that house. Nobody lives there.
Andre: Boy, you might own that paper, but that’s her daddy’s house. And he ain’t never left there, and she never left there neither.


 

Andre: [referring to Frank] He used to bring women down there. And then he started making babies with them. And babies with the babies. And you make a copy of a copy of a copy, and you end up with something like that.


 

AJ: This is my fault.
Andre: It don’t matter whose fault it is.
AJ: It does! I hurt somebody! That matters. I don’t know if I’m a bad person. But I might be. I might be a bad person. Or maybe I’m a good person who just did a bad thing. I can’t change what I’ve done. I can just try and fix it. And that’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to fix it.


 

Tess: How do you know she can’t get in here?
Andre: S**t. I’ve been living in this place more than fifteen years, and she ain’t never came in this m**herf***er.
[suddenly the Mother attacks him from behind and kills him]


 

AJ: [after the Mother kills Andre, and chases them up the water tower] There’s nowhere to f***ing go! She wants us, she’s going to get us. And she’s never going to stop.


 

AJ: [as he grabs hold of Tess] I can get away. But you’re going to have to slow her down. Hey! Come get your baby!
[he pushes Tess off the tower, then the Mother jumps after her, shielding her from the fall]


 

Tess: [after the Mother kills AJ] I can’t go back.
The Mother: Baby. Baby.
