Barbarian
In town for a job interview, a young woman arrives at her Airbnb late at night only to find that it has been mistakenly double-booked and a strange man is already staying there. Against her better judgement, she decides to stay the night anyway.
Critics Sentiment
The deformed woman kills Keith in the underground tunnels
Tess kills the woman after AJ's betrayal and death
The film plummets from its peak horror moment with Keith's death to a widely criticized finale that reviewers found ridiculous and physics-defying.
Barbarian starts exceptionally strong with masterful tension-building and atmospheric horror that critics universally praised. The film maintains high quality through its shocking reveals and character introductions, but significantly deteriorates in the final act where reviewers felt it became campy and nonsensical, abandoning its grounded tone for ridiculous physics-defying moments.
