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.
Why it matters
A genre-bending thriller that upends expectations with a labyrinthine story and unnerving atmosphere.
- Twists and tonal shifts keep you off-balance—this isn’t your typical haunted Airbnb tale.
- Bill Skarsgård and Georgina Campbell deliver magnetic performances that anchor the escalating dread.
- Practical and psychological horror collide, riffing on classics like Psycho and The Hills Have Eyes with a fresh, unsettling voice.
- Ideal for viewers craving a puzzle-box narrative that toys with genre conventions and moral ambiguity.
