Yesterday I checked out Weapons and was really impressed by how good it was. So today I checked out Barbarian.
WHAT THE FUCK was that idiotic shit? The first 45 minutes or so was really good, full of tension and man I was on the edge of my seat.
And then the rest of the movie happened and BWHAHAHA it was so absurd and idiotic.
It is very clear the Creggar has an affinity for creepy looking female monsters but some critter who has lived its entire life in a cave under a house has super strength.
Whatever you do skip this crap.
I thought the first half was interesting, how it subverted a lot of horror tropes and really played on the normal subtleties of human interaction. The second half definitely felt like a weird Whitest Kids sketch.
It almost felt like they didn’t really know how to develop and end the first part.
I don’t really see how it subverted a lot of horror tropes other than sort of he was not her jailer.
