What is Barbarian about?
Written and directed by Zach Cregger, Barbarian features the story of Tess Marshall (Georgina Campbell), a young woman, who arrives at her Airbnb-style rental booking only to find the house already occupied. Keith (Bill Skarsgard), who had booked the house through a separate rental app for the same date, offers to share the booking with her overnight. Gradually, Tess unravels the secrets of the house—without spoiling anything, the film manages to subvert a lot of horror tropes, keeping viewers on their toes.
The film is finally streaming after a successful box office run. You can find it, as well as other horror flicks like It, Malignant, The Conjuring, Halloween Kills and much more, on HBO Max.
