 Barbarians now in theaters, and it's getting a lot of early buzz. Here's the very basic premise. A woman named Tascos to stay at an AirBnB, things go awry. There's a slow build for a little while, leading into what I could only imagine was at one point an interesting premise before something happened behind the scenes. It feels like something that was rewritten, repurposed, shelved, brought back, dusted off, and had another pass at. After about 30 minutes of build-up and possible potential, the thing falls completely flat for me. It goes in these weird directions, and I just wasn't feeling any of it. I hated this movie. It's one of those horror movies that every single decision the character makes is so beyond dumb, so completely inept. Frustrating doesn't even begin to describe the emotions I have. Maybe temper expectations, maybe pairback. I'm not saying don't see it. You might enjoy it. But I watched the movie and it kept reminding me of other films that did it much better, and that's just not a good place to be.
