Barbarian
Some stay for a night. Some stay for a week. Some never leave.
Directed by Zach Cregger
Produced by BoulderLight Pictures, Vertigo Entertainment
A claustrophobic, paranoia-soaked horror-thriller that escalates from domestic unease into visceral body horror and existential dread.
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.
