Review of Barbarian

Barbarian (2022)
6/10
Why so highly rated?
8 October 2022
I'm not going to rate this on a disappointment level (which would earn it a 1 star rating) but rather for what it is. And what it is is just a ho-hum horror flick. I was glad to see it steer clear of too many jump scares but it failed to really build up any sense of dread or tension. This may simply be desensitization after watching so many horror flicks. If you are a seasoned veteran then you won't find this to be terrifying in the least. You won't even find it all that original. I was expecting some kind of big reveal, some kind of jaw dropping, unexpected twist as the movie moved into the third act but......I was left disappointed.

Fine camera work and acting and enough tension to make it enjoyable enough but a 7.6 (current rating)? No way.
