In BarbarianMovie, nothing is as it seems.
Zach Cregger's Barbarian took the horror genre by storm just in time for the 2022 Halloween season, with a box office opening of $10 million in just over two thousand theaters and rave review after rave review. Cregger, formerly of The Whitest Kids U' Know, brings to life a horror movie with a basic concept that follows your standard horror tropes while also packing it to the brim with subtle social undertones and commentary.
Nothing Is As It Seems On the surface, Barbarian is absolutely bonkers. From the beginning and even the trailer, the movie makes it seem as though Keith is the one who is about to prey on Tess in some capacity. As we move through the movie, a secret room in the basement is found with a single dingy bed and an old-school video camera. Weird, right? Not as weird as the rocky staircase descending even further underground beyond that.
The disparity lies in the fact that if the roles were reversed, it is unlikely that a man would have to be concerned about his well-being or be worried that he would be taken advantage of or harmed. This is even something that is joked about in the dialogue between Tess and Keith, and he acknowledges that men wouldn't have to be as hyper-vigilant as Tess has to be to protect herself.
