Written and directed by Zach Cregger, the new film, BARBARIAN (2022), was released on September 9^th, 2022 to general US audiences.  The movie received very favorable reviews by critics and went on to gross $35.8M USD against a budget of $4M USD.  With an interesting premise of a double booked AirBNB, the movie turns into something much different as it enters its second act.

Tess (Georgina Campbell) is in Detroit for a job interview.  When she arrives at her AirBNB, not only is she surprised that the neighborhood is rundown, but the house is already occupied by Keith (Bill Skarsgard).  With a convention in town and no rooms available anywhere, Tess has to decide whether to stay and share this home with a complete stranger or drive scores of miles away and try to find a room.

The movie is split into numerous acts, including a flashback, and even changes perspectives of leads.  With a very dark mystery of the house, as well as the unknown backgrounds of the lead characters, the film leaves a dread that makes one ponder where the story will go.  Dark Discussions takes a look at this very interesting film which includes Justin Long and Richard Brake in the cast and gives their thoughts.
