One of 2022’s Best & Most Overlooked Horror Films is Now Available for Streaming

There’s been a welcome resurgence of horror releases as of late, and 2022 delivered some spectacular spooks, but one underappreciated gem was that of Barbarian, the debut film from Zach Cregger.

The movie had a limited run in cinemas, but thankfully, has now hit streaming services HBO Max and Amazon Prime, allowing you to check the slow-burn horror.

Starring Bill Skarsgård, Justin Long, and Georgina Campbell, Barbarian follows a young woman who is in town for a job interview, and checks into an Airbnb late at night only to find that her rental has been mistakenly double-booked with a strange man who is already staying there. Against her better judgement, she decides to stay the night anyway, but soon discovers that there is much more to be afraid of in the house than the other house guest.

Barbarian is a great entry into the genre for anyone who appreciates subtle horror techniques. It’s extremely well-paced, quite quirky, admittedly terrifying, and has a weird dark sense of humour to it, making it one of the more interesting and unique releases of 2023.

You can check out Barbarian on HBO Max and Amazon Prime.
