The unforgettable horror pushed Zach Cregger’s name to the forefront and it’s one of my favourite films from this decade. Filled with constant twists and turns, the blending of genres and just…just a weird unsettling tone…Weapons made me wanna revisit this movie. So throughout the film we’ll be breaking it down and talking about all the twisted things within it. With that out the way thank you for clicking this…now lets get into Barbarian. Ok so Cregger came up with the idea for the film after reading the book The Gift Of Fear. Written by Gavin De Becker in 1997…it talks about how violence is predictable. I’m sure we’ve all been out walking at night…and youve seen like a dark alley that you almost wanna go down. Something inside says that you shouldnt and thus you avoid taking that path. And who knows what couldve happened. Couldve ended up watching Screen Crush.

_"It's a bad place, and she aint even the worst thing in there.."_ What an iconic line.
It's my first time staying at an Airbnb. Guess I'll watch some heavy spoilers to relax before bed...
I always thought Barbarian was almost a point by point reversal of Psycho. It’s an AirBnB instead of a hotel. Instead of the road moving away from the hotel leaving it empty, the people move away from the neighborhood (urban flight) leaving it empty. Instead of running away from a job and towards a budding romance, the protagonist is running way from a relationship and towards a new job. The strange but polite man turns out to be safe instead of a killer. Instead of an overbearing mother figure we get a monstrously abusive father figure. We get a narrative shift to a different character, but instead of the protagonist’s sister and boyfriend trying to help, it’s an unrelated male character who just wants to help himself. Instead of the psycho son, our main antagonist is a monstrous (barbarian) daughter. I’m sure there’s more but that’s what I remember noticing.
What made this one so amazing to me, was the fact they purposely hid the plot from the trailer.. I really wish more studios would do the same because it really elevates my experience with this film.. glad to see your eye is healing up Paul! Been sending good vibes your way our film loving mate! ❤️
10:39 I read a comment somewhere that said this scene demonstrated how the mother cares for those in the house even before taking them. She was likely checking on Keith when he had a nightmare and checked on Tess as well.
I loved Keith feeling the need to over explain himself because that’s something I could see someone saying in real life (it’s me. I’m that someone 😂)
I think you meant to say, "As soon as he opens the door you're kind of on your Skarsgard."
Watched this alone and still almost felt the urge to stand and applaud when it was over. An absolute gem of a movie. Couldn't recommend it more
Excellent film and a damn good breakdown ..Justin long cracks me up when measuring up the house
I still don’t understand how the woman would come up at night if the basement door locks
Justin long is my favorite scream queen

Am I the only one who burst out laughing when the mother ripped off the guy's arm and beat him with it? It caught me off guard 😂
I always felt there was more to this movie like part 2 was coming
still laughing my ass off from the "smashes Pete like the subscribe button". Pure genious, thx man
Remember when your parents would tell you not to get into a strangers car or go to a strangers house. And now everyone uses uber and air bnb.
One of my favorite movies of all times. I can’t recommend this enough. It has a perfect blend of suspense, mystery, horror, and humor!
This is the only channel I have become a member for, and I feel like I always get my money's worth. Thank you for these breakdowns, always makes me revisit movies or watch a movie I never got around to watching, especially the classic movie breakdowns. Thanks Paul, keep up the great work ❤️
Watch it a few weeks back after watching weapons. Never heard of it and knew nothing about it. It was really good. Do wonder how that man has been able to live there for so long, and how did he survive for years like that. Her daughter couldn't possibly get supplies or food for him.
No way I just watched this movie for the first time last night and was going to see did you make a breakdown videos for it and you just uploaded it coincidentally 😭
