SPOILER ALERT: Let's talk about that WTF reveal in Barbarian (via toofab)
The marketing for the film has been pretty smart, focusing mainly on footage from the first act of the film -- as two strangers show up to the same Airbnb the same night. Despite some hesitation, Tess winds up staying with Keith , who viewers initially suspect is a bad guy in sheep's clothing. However, something far more sinister is at play here -- which the two discover when they venture into the basement and are attacked by a hulking naked woman.
In the end, AJ and Tess escape the caverns with The Mother on their tail. AJ proves himself to be the actual"Barbarian" in the film, however, as he attempts to sacrifice Tess to save his own hide ... only to be killed by The Mother in the movie's final moments. Tess comes out victorious, while everyone else dies. Pretty twisted, right?
You say you never set out to write a horror film. At what point did The Mother and Frank come into the idea and how did you flesh them out? But then it was over, it was the end and I had a 45-page short film that I knew I was never going to shoot, so I was done with it for a couple of days and I couldn't stop thinking about it. So I came up with another path in and the polar opposite of that chapter -- about a woman being hyper-vigilant and hyper-aware -- would be a man who had no awareness, who was oblivious to the damage he was doing to the world around him.
