'The less you know, the better' is a good way to approach seeing the movie Barbarian.
Tess has come to scenic Detroit for a job interview. But when she arrives at her Airbnb, she finds it already occupied by Keith , who produces his own proof of reservation. With no other options — and against her better judgment — she agrees to share the house with him. And then stuff happens. It's difficult to review a movie that really rewards the audience for not seeking anything out about it.
Writer/director Zach Cregger does his best to make even the mundane as sinister as possible : from a cup of tea to an electric toothbrush. The initial ... I don't want to call it"misdirection," because much of what comes next is a direct result of Tess and Keith's initial interactions, and how the red flags are laid right out for us.
Is Keith a Nice Guy? Even after he mistakes Tess's friendliness for something more? Should any of that matter in the final analysis? Are we more inclined to distrust him because he's played by freaking Pennywise? Am I stalling? Other warning signs abound. The Airbnb in question is somehow the only intact house in what looks like a bombed-out neighborhood. Lack of nearby hotels aside, it's hard to believe that many women would agree to spend the night alone in a house with a complete stranger.So yes:"the less you know going in, the better" is applicable to for a variety of reasons.
