Also: is ‘Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ really worth all the money they spent on making it?
Georgina Campbell stars as a naive woman who rents an Airbnb and lands in big trouble in “Barbarian.”A candidate for best horror film of 2022, along with a sweet-tempered streaming series spun off Pixar’s “Cars” vie for your viewing time this week.
Perhaps if she’d seen even one bloody “Saw” movie, she might have Google mapped the hell out of a neighborhood before booking an Airbnb stuck in a decaying suburban nightmare where no one ventures out at night. She might’ve had the foresight to say “no way, no how” about spending the night there once she met the awkward but cute guy already booked there. Most of all, she would have never ventured into the bowels of a creepy basement.
Cregger’s ambitious feature isn’t schlocky; it takes diabolical pleasure in mixing solid jump scares with a multi-tiered narrative that supports numerous plot curlicues and “Psycho”-like shocks and creates a horror story with something to say about America’s societal and cultural ills and the nasty fallout of gentrification, Reaganomics and toxic male behavior.
