With Weapons Reviews from Zach Cregger now out, Andrew & Tara REUNITE for their Barbarian Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis & Full Movie Spoiler Review!! Andrew Gordon & Tara Erickson venture into the nightmarish twists of Zach Cregger’s Barbarian (2022) in this spine-chilling Reaction & Review of one of the most surprising horror films in recent years. Set in a rundown Detroit neighborhood, the story begins with Tess Marshall (Georgina Campbell – Black Mirror, Krypton) arriving at her Airbnb only to discover it’s been double-booked with a stranger named Keith (Bill Skarsgård – It, Hemlock Grove). Against her better judgment, she stays the night—only to uncover something truly horrifying hidden in the basement. What follows is a shocking descent into claustrophobic terror, where the house's history proves far darker than anyone expected. The film also stars Justin Long (Jeepers Creepers, Live Free or Die Hard) as AJ Gilbride, a disgraced Hollywood actor whose connection to the property brings an unexpected layer of moral ambiguity and black comedy to the chaos. Richard Brake (31, Game of Thrones) makes a haunting appearance as "The Mother’s" creator, adding to the film’s eerie mythology. Highly searched and widely discussed moments include the discovery of the tunnel system, the night vision cam scene, Tess’s escape attempt, and the rooftop climax—each redefining audience expectations with nerve-wracking tension and misdirection. Barbarian is a masterclass in structure-bending horror, tackling themes of trust, trauma, and male entitlement while keeping audiences on edge with relentless suspense and unexpected turns. Join us as we break down the film’s most disturbing moments, wild plot shifts, and the unforgettable performances that made this a modern horror standout.
