I went out to a super nice AMC theater last night to watch Barbarian. What. A. Movie. I don’t know if they ever made another trailer but I only ever saw one and it never gave much away. Turns out, it really gives us nothing at all. This had so many great twists and turns throughout. At a certain point about an hour in, my boyfriend and I looked at each other and asked if we were still in the same movie. It really switches up in a shocking way that’s not good at first but it gets better. Sit with it before leaving. Georgina Campbell is phenomenal here, her performance is just very well done. Bill Skarsgård is really good outside a crazy amount of clown makeup it turns out. I was afraid all I would be able to do is think of Pennywise when he was on screen but after his first scene I was all in with him and his interactions with Campbell. Justin Long does such a great job playing a character that is so easy to hate. Jaymes Butler deserved more screen time. The real hero of this film. They did him so damn dirty. I’m really afraid of ruining this experience for anybody so I’m going to try and wrap it up in a second. They slow burn up to the first scares but once it gets started you get a couple before it goes back to slow before going back up again. I don’t think this movie will be for everyone but for those that are willing to sit with it I think they’re going to really like it. There’s a few things I wish they would have explained better or wrapped up better, but man I had a fun time at the theater with this. Please go see Barbarian when you can. I’m not sure if it’s playing in IMAX but I saw it in some GXL theater that I’ve never used before and absolutely loved it, very loud, very big, very nice screen. I’m giving this an 8/10! A movie that demands to be seen knowing next to nothing about it. -Tyler.
