Barbarian

We end Horrortober 9, this year a mixed bag of new and old horror, with a film from 2022 that made tons of waves in the horror world: Barbarian. Scary Stories We Tell's Emma Mantell joins for the first time to talk about a rough movie with even rougher subject material, trigger warning advised for assault.Georgina Campbell plays Tess, a woman renting out an Airbnb for the week only to find that it's already occupied by a man, played by Bill Skarsgard. That's the setup and should you want to check the movie out, do yourself a favor and go in as cold as possible. It's a wild, at times nonsensical ride that attempts to subvert your expectations damn near endlessly.
