Starring Georgina Campbell and Bill Skarsgård, the film Barbarian (Brutal Nights, in Portuguese) came to Brazil. Zach Cregger’s horror, available on the Star+ streaming service, is one of 20th Century Fox’s main bets on the genre. The feature film premiered in US theaters in September.
So far, Barbarian has been well received by experts and audiences alike. The film has a 92% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The plot seems like a smart option for those who like horror with dark and spooky humor.
Barbarian’s premise seems simple. In short, Tess Marshall (Georgina Campbell) arrives in Detroit and rents an Airbnb to stay. Once there, however, he finds that another tenant is already staying in the house. So she decides to share the room with the stranger, but things start to turn into horror.
Heads up! Watch out for spoilers on the end of the barbarians!

The end of Barbarian explained
At the end of the film, Tess returns to Airbnb to save AJ who witnessed Frank’s suicide. Both manage to escape from the house, but the mother is still alive and continues the hunt. The antagonist walks down the street and murders the neighbor who was covering for Tess and AJ. He then attacks AJ and gouges out his eyes, causing a brutal death. Ultimately, Tess shoots the mother and survives Barbarian’s torment.
The film thus suggests that women are nowhere safe. Barbarian introduces cruel acts of men, with Frank going from house to house to rape and abuse. Therefore, at the end of the production, the point is that the female victims have to repeatedly justify their own actions in order to make someone understand what they have been through.
Therefore, Barbarian portrays varying degrees of crimes against women and portrays Frank and AJ as “opposites”. The first record of abuse and rape of women they hold in prison. The second “only” has a rape allegation on his back, which is why he thinks he is better and superior.
Finally the Barbarian film is available in the Star+ service catalogue.
