Barbarian - 2.5/4

The first act is very well played and it puts you in the mood for a mystery rather than a far fetched horror film. The second act is trying to be too clever after a ridiculous transition and it falls flat for me, though I appreciate what was attempted with the social commentary. The third act tries to pull the madness together but the personification of the back story as a villain was just plain silly. I felt a bit robbed after such a great introduction to the story which is a shame because there was a lot of good stuff later on in there that didn’t require anything quite so daft topping it off.

If you didn’t enjoy “Don’t Breathe” then probably give this a miss.
