I loved the scene where Justin’s character finds the “dad/grandpa” and immediately goes to him not afraid. It’s interesting because he’s the “ monster” technically speaking even though he looks like an old man. I actually felt kind of bad for the “mother”.

[@thatkidroshay]

lmao Im gonna be the asshole here and say.. nahhh The mother is still "the monster" 🤣🤣 in reality, of course I understand what youre saying but at the same time the father can't rip off someones arm straight from their body or smash a head into bits LOL

[@pluckyduck11y]

I think his character was sincerely willing to help. His moment of self-reflection was sincere, but it also requires courage to help someone else in that situation, which he totally lost after he saw the She-Hulk monster rip a grown man in half. Everybody can talk a good game about being brave until you see someone ripped in half. It does not excuse throwing the person you accidentally shot off a tower as bait though. He was exceptionally foul for that. I loved how he repeatedly fumbled with the gun too. Hilarious

[@brbaic9364]

The Mother is the way she is because of the Father, he is the "barbarian". She appears a monster, but is ultimately a producr of his doing. It's actually kind of tragic.

[@shanetaylor761]

@@pluckyduck11y did you feel like the tower scene was kind of movie logic lol. I mean wasn't he also one of her potential babies. I'd have thought the mother would just look at him like "wtf bro" and then go drag him back home rather then jump off a tower. When he first threw her i didn't even have time to understand the correlation so i was shocked when it worked. Like damn you're evil but well played sir.

[@MadailinBurnhope]

yeah, this movie is about how constant victimisation can create a "monster"; all she wants is (firstly) revenge, and (secondly) love the film is clever because it shows Long's character, a rapist, sympathising with the actual monster, a rapist if there's anything missing for me, it's the purpose of Skarsgard's character

[@ameerab3451]

I saw a screening tonight and it was amazing! I just wish bill had more screen time because him and Georgina had great chemistry 🥲

[@johnathanZuniga]

Nah he was the movie. I hate how they took him of the movie so quick

[@annas9720]

oh me too!! Bill got robbed!!!

[@PaulGrantDesigns]

Never trust any review from someone who uses the word "Amazing".

[@MadailinBurnhope]

yeah I was disappointed with that

[@erikchristensen822]

Joseph does such a good job learning the plot of movies he hasn't seen. I'm always impressed how much he can recall and even interject with points.

[@DustinStraube]

The house is on Barbary street so technically speaking, the ones that live there are "Barbarians"

[@badgerhooker8275]

Joseph giving Nick shade and Nick giving Joseph the side eye never gets old lol

[@esoteric76]

This movie looked just gorgeous. So many unexpected layers and such spoiler-free marketing! Thank you for your hilarious review!!

[@rynbliss]

i think a really interesting thing about this movie is that by the end i found myself feeling sympathetic toward the being that was framed as the Monster. like yes shes killed who knows how many people but she is a product of many layers of incest mutation and certainly an insane amount of neglect. the way she protected tess from getting hurt by the fall and was gentle with her when she saw she was hurt, it nearly made me cry. also there was a moment there where it looked like aj was going to be redeemed but i dont think he deserved it so i was actually kinda glad when he died? like, men much better than you have died why do you get to survive this.

[@millsykooksy4863]

I felt empathy for 'the monster' too, I didn't want her to die but I understand why the girl felt like she had to shoot her.

[@vivaciousom5347]

Saw it tonight to avoid all spoilers. Solid movie. Glad it wasn’t supernatural (enjoyed this already with Black Phone). This stuff could really happen and that is horrifying. Glad you both liked it.

[@shidollasign5620]

GUYS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!! My local AMC isn’t getting this, and the closest theater to me that’s showing it is over an hour away (and I don’t have time to travel that far), so I was dying to get an in depth review with spoilers!!! 💜💜

[@gatheringleaves]

It took me a while to recognize the rape/abuse themes so prevalent in this movie, and how all of the men, innocent or guilty, are portrayed in a suspicious light and end up dead by the film's end

[@OPSUNCIA]

Saw this early and it’s absolutely bonkers lmao in a good way. Didn’t expect this to be a nice blend of horror and comedy

[@msv4067]

Hey you guys, thank you! just want you to know that waiting for this to air at midnight here in the Philippines was so worth it. You have no idea how you add fun to this mom at home's mundane day.

[@chanseymeatball]

I really wanted Tess and Keith to make it out alive. Keith was adorable! But such a good film!!!!

[@opalrhue9032]

Immediately stopped watching when Nick said one of the best horror movies of the year! Oooo can’t wait to see this!!!😆

[@lbabytutorials4852]

Did u see it?

[@bo2720]

Yes let us know what u think !

[@kathrynpichel4435]

I hope you see this one Joseph! Just wondering if Nick or anyone else noticed the Justin Long character sings along to Donovan's Rikki Tikki Tavi about a mongoose who kills snakes and that Tess has a snake emblem hanging from her rear view mirror.

[@fishjellyfilmreviews]

I will definitely watch it. Thank you!

[@bo2720]

The craziness of this one reminds me of Dashcam. Loved that one too! Love the dramatic "BARBARIAN!!" at the start lol

[@tigerlilly9038]

look... I was fine with all the murder, mutants, inbreeding until you said barbarian is the anagram of airbnb 😳 . wait. let me go cancel a couple of reservations 😁😁 I love you guys. (BTW: I said nope during the trailer, so I appreciate they acknowledged her conscious choice to THROW away the good sense of intuition to SAVE A PERSON SHE DOES NOT KNOW..now the movie shenanigans can begin...

[@chrisbaker7583]

I admit I am a snob when it comes to horror. That being said, although I sincerely appreciated the story and thought the concept was creepy and full of potential, the movie Itself was ultimately a let down. The pacing was awful, as they spent more time developing characters than focusing on the actual horror. You get about 3 minutes of “horror” for every 20min of character development. I found myself feeling frustrated after the 3rd time something scary would happen, followed by an immediate hard cut to the beginning of a whole new sub plot. All that aside, the entire third act, especially the water tower scene, felt like a rushed mess. They were obviously trying to rush the exposition and explain everything in the laziest way possible (having the random homeless man show up and literally tell the entire story). The water tower scene was trash, and felt like the writers essentially gave up. She was shot and thrown off the water tower but they obvious couldn’t have her die so they were just like “fuck it” and she just walks away relatively unharmed from an insane fall. Overall just felt like they tried to do way too much and pack it all into the last 10min

[@TechnicJunglist]

Tusk Part 2: The Revenge 😄 But for real I'll watch anything w Justin & Bill. Two adorable quirky weirdos. Looking forward to this one.

[@nocontextwhatever]

Hahaha!

im officially convinced to leave this review and come back when i watch the movie, but imma leave a comment anyways to help with the algorithm hahahaha

Interesting that the neighbourhood is called Broadmoor - that's the name of an infamous high security prison in the UK for the criminally insane.

It's actually Brightmoor.

[@iputarsenicinthewine]

ooo so jealous yall got to see this one early, heard the third act is craaazy

[@georgiaboy2023]

"None of the men in this film do the right thing"? Didn't the homeless black guy do the right thing? Twice? I guess he didn't want to go down into the dungeon but can you blame him? I don't think any sensible person would say he "didn't do the right thing".

[@Daring2BDaring]

I've been waiting for you guys to review this film! Thank you!!! I absolutely love horror movies but I can't watch gore without getting physically sick, so I really appreciate your guys' summaries and reviews.

[@richgranados11]

The camerawork and lighting during the horror parts were pitch perfect. Right up there with X (and probably Pearl from the looks of it). The script and acting, though, seemed uneven. One moment it’s Men, then it’s Texas Chainsaw, then it’s Red Rocket before becoming something like Resident Evil 7 set in Detroit. I wish they tied the decay of Detroit a little better into the theme I’m looking forward to this directors work though. He’s pretty talented. Like Jordan Peele, another sketch comedy alumni. Comedy and horror are strange bedfellows

[@luxaeterna8170]

I saw it tonight. WOW!!!! It was a cool experience. I love that there was no CGI. Character development was fantastic and it took a few twists that weren't easy to figure out right away. I like that it took it's time building tension, but I do think the overall run length was it's achilles heel if it had one. 3/5 stars!!!!

Phenomenal review! I saw this last night and it was sooo creepy! The people under the stairs is one of the scariest movies I remember from my childhood. Also, I will watch y’all’s videos with or without spoilers, before or after the movie, or if I won’t ever even see the movie either, I don’t care! Love you guys! ❤❤❤

[@emilymurdoch6713]

I went in blind and it was excellent. It's rare that a horror movie will creep me out these days but this one did it.

[@RachelParker-1977]

This movie gave me severe anxiety! It is a very good horror movie. It's the first horror movie that I've seen in the theater, which makes it much more intense. I picked up on the Josef Fritzl reference. The trailer is wonderful, because it doesn't give anything away.

Love in the Villa (Netflix) also has that double-booked gimmick. Barbarian is scheduled to open this weekend at the local theater. Sounds great!

[@AuthorCertifiedGoof]

Just got home from the theater seeing this and it’s one of my favorite movies of the year for sure! It’s sick and twisted and brilliant! You said that none of the men seem to be able to do the right thing, but I’d argue that Keith does. He refuses to let her phone for another place to stay out in her car, he goes out to her car to get her stuff and he gives her the bed by taking the couch.

[@WThomas]

What’s a wacked ending!!! So how did the house ended up getting listed on Airbnb and Homeaway? That question was never answered.

Can't wait to see this - will come back and finish this video at a later time!

[@sickleweed3270]

ooh can't wait to check this one out! Thanks for the review, have a wonderful day, gentlemen!

[@elenabarbieri1286]

The plot and setting remind me a lot of the manga "Hideout" by Masasumi Kakizaki, amazingly drawn and bone chilling read, whoever liked Barbarian should definitely give it a try

[@Deepfriedpajamas02]

When Justin long character (AJ) was on the phone with property manager who sold it to both parties, the lady said the house hasn’t been occupied for two weeks . I thought that was weird . Any thoughts ? Was she in on it in some kind of way ?

[@laceyace181]

I assumed it had been weeks since the last renter was supposed to be gone.

[@nastee10]

I enjoyed this movie, but the discisions of these characters very nearly ruined it for me. I realize that bad decisions are a tried and true horror movie trope, but this movie takes it to another level completely! There were certain times when I thought this movie was almost a parody of horror movies, but it kept a serious and straight faced tone throughout. You can try to explain the commentary on gender rolls all you want, THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL ANY LONE PERSON VOLUNTARILY GOES BACK INTO THAT HOUSE AND THOSE UNDERGROUND PASSAGEWAYS AS MANY TIMES AS SHE DID!!

[@jfklsw1298]

Some people are just kind hearted, I understand a lot of people wouldn’t do it but she knew what living in those conditions was like. She saw someone get murdered by the Mother and wanted to help, the realistic part was the fact was that she was so hesitant and did the most logical thing while trying to help, except the part where she followed Keith into the tunnels

[@vanndiggity]

This movie was retarded, they never explained how the house was double booked! She was trying to die the whole time. So was Keith, he just decided to walk down a dungeon hallway

[@juliaagustin2778]

Pretty solid movie, And more funnier than I thought it was going to be

[@alltookayla]

will you guys pleaseeee review pearl?? Cannot wait!

[@nhenry76]

My pet peeve of this movie is that no one reported Tess missing? She has apparently been down there for a couple of weeks. The employer warned her about the area but she never looked for her again? Friends & family back home? 'Marcus' was blowing up her phone when she 1st arrived. No one reported her missing??? Also, all she had to do was tell the cops Hey my name is Tess ... look me up I should have a missing person's report.. I hated how that played out with the cops not believing her or taking her seriously, that was stupid. Also, I hate when Joseph hasn't seen the movie your reviews aren't as eventfu or entertainingl lol we need him to see all the movies too add his quips😁🥰

[@Necrow_Productions]

It is too bad that this "movie" has two plot holes that makes this "movie" impossible to believe that this could EVER happen!

[@margagomezcomedy]

two last things - Joseph didn't watch this? Wondering why. After thinking about it - I really don't know any woman who would hear a strange sound in a strange house and not get out of the house. Same thing for Keith. Their cars are right outside.

I just saw this and I walked away like this is crazy. I love the way you two make some sense out of these movies. You forgot about the scene when they flashed back to the past and showed the rapist/killer beginnings.

[@margagomezcomedy]

Just watched it - WOW- Now I'm getting your take. Loved this movie - lots of surprises- the lady mutant - reminds me of rec. and the ring. PLUS - Tess would only need to tell the cops to google her social media to prove her identity. And GET OUT OF THE house Tess. And why do they keep going to to the basement... and to the basements basement.

[@ttetruth]

The scene with keith in the tunnel is truely terrifying !!

[@kristenkalinowski2551]

[@brettmarkwell9672]

My question is - who was managing the bookings? Long calls his agent and she said there are none but yet there are two? Did I miss the explanation for that?

[@laceyace181]

The agent said the last renter left weeks ago. So Tess had been trapped down there for a couple weeks before Justin long showed up.

I'm proud of you for not watching this if you don't feel safe. It's IDEAL in point, but I love your controlled description despite this. Barbarian had the markers of a great H.P.
