Netflix’s Newest Horror Movie Has One of the Most Shocking Twists in Decades

by

This weekend, Netflix unveiled a fresh batch of movies, refreshing its collection much like it does every month. As June began, some heavy-hitters bid farewell, but an array of exciting newcomers stepped in to usher in the new month with flair. Among these new entries is a horror flick that’s been generating buzz as one of the genre’s most thrilling and unpredictable offerings in recent memory.

The movie we’re discussing is titled “Barbarian,” a 2022 horror production directed by debutant Zach Cregger. This film features Georgina Campbell, Bill Skarsgård, and Justin Long in lead roles. Despite not creating a massive stir at the box office upon its release three years ago, “Barbarian” quickly gained a dedicated fanbase through word of mouth. The primary cause for the buzz surrounding “Barbarian” post-release was an unexpected twist that occurred when least anticipated, catching audiences off guard and offering a film experience that felt genuinely unique.

Without giving away the surprise, let me say that if you haven’t watched “Barbarian” yet, it’s best to go in blind. The movie doesn’t hold back on delivering unexpected twists even before reaching its climax. In fact, when you think you have a grasp of what’s happening, “Barbarian” will leave you utterly baffled and possibly picking your jaw off the floor.

It seems that the movie “Barbarian” has been swiftly gaining a new fanbase among Netflix users. Its immediate success, evident by its high rankings, places it as one of the most-watched films on the platform, only two days after its release. On Tuesday’s edition of Netflix Top 10 Movies list, “Barbarian” ranks third overall.

If you haven’t caught Barbarian yet, it’s definitely worth your time, particularly since it’s currently streaming on Netflix. What makes this even more enticing is that Zach Cregger’s follow-up film, Weapons, is slated for release in theaters in August.
