“The dark scenes in ‘Barbarian’ are not fun to look at, and your strong heartbeat will agree with that.” (Roger Ebert)

“This movie is extremely fun. It’s scary and funny, in addition to presenting several surprises. The birth of a new cult classic.” (NYC Movie Guru)
“Cregger takes a sinister idea and turns it into a terrifying horror tale, taking audiences by surprise with each shocking twist.” (Paste Magazine)
