Oppressive first 40 minutes
The first part of Barbaric It’s one of the scariest things that horror cinema has offered us in recent years. When Tess discovers the basement entrance to the house, we find ourselves immersed survival under tensionwhich reminds us of something very disturbing REC by Jaume Balaguero released in 2008. Without revealing too much, the feature film surprises and uses the codes of horror to better test the spectators’ nerves.
After a particularly tiring first 40 minutes, Barbaric he suddenly changes point of view, in an about-face that takes time before hanging the wagons in irons. The second part of the film is more classic in its outcome, and sometimes borders on the grotesque in its revelation.
But only for its first part, it is highly recommended for fans of the genre!
