7.0 
7.8In town for a job interview, a young woman arrives at her Airbnb late at night only to find that her rental has been mistakenly double-booked and a strange man is already staying there. Against her better judgement, she decides to stay the night anyway, but soon discovers that there is much more to be afraid of in the house than the other house guest.

4 / 5
Translated from swedish: A brilliantly crafted nightmare where the film takes unexpected directions. And be prepared for the movie to be downright insane with a bizarre and disturbing story to say the least, though it also has a touch of dark humor. At times it's also violent with some explicit splatter, which might turn off some viewers. Regardless, I think it's hard to argue against the film's smart narrative structure, which just like for the main characters, leads the audience into an evil, terrifying and sick world.

Translated from swedish: A charmingly nasty little journey into darkness and one of the year's better horror films.

4 / 5
Translated from swedish: I loved all the different twists and turns the movie took. I thought it was going to turn out to be one thing, then something completely different, and then yet another thing entirely. I really dug that. Because the film kept the tension and unease going throughout.

Translated from swedish: Frightened women dismissed as hysterical are nothing unusual in horror films. That's precisely why Barbarian demonstrates how skillfully the genre can be utilized to portray trauma.

Translated from swedish: Beyond being generally competent, it has a real appeal, and that is the way it constantly plays with our expectations.

7 / 10
Translated from swedish: The longer the film goes on, the more disgusting it becomes - but it constantly balances perfectly between horror, thriller and some kind of disgusting comedy. The violence comes from seemingly nowhere and then disappears just as quickly. That makes it much more exciting.
- Fredrik LagnetoftSwedish: Review: "Barbarian"

3 / 5
Translated from swedish: Everything comes together in a jerky but interesting, refreshing, and wonderfully bonkers exercise in style.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: Most of what's in this movie we've seen before, and it feels like we're treading familiar ground. But if you have no expectations for the film and want to watch a decent horror flick, then this movie will do just fine!

Translated from swedish: Piece by piece the mystery unfolds, and just when we think we know where Gregger is leading us, it takes off in yet another new direction, into a labyrinth of dark twists and monsters we never saw coming.
