The horror genre has seen its fair share of peaks and valleys over the course of its history, but 2022 has undoubtedly been a absolute mountain range, from Jordan Peele’s Nope making for a third triumphant bow in just as many directorial efforts, to Ti West launching himself to new heights with X and Pearl, and A24 further capitalizing on such commotion with the likes of Bodies Bodies Bodies.
But it’s Zach Cregger’s solo directorial debut in Barbarian that can lay claim to the peaks of the peaks; with the film’s witty writing, masterful twists, and intriguing commentary on gender and the way it plays into dichotomies of domination, Cregger can pat himself on the back for years after this one.
