Barbarian

In town for a job interview, a young woman arrives at her Airbnb late at night only to find that it 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 guest.

    Enjoyable hit
    I simply quite enjoyed this movie. Having Bill casted was a great bait and he did not disappoint as usual.

    The story was a bit slow in the beginning and i felt uninterested for the most of it. The halfway switch kinda ruined the vibe for me, seemed like they switched writers mid way, and the new dude was such a pain in the ass!

    Monster Lady had a cool concept, very different from what i've seen before and i liked it! Even though i enjoyed the movie i felt like something was missing, and let's not get started on the filming.... Disappointed with the ending as well but i personally enjoy a bad ending more than a happy one.

    Overall; Easy watch, didn't feel like a waste of time which was nice for a change.

    Awful
    It starts off ok but then descends in to a complete mess. Full of stupid character decisions through out and unrealistic reactions and interactions from people.

    Like for instance a character finds out where the main character is staying early on in the film and warns her not to stay there. She doesn't ask why, even after the person she's talking to says not to stay there like 3 times. She just states she's "tough" and she's ok there.

    And the plot goes nowhere. The #metoo subtext it gives off constantly doesn't amount to much in the end as once again it all boils down to men bad - women strong and innocent. Its complete nonsense.

    How this is rated as high as it is baffles me. I guess modern horror audiences take what they're given these days and are easily pleased watching absolute dribble like this. Don't waste your time.
