Netflix just added one of the sickest and most original horror films of recent years.

‘Barbarian’ is making its way to other platforms after its exclusive run on Disney+.

A gloomy, oppressive, and vile setting, punctuated by a straightforward and easily recognizable beginning and a narrative structure that cleaves the tale in two. Just a few years ago, this film—made by 20th Century Studios—which was formerly Fox and is now owned by Disney—arrived here exclusively through its platform, bypassing theaters despite its stellar performance in the US. It features these and other traits. ‘Barbarian’ is now available on Netflix.

A young woman’s journey to Detroit for a job interview starts with a seemingly ordinary event: she rents a place to spend the night. Unbeknownst to her, the property is in a mostly deserted neighborhood and is really double booked—a mysterious man is sleeping there—when she gets there in the middle of the night. They appear to be correct and have the legal right to stay in the house, so she chooses to spend the night with them instead of going to a hotel, even though they are total strangers. It is merely the beginning of a nightmare that will not unfold in the manner one would anticipate.

Especially because a new figure whose tale is connected to the house will be introduced shortly after the plot takes a turn. The end product has elements of both urban horror and stories about haunted places, although it is not strictly either. This stylistic mashup is the brainchild of Zach Gregger, the film’s director and screenwriter. Gregger got his start in the industry writing comedies, but he made his directorial debut with “Barbarian” and, thanks to the popularity of that picture, will keep moving through the genre.

‘Barbarian’ manages to stay on track, even when it flirts with clichés, because of the outstanding performance of the actors. The first half is helmed by Georgina Campbell and Bill Skarsgård, who are famous for their roles as Pennywise in the two ‘It’ films and Nosferatu in Robert’s upcoming adaptation Eggers, which we will see later this year. Justin Long, who is usually seen in comedic roles but excels in this creepy atmosphere, takes center stage in the second half of the film. ‘Barbarian’ is a nightmare in a box that takes all the strangeness out of a strangely familiar setting, so it’s best to go into it blind.

The article has been revised to reflect the latest additions to Netflix’s library. *An asterisk denotes new additions.

Movie buffs still seek out scary content on streaming providers long after Halloween has over. Adding to its already remarkable library of horror films, Netflix keeps up a consistent production of original movies throughout the Halloween season and beyond.

We ranked the finest Netflix Original horror shows after watching as many of them as could be managed. Two things about prerequisites. To begin with, it must feature the instantly recognizable Netflix boom-boom title card. This means that shows like Under the Shadow, which Netflix acquired but does not yet consider a “Netflix property” for various reasons, do not meet this requirement. Second, a horror film is required. Hold the Dark, Rebirth, and Spectral are among the thrillers and sci-fi action films that we will not be including. Therefore, in no particular order, here are the top eighteen original horror films on Netflix.

Even though it’s not technically a horror film, this unexpectedly entertaining Adam Sandler original could be the perfect way to kick off your Christmas movie marathon… The comedic superstar dons yet another ridiculous voice for the role of Hubie Dubois, a social outcast from Salem, Massachusetts. Despite being the town’s laughing stock, he ends up becoming its savior as strange happenings begin to take place. Despite the often terrible quality of Sandler’s Netflix films, this one manages to be charming and humorous. Kevin James, Steve Buscemi, and Julie Bowen, who co-starred with Sandler in Happy Gilmore, are among the many members of the Sandler comedy group that appear in it.

There was a sequel made to McG’s 2017 horror comedy because of the cult following it gained after its Netflix debut. It helps that Ready or Not has catapulted Samara Weaving to stardom. As Bee, a caring babysitter who seems to have an early infatuation on Cole, a 12-year-old boy, she is also the show-stopper. The object of Cole’s teenaged love, Bee, turns out to be the leader of a demonic cult when he wakes up one night to see what she does after he goes to bed. An absurdist comedy-horror mashup featuring a strong turn from Weaving, this film is just what you need on a Halloween night. (Remember: You can also watch the subpar sequel on Netflix.)

Even if most of the genre movies that Netflix released in October 2019 were forgettable, writer-director Vincenzo Natali’s film stood out. Based on a short tale written by Stephen King and his son Joe Hill, The Cube tells the story of two siblings, played by Laysla De Oliveira and Avery Whitted, who overhear a little child pleading for assistance in a sparsely populated field by a rural road.

They rush into the weeds in an attempt to save the youngster, but they soon realize their mistake. The filmmaker probably brought some visual strength from his work on Hannibal, and there’s a hilarious performance from Patrick Wilson. The idea is good, but Natali writes it a little too heavily.

This offering, a ghost story that abruptly turns into something more like to torture porn in the latter act, remains in the “Yeah, it’s okay” category. Florence Pugh gives a believable, in-the-moment performance; she was a breakout star in Little Women and Don’t Worry Darling, but her work here is what really makes the film stand out before that.

Here she and her brother play the role of a ghostbuster, scamming unsuspecting victims out of their money as her brother learns the truth about the existence of some spirits. Although the film’s latter act is a disaster, Pugh’s performance in the opening hour makes it worthwhile to watch.

Although it’s more of an action flick than a horror film, this astute comedy yet features enough gore to be considered a horror film. With credits that include Transformers, The Expendables, John Wick, Avatar: The Way of Water, the Fast and the Furious films, and countless more, stunt coordinator J.J. Perry is rightfully considered one of the all-time greats. Bud Jablonski, played by the brilliant Jamie Foxx, is an average Los Angeles pool cleaner who doubles as an undercover vampire hunter in his first feature film. Bud is re-enlisted in the vampire-hunting union due to financial constraints.

He is accompanied by Dave Franco’s pencil pusher character, who offers some welcome comic relief. However, it is the action sequences—which feature an appearance by horror movie legend Scott Adkins—that truly elevate this delightfully campy horror comedy. That is, until you get to the action sequences and Snoop Dogg completely steals the show.

Netflix just added one of the sickest and most original horror films of recent years.
