Barbarians

Equal parts slow burn uncomfortable dinner party and home invasion. Doesn't always work but it's a fun ride. I thought the dinner/family drama was the least interesting part about it, but it's quite effective as a horror film, though it takes too much time to get there. Technically, it's a well-made film. The cinematography is nice in places and both soundtrack and score amp up scenes. It's nice to see Tom Cullen here and the male lead is cute but he can really get on my nerves. His character is the dumbest and no character in here is that well fleshed out, and that eventually ruin the family drama part for me. It loses quite a lot of steam and feels aimless but once it reaches that third act it is undeniably awesome! It's funny how the masked invaders have more personality than the main characters.

There was the potential for something better here. Despite an unnerving start featuring an injured fox, this rarely does much else to stand apart from the countless other home invasion movies that have come before it.

It was an ok watch. Nothing too special with this home invasion type movie.

It was pretty rubbish. The best bit was [spoiler] Iwan Rheon's character trying to shoo a 90% dead fox out of the kitchen [/spoiler], the rest of it was just dull.
