Barbarian (2022)



Released September 9th in the US.
Filmed in Bulgaria, Michigan, and California...
The story: Tess is a young woman looking to make a new start.
She has rented some time at an Airbnb to be close to her latest job interview.
When she arrives, she finds the key is not in the lockbox.
While waiting for the agent who rented to her call, Tess sees a light turn on inside the house.
She knocks at the door to find Keith, who claims to have also rented the Airbnb...
Tess is completely suspicious of Keith and the situation while Keith does the very best he can to try to help.
After some time of chatting and finding they have a lot in common, Tess warms up to Keith.
The next day she goes on her interview and is advised to get out of the neighborhood she is currently staying in.
Tess shrugs that off, considering Keith is staying with her, she feels she has nothing to worry about.
When she returns to the Airbnb she notices, as she did on her way to her interview, that all the surrounding homes where she's staying are abandoned.
Tess is then chased into the house by a random man running her way, calling to her - which scares the daylights out of her.
She calls the police but no one comes out.
After a while, she gets her composure back.
Tess then makes her way into the basement, where she then finds she has accidentally locked herself into.
After a while, she begins exploring the basement and does not like what she sees.
When Keith returns, he gets her out of the basement but will not exactly listen when she tells him that they need to leave the house, immediately.
Keith insists on checking out the basement himself...
