Barbarian will soon stream on HBO Max

polygon.com:

Zach Cregger’s horror film Barbarianis coming to streaming services just in time for Halloween.

The movie will be released on Oct. 25 on HBO Max. The digital release will happen alongside a 4k Ultra HD release, which will include bonus scenes, behind-the-scenes footage, and additional commentary, per Variety.

Barbarian follows Tess Marshall (Georgina Campbell), a young woman who arrives at an Airbnb in the outskirts of Detroit only to discover that the rental has already been booked by a man named Keith (Bill Skarsgård). After considering the options, Tess decides to spend the night, and eventually finds a dark secret lurking within the house.

Formerly of the sketch comedy group The Whitest Kids U’ Know, this marks Zach Cregger’s directorial debut. In Polygon’s Barbarian review, we noted that the movie is about the horror of discovering “where your sympathies ultimately lie,” and it’s best viewed by someone who doesn’t know what’s coming (so maybe avoid spoilers until then).
