Genre: Comedy/Mystery
Director: Tom George
Cast: Sam Rockwell, Saoirse Ronan, Harris Dickinson, Adrien Brody, Ruth Wilson, Shirley Henderson, David Oyelowo

For roughly two-thirds of its 100-minute running length, Barbarian is a top-notch excursion into the dark, twisty tunnels and catacombs of a mystery-cum-monster movie.
