Barbarian, one of the best horror movies of 2022, has become a surprise hit – and soon, you’ll be able to watch it from the comfort of your own home, so here’s what you need to know about its release date and where to stream it.
While other, bigger movies have failed to perform at the box office (Morbius, Fantastic Beasts 3, Amsterdam), horror has been thriving, whether it’s X, its prequel Pearl, Nope, or Scream.
Barbarian, the new film from Zach Cregger, was produced for just $4 million. Already, it’s managed to gross $38.2 million – and that’s without the help of a theatrical release in other major markets. You can read our review here.
