Barbarian Cast and Crew Check You Into the Airbnb From Hell

One of the most hotly-anticipated horror titles of 2022 has quickly become this weekend’s Barbarian, a modestly-budgeted contained thriller that has built up the kind of advanced word-of-mouth most films can only dream to get. Part of the appeal has been early viewers imploring audiences to go into the film as cold as possible, and…

Nope Review: Jordan Peele’s Intense New Thriller

Jordan Peele’s third film, Nope, is another intense thriller, full of context, theme, and flourish. Comparisons to Steven Spielberg or John Carpenter are accurate; Peele uses similar tricks and skills to entertain, frighten, and captivate audiences.
