What if your Airbnb stay turned into your worst nightmare… and then got even worse?


Today on Fantasy for the Ages, Jim dives into one of the most talked-about horror films of recent years — Barbarian. This is a movie that rewards going in blind, so if you haven’t seen it yet, consider that you may want to watch first, then come back! Still, Jim attempts to keep this spoiler-lite, so risk if you dare.


In this review, we break down what makes Barbarian such a standout in modern horror — from its nerve-wracking setup and unforgettable performances to its bold storytelling choices that completely flip expectations. Jim shares why he finally gave this one a shot (thanks to connections with Companion), what surprised him most, and whether it lives up to the hype.


Is this a clever, genre-bending horror gem… or a strange experiment that doesn’t quite land? Let’s talk about it.
