How to watch Barbarian at home – where to stream online

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.

The digital release will also come with some special features, including a “Behind Barbarian” featurette, with Cregger, the cast, and crew discussing both the unique and familiar horror elements that make Barbarian terrifying and reveal the inspiration behind the horrific tale.”

The official synopsis reads: “Arriving in Detroit for a job interview, a young woman books a rental home. But when she arrives late at night, she discovers that the house is double booked and a strange man is already staying there.

“Against her better judgment, she decides to spend the evening, but soon discovers that there’s a lot more to fear than just an unexpected house guest.”
