Upon first hearing about Barbarian, directed by Zach Cregger and featuring a cast of rising talent including Georgina Campbell, Bill Skarsgård, and the ever-charismatic Justin Long, my expectations were tinged with both skepticism and curiosity. Advertised as a horror thriller that cleverly plays with audience perceptions, I delved into it with the hope that it would be a fresh take on a genre I hold dear. As its premise unfolds—the story of a woman whose Airbnb is double-booked by a stranger—I wondered how deep its themes would cut and whether it could provide more than just frights in narrow corridors.

The holiday season! A time for joy, laughter, and that delightful mix of cinnamon and pine scent wafting through the air. This year, I’ve curated a Christmas movie list that’s as quirky as a reindeer on roller skates.

This comparison delves into the "Terrifier" trilogy, exploring the evolution of horror through its three installments: "Terrifier" (2016), "Terrifier 2" (2022), and "Terrifier 3" (2023). Each film serves as a continuation of the last, requiring viewers to start with the first installment to fully grasp the character arcs, narrative development, and thematic depth that unfold throughout the series.

“Terrifier 2,” directed by Damien Leone, is a bold and uncompromising sequel that expands upon the cult success of 2016’s Terrifier.
