Barbarian

Zach Cregger's Barbarian opened two very big doors. One leads down to a network of underground tunnels full of untold horrors (if you know, you know).

"If you go to a theater, you will scream, you will laugh, you will have a blast. "I was hoping it was going to get released on a streaming platform and then hopefully people would find it over the next couple of years." I’m not saying that you won’t have a good time watching it at home, but you want to go on a roller coaster at a theme park, not on virtual reality goggles. "I went over to his house and he gave me a ton of advice on inevitable issues that I could expect to encounter on my first feature," he recalled. "I think it's the truth that you probably haven't seen a movie like this," the writer-director said of the movie's profound cultural impact. That's exactly what the burgeoning filmmaker intends to do as he chips away at two new projects — one of which is "a horror movie" that is "way weirder than Barbarian," the writer-director revealed during an interview with Empire for the magazine's [final issue of 2022](https://www.greatmagazines.co.uk/empire-december-2022?utm_source=dynamic&utm_medium=bws&utm_campaign=empire_singles&utm_content=empiredecember2022) (now on sale).
