Tess awakes to find her bedroom door open. There is zero chance of a good night’s sleep. When Keith suggests, “Why don’t you just crash here,” a reluctant and put-out Tess decides to stay the night.

Writer and director Zach Cregger taps into that fear and then pours his own nightmare fuel into it with the film Barbarian from 20th Century Studios.In Barbarian, Tess (Georgina Campbell), a young woman in town for a job interview, arrives at her Airbnb rental only to discover that the house has been double-booked and another guest Keith (Bill Skarsgård) is already staying there. The internet is full of real-life Airbnb horrors: spy cameras, secret rooms, and strange hosts. The advent of Airbnb gives horror filmmakers an opportunity to put a modern twist on an old trope. That is the premise of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining and horror classics like The Amityville Horror, The Conjuring, and Insidious. There is something inherently scary about moving into a new place, especially if people have lived in it before, and it comes with not just memories but with “history”.
