It was the breakthrough film for a now iconic director.

Our TV movie pick for tonight (Saturday, 31 October) is Barbarian, the brilliant 2022 horror thriller from writer-director Zach Cregger (the Oscar-winning Weapons, Resident Evil).

The film begins with Tess (Georgina Campbell, Bird Box Barcelona) checking into an Airbnb in Detroit the evening before a job interview, only to find it has been double-booked. Hitting it off with the other renter, Keith (Bill Skarsgård, Nosferatu), he suggests they both share the space.

A string of strange occurrences, however, leads Tess to doubt whether Keith is as kind as he seems.

To reveal any more about the story would do readers a disservice. That's because Barbarian's terrifically twisty, unpredictable, and dark plot is the main reason to seek out the movie.

Watch the trailer for Barbarian right here:

On top of this, though, the movie boasts great performances (including from Dodgeball's Justin Long), a string of absolutely nerve-wrackingly tense sequences, and moments of laugh-out-loud black comedy.

Barbarian is airing on TV tonight on Film4 at 11.50pm. It's also available to rent on Apple TV, Google Play, Prime Video, and Rakuten TV.
