For example, in his Variety review, Peter Debruge refers to the film as new horror classic:
To Cregger’s credit, the sense of fear he creates is the stuff the very best horror movies are made of. For female audiences, this equates to a real-world fear of not #MeToo victimization, and then surprises us with a whole different kind of terror.
Megan Navarro also celebrates Barbarian in her Bloody Disgusting review as one of the biggest surprises of the year:
Creggers carefully observes humanity through its best and worst, creating a visceral horror film. All the rules are thrown out the window, resulting in a confrontational and chilling film that like a freight train hits you and takes your breath away. It’s cleverly written, well done, and has a fantastic cast dedicated to madness. More importantly, it’s the kind of violent, ruthless, gory horror that leaves its mark. When is Barbarian opening in Germany?
Unfortunately, we cannot answer the most important question for you. Barbarian has not yet had a German theatrical release. After the US hype, an appointment shouldn’t be too long in coming.
