Barbarian was wild. I had no idea what I was in for, my cousin just said “Check this one out” last Halloween. That movie had so many good moments. The sheer tonal whiplash once the tapemeasure gets broken out. 😂 And we were all in the living room screaming “That would TOTALLY HAPPEN TOO!”

I love when scary movies know how to manage and pace their tone. They can be scary without drowning the viewer in so much grimdark it becomes a comedy accidentally.

That’s so crazy cool that of all those movies I listed, I meet a Pandorum fan! It’s been ages since I’ve seen it, but it left an impression. I really liked your FanTheories writeup! But also I should really give it another watch with my matured brain and see what I missed the last couple times. I almost kinda like how…the plot is REALLY grim, but only when you really connect all the breadcrumbs.

The movie itself I remember being rather straightforward and exciting, (even with that Act 2 expo-dump), where the plot doesn’t completely screw you up and abandon all hope unless you really start analyzing it lol.

That’s why I liken it to Deadspace…That’s a grim and awful world to inhabit…but wow is it still such a WILD ride that I’m willing to do it again.
