Stateside, IFC Films has released a trailer for Barbarians, a genre film we caught last year at Fantastic Fest. This one stars Iwan Rheon (Game of Thrones), Catalina Sandino Moreno (Maria Full of Grace), Tom Cullen (Weekend) and Inès Spiridonov (Seuls), and is written and directed by Charles Dorfman.
Here’s the synopsis:
Set over the course of twenty-four hours, BARBARIANS sees couple Adam (Rheon) and Eva (Moreno) wake up in their supposed dream house on Adam’s birthday. Lucas (Cullen), property developer and friend of the couple, arrives for dinner with his actress girlfriend Chloe (Spiridonov), to celebrate Adam’s birthday and the couple’s buying of the house. But secrets unravel over dinner, and when the doorbell rings the evening takes a nightmarish turn. As manners give way to madness, an ‘idyllic’ evening of celebration descends into a dark night of terror; and the group’s civilised dinner party turns out to be anything but.
We said the following of the film:
A dynamite script, some clever plot devices, and a stellar cast, combine to create a thrilling debut feature.
You can read the full review here. Barbarians will open in the US on 1st April with a UK release still TBC.
