BARBARIAN (2022) Ending Explained 

Same me and my sister thought that he was evil until he got killed. He was just an awkward man. I feel so bad for doubting him

I never saw him die, what happened to him? He screamed but that was it.

@@macafe7160 the inbred lady in the tunnels smashed his head violently against a rock how did you miss that lol

@@deuceb1069 / They showed her get hit by a truck thrown off a tower and shot in the face. U never know who's really dead. I thought the girl was dead to bc she was down there for a few weeks but boom she popped back up and also got shot and thrown off a tower and was still alive. That's why I wasn't sure.

@@macafe7160 fair enough

posterchild frat boy who’s never had consequences for his actions

@@litneyloxan The common. "If you apologize it'll make it all better"

But actually he never truly admits his mistakes

"irredeemable" ppl like u shouldnt be watching movies bruh

Yeah after he throws her, he says that *she* slipped, *she* let go

I straight up laughed watching that. It was they casted a Completely director for the last 20 minutes

Its kind of a "who is the real monster here?" situation.

It’s like Happy Mother’s Day/International Women’s Day wrapped into one 😅

I felt so bad for the “monster” in this movie. When she booped that girls nose at the end right before getting shot, I was like “oh nooooooo!” and laughing because it was so absurdly sad.

@@Spidey1996pretty sure the real monster is the serial rapist who made a superhuman incest baby in his basement 😂

Something I find interesting though is he sees women as needing protection and even though it seem like it's coming from a good place it puts him above her as the guardian or guider. He realizes she is fearful at first but ends up trying to teach her there is nothing really to fear. He doesn't really see her fear for him for what it is as she could easily be killed or worse if it had been someone else trying to convince her to stay. When she says there is something dangerous in the house he does not take her seriously enough to just leave and insists he needs to see it for himself. If he saw her as more of an equal he might have listened and allowed them both to escape. It's s huge trope for men not to think women are overreacting in horror films and I really like how the film used a kind character to show you don't have to have bad intentions to harm someone through your own biases.

@@kateely4374 Good catch. As a guy, that's a detail that went past my head. Definitely is food for thought for myself as i have had a tendency in the past to feel like i need to be a guardian.

​@@kateely4374 A males instinct IS to protect.

​@@kateely4374 You realize it's not that deep, right?

​@@kateely4374 not that deep

They needed you in the writing room ma'am

The scene could end with those two cops looking at each other like 😯

Along with Keith's body.

Along with the mother milk feeding video in the violet lit room still playing.

Maybe it'll have a sequel about other victims in a further off part of the tunnels

Shut his ass up real quick 🤣😂

The fact she just koolaid manned her way in the area was even funnier

@@pedriasr Oh no, oh no, oh no. Mother: OH YEAH!!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣girll yess

Really this man has never heard "You better knock on wood for that one".... although had he done that, she woulda knocked his ass tf OUUUUTTT when she came *bursting* through the wall Kool-aid man style. She sadly forgot the whole "0hHhH yEaAaHhHh" 🥴 She even coulda hit em w a "FURK YESH" or ya know....whatever she could mumble/pronounce 😬

And despite that he still doesn’t change, garbage person.

Bruh ain’t nobody deserve that treatment

@@styxrakash4639 Being forced to breastfeed is worse than RAPE to you?

@@styxrakash4639nah rapists deserve the worst

​@@styxrakash4639oh he did

I've watched this movie four times ( had to show all my friends ) and I think that's what he did as well. Once he was officially found out, he just took the easy way out.

@@yangofice8361 yeah he wasn’t asking for that desk again until Justin’s character brought up the police, man started stressing and pointing at it again

he probably wanted to do it a long time ago but was so weak he couldn't reach the gun so he had his opportunity there

@@yangofice8361 yo I watched it 3 times, had to show my people too lmao. thought it was too good to miss!

Oh definitely

My dude was measuring his own grave but thought he found a gold mine.

lol that part was funny

⁠@@agentsmidt3209 j bjj both tess and aj were dumb idiots who were digging their own grave

Very true

Yes

No he hasn't. He was the worst part of this movie.

​@@shrikartummala8055 lol

Ever since jeepers creepers

to be fair THAT guy was way worse than her he was raping and murdering all these girls and recorded it! he’s a monster

Right

I wonder if he had learned about Frank’s past and he meant more from the fact that Frank was a far worse morally

holyyyyy i know this theory is a bit of a reach but if they ever want to do prequels or sequels...hire this commenter!

Pretty sure he was just referring to Frank. “Worse” not in a sense that he’s technically more dangerous, but definitely more evil

I also think it’s interesting the contrast between the main character arriving to the Airbnb and Justin Long arriving the contrast

@@bobgunter9608 what do you mean by "arriving the contrast?"

@@MMAFightMagazine i think they mean its the complete opposite of what is usually expected upon their arrival in the movie

also watching it i cant say i noticed any great size difference between everyone else and franks daughter/great granddaughter(?). but know listening and seeing quite a bit of reviews descriptions keep referring to her as: "huge" "giant" "big" "sizeable".

@@MMAFightMagazine well, when we are introduced to AJ, we see him driving in the sun, happy go lucky in his car with cheerful music and his first impression is that he seems like a fun guy. When in fact he is not, he is a really bad guy. When we are introduced to Keith, its complete opposite. A stranger in the night, tension, all red flags showing etc. But Keith is a good guy. Thats the contrast for me at least.

I have a basement window just like that too slightly traumatized especially her dirty..breasts oh and the bottle ugh god

If this movie was scary to y’all you need to watch The Hills have eyes & wrong turn I’m sure that’ll throw any fear that you have from this movie in the pits of hell where it should reside

@@sakisosa neither of those were even close to as scary as this movie was lol

@@sakisosa seen those. Hhe is a scary concept but the camera work sucks, sets are cool but alot happens during the day and that sucks. and its a pretty old movie. Even I am legend is more scary and suspenseful, and thats not even a true horror. This movie is great and I recommend Quarantine

That was a very well done scene, I’ll commit this to my list of best truly creepy scenes in movies, my most fondly remembered recent being the nun painting scene from the conjuring 2. As well as the scene in Hereditary where she turns the light out in her mothers item room and her mothers silhouette is standing silently in the corner

I was thinking the same thing. It was all so scary but this aspect was the most horrifying because it's real and happens so often.

Then idk.. don't go out late and stay home?

Something similar did happen before. Look up Joseph Friztl. Though I warn you, it’s messed up. People like this exist, and if someone has been caught, there are probably many out there lurking in the shadows. The scariest horror is done in real life.

I’m not gone lie frank was a piece of 💩. His death wasn’t satisfying enough because I believe he deserved more

Don’t let the government get away with Jeffery Epstein

Honestly, if there were more characters, I could have easily imagined it as a TV show with each characters perspective having a 40 minute episode

I agree. I liked it

Agreed

@@koheikyoujihopefully the directors have a prequel movie/S in store for us

Same it was unique cinematography for a horror movie, haven’t seen that before

Nah. No red balloons in the house.

I dont like how they killed him immediately 😭 justin for Bill

The way I saw Bill’s character was someone that was socially awkward, but ultimately harmless. In that one scene where he’s making the tea, the way he acts is similar to someone not knowing social cues and realizing that he may freak out Tess because she wasn’t watching him make the tea

He died though?

@@sammeyphammey349 He did.

people overhyping it (I mean its good but I give it 7.5/10) to end and back. Like yes, I get all the messages....but STILL doesn't make the characters any less stupid or infuriating to sit through. Them: But the social commentary! They're supposed to be like that!! Me: Yes I know, but still doesn't mean they're less irritating. Them: That's because you aren't thinking deep enough! Me: Oh I thought deep enough, they're all just dumb asf people still and apparently incest gives you super strength....whatever....despite MOST LIKELY being caged up most of her childhood and really only being allowed to walk around once he got too old to R word her. The movie is HEAVILY banking on me believing not a single person rented that AirBnB since those 2 showed up.....and the AirBnB company is just ignoring why their place is using more electricity than usual when no one is around....ALRIGHT Them: Oh you're thinking too much into it Me: B-but you literally told me that I wasn't thinking deep enough DX?!?!?

I agree 👍

Agreed before I finished this video here I paused it and watched the movie with little to no information and the twists were actually a decent twist. I feel like that’s been hard to accomplish with horror movies nowadays

I heard pretty good reviews about it so i had a bit high expectations going into it but i only saw the trailer once so i didn't knew that much and boy was i surprised

It was overhyped like crazy for me, I thought it was a good film but left feeling disappointed cause I was expecting the bEsT FiLm oF tHe YeAr 🥲

Yes, Budget was only 5 million which is extremely low for movies these days. Goes to show a good plot can speak for itself.

Yeah maybe it was just meant as a silly reference. I had no idea! And it was Keith’s! 😂

No more superhero films lol im getting tired of em, give some original ideas

@@TheRealBatCave R rated, bloody, violent superhero movies is a completely untapped market. You're tired of superhero movies because of A: Disney, and B: almost all super hero movies are fucking PG-13. Both Venom movies got fucked by being reduced to PG-13. The second Venom movies should've been rated R.

Shut up

@@iraqifoodcart8447 The Boys and Invincible exist and people love it because it's different everyone is trying to take the MCU route nowadays and even Disney is ruining it rn with most of phase 4 being mid or trash

What... There's so many holes like why did the doors close by there self (main thing I have issue with) it not just the basement. Don't she get locked in the bathroom or something idk. Then wouldn't there have been a lot of them down there. You saw all the tapes. It takes a couple generations to get mess up. And wth just bc she was a freak don't mean you get super powers.

It’s because she was a woman. The whole theme is essentially “men are trash” just in a really good way

@@r3a1itygamezz14 naw even if it was a man. I would feel the same. It clearly has the mentality of a child who wants to be a mom.

@@childelee2569 I meant, that’s the theme of the movie. I’m a man, not even one that subscribes to most modern feminist motions but this movie was expertly done in showcasing the horrific acts of ignorant men. Notice how the mutant feared the father, it’s because he was raping her and reproducing, she is his child and he had abused her, despite her being stronger than him physically (and mentally) he still had a hold over her likely due to the abuse he placed her through. Keith also had a moment where he played a traditional “good guy” man, he was borderline forcing her to subscribe to his acts because he couldn’t live with the idea of her saying no to him. He wouldn’t accept “no” for an answer throughout the movie, he couldn’t let her stay out in the rain, he couldn’t accept that she would stay on the sofa, he couldn’t accept her first answer for not wanting to drink alcohol yet he kept pushing these things onto her as a guise of being a “good guy”. Even when she freaks out and expresses her issues with the place, he doesn’t believe her, he doesn’t even want her to leave without checking it for himself. Playing into the idea of “women survivors” never being believed when they express genuine issues. Now Keith wasn’t necessarily a bad guy, it’s just the idea of internalised misogyny was portrayed by him. The next males were the two cops and notice how both of these characters didn’t believe her or even give her the time of day when she tried to express her concern, once again playing into the idea of “female victims not being heard”. Finally you have Justin Longs character, the most irredeemable character in the series (after the father), he not only sexually assaulted a woman at the beginning but also seemed to brag about it, he couldn’t accept his losses, he always desired power due to feeling weak which is what most abusers are like, he not only wouldn’t listen to the main girl when she tried to suggest ideas to him (subscribes to the idea that men believe better than women) but the minute he had a weapon (power) he abused it and as a result almost harmed someone innocent. He did try to save her but only for his own good not for hers, as we see by his humble brag later on. As if how a “good guy” expects xyz because he is “nice”. When he sacrifices the girl at the end that once again was a showcase for how he viewed women, as beneath him (hence the throwing off the building). The mutant never believed that, she was willing to die to save the daughters life because of the natural loving nature of women (theme of movie). Notice how even in the flashback the store clerk went out of her way to help the disgusting father because that’s the natural love of a mother. She likely killed Keith because he was a man, a man showing aggression towards a woman - shouting at her in the hopes to get away, the mutant being a product of incestuous rap* and a victim of it too used it’s maternal instincts to protect the other woman it saw. At least that’s how I interpreted the movie.

@@r3a1itygamezz14 very good interpretation

@@r3a1itygamezz14 damn that was very good explanation thsnk buddyyy

I absolutely loved that and noticed it too

I think she realized it was too dark when she looked around and that spooked her..

Why didn't the creature attack them while they slept, and what happened to the other houses how did they get destroyed?

You ever seen inner city Detroit? Shit look like Beirut…..

I guess, it's still based on personality. My husband instantly went NOPE about exploring the tunnels - not even because of the potential monster danger, but because of the dangerous mold and fungus that might have accumulated in such a dark and humid environment. And then there is my female BFF who would CERTAINLY poke around in those tunnels with a flashlight, a camera and a bat before noping off and calling the police.

@@pokerface4396 Yeah wouldn't catch me going in those tunnels, or spending the night with a strange woman who just appeared at a building I was suppose to have to myself. Definitely noping out of the whole situation rather than risk my neck.

Bro your boyfriend has no self preservation instincts tf

@@Viper-dz2kw He's 6'9 and built like a linebacker. He probably doesn't have much to worry about, but that doesn't rule out guns, knives, or monsters. I also pointed out that if he was hurt, I physically wouldn't be able to help him, and would probably leave him behind. XD

Now that’s just called having no common sense or no care for your life

It bothers me that Detroit's roaring twenties and the fantastic music that was coming out long before it was the motor city hasn't been made into a movie yet. I realize this has nothing to do with the movie. Also that they let it rot so they could come back and buy it for nothing to gentrify it and make a mint.

But that doesn’t explain the cave troll in the tunnels

@@borger298 The troll (Mother) was Frank's daughter, which was the result of years of incest since Frank used the tunnels to imprison and rape the women he kidnapped. He likely stopped kidnapping women at some point and decided to rape his daughters and their daughters instead, resulting in Mother's birth.

@@borger298 Did you say that when you saw Lord of the Rings? lol jk...

@@borger298 the movie literally explains the "troll" is the product of Frank's r*pes and generational incest

meee

Yea I also, cause there was a bruise or sum on her head so it looked like a headsh*t

Same. We were all caught offgaurd

IKR LMAO

Yeah it was hilarious.

R@pe measure💡😱

​@@KL-zj1iwrape?

he didn't even notice what was in the room lol

😳😂

Right? The fact that she jumped to save her at the risk of losing her own life and then looked at her and comforted her so sweetly while she had the gun pointed right at her head made me feel so sad for her. She might have been a creature that killed people but she wasn't evil.

@@artgirl1339 I think she thought she failed as a mother in that moment trying to save her but failed(thinkin the wound on her was her own cause or indirectly) even tho we know AJ did it.

Tht was the best part because he was my suspect. You know chloroform norm thing but boy was I left field and few decades wrong

Either way, smash.

You girls have some serious daddy issues lmao

@@limpa756 and you must be really fun at parties

@@meatmeatmeatmeatmeatmeatmeatme what did reece say?

Movie would've been better if it was a It: Chapter 3 all along

Her death upset me, Kida hard to kill something that saves ur life. I would have been like "I like you and I appreciate this, but I don't wanna live in a hole and drink milk all day"

@@niropaxum958 exactly!

"Mama" was injured anyway and would be in pain for a while, so it's a double edged sword, you feel bad but not enough to go back

that doesn't seem very likely to me. i don't think frank would've allowed any of his kids to leave the home, i mean a single man suddenly producing several children with no birth certificates isn't exactly discrete lol. even after he was old n incapacitated i don't think they could've, given the secret door is presumably only openable from the outside n also alot of them would be severely inbred like the creature so probably couldn't even talk.

If he was doing a breeding program, i imagine he would have only wanted the best of the group, he probably off-ed the others or made them off themselves and then bred with the ones he deemed suitable

@@Anna-zt3jc If the secret door is only openable from the outside, how did the woman go outside at night?

This shit makes no sense the kids were deform how the fuck were they going to integrate into society this movie has too many fucking holes

@@joedkat fair enough, maybe not that door but defo the camera room n nursery were presumably locked. not to mention the cages which i assume they spent most of their time in

Side note: when looking this up, everyone says it’s Tess’ book and they use it to talk about her character. But I triple checked, and it’s definitely Keith’s book. Also with his nightmares and the organization he founded, would maybe hint that he knew about the tunnels beforehand.

what isthe book about?

It was definitely a give away to the parallels between Tess (Jane) and the inbred woman kept locked away (Bertha mason) & both of their experiences with men and misogyny. It belonging to Keith just seemed funny, like a nod to the 'nice guy' that claims they understand women's' hardships but really don't

Why is it an odd book for a guy to have ? Men can still read lol

i didn't mind the switch midway through, i think after the shock horror of keith getting his head bashed and the revelation of that creature a change of scenary was welcome! great reflection nevertheless lad, enjoyed the read, better than the video tbh

Yes I also noticed that 😂

The comparison to Hell Night, 1981, still applies for me. There was a good guy and a jerk. But the political commentary of the day was the rich frat boy and the scholarship girl finding common ground in spite of their economic backgrounds, and giving it to some measure of compliance to societal norms.

oh ffs, those two (aj and the actress) just had sex, than she regretted it afterwards and decided to fuck him over. if she were against it she would actually try to fight him off

She's the dumbest character of them all. No one would do everything she did in the movie.

I keep recommending it cuz the twist is fun!

That was my exact experience. I remember seeing a commercial for it with Justin Long but I forgot about it. I was pleasantly surprised when he showed up.

That's a great analysis! What's interesting too is that we see it as the role of the woman to be empathetic and help, and would judge Tess if she left Aj or Keith, but the guys in this movie sabotaged Tess' survival frequently with the excuse of "I had to do it" and no thought for her safety.

Wow well done🧡

Not that deep but well done

i love this

It's set in a run down urban house instead of run down Garth Manner, but it has all the tropes of Hell Night, one of the most underrated horror movies from the 80s.

I questioned the same when i saw it, but it's possible that the room's been unused for decades, so it maybe just smelt old and moldy. I also noticed when Aj went into the "nursery" room, that he immediately gagged, so there's that...

@@marlonagostini8633you have to think the room didn’t have a door so probably no smells were trapped inside

idk man police seemed pretty realistic to me

It honestly seemed realistic to me, idk abt the cop part completely bc idk how they act in other states sometimes in situations like this

The cops threw me off the most. They were so unrealistically dismissive that I thought they were part of some bigger conspiracy.

@@marlonagostini8633 I think it is more of an environment situation. The area she was in has tons of drug addicts and homeless people. So they assumed from how she looked, the lack of identification and the story she was saying she too must be one of the many homeless drug addicts in the area. I think their reaction is very realistic within that stand point. And it just shoes how people assumptions of you dictate how serious they are going to take you.

Thats every scary movie

Plot hole :)

Like Tess and Keith mentioned using two different booking services Airbnb and ‘homeaway’ but given it’s a property owned by someone I was wondering who was in charge of maintaining the property and what not

They did have records it's just that Tess and Keith were the last ones there. She was stuck in the tunnels for weeks. There stuff was still there because they said they only clean the house if there is a new booking.

@@hannah_sen_ Ohhhhh good point! I didn't realize how much time had passed between when Tess went into the tunnels and when Rape guy came into the house. I assumed it was a few days, but the phone call was to indicate that weeks had gone by. Totally missed that. Okay that solves that plot hole.

No one cares about the neighborhood or the people in it. They even say as much in the flashback. The house is a honey pot for the cheap and forgotten. Thus its quite easy to have the place on multiple sites. And would be needed to keep the kidnappings up. No plot hole. I can explain further.

It literally does sound like a meet cute

THANK YOU

This is a crazy take lol

@@Orbitinbloom19018 thanks. But it’s a legit fear I suffer from

That actually sounds like a better movie. I saw no twist in this.

It definitely was a comedy more than a thriller. They made every predictable mistake possible. But it's still a movie to watch.

So glad to read this. Watched it with a group of friends and we were killing ourselves laughing once the twist was revealed

I laughed too when she was talking to AJ for the first time and forced him into breastfeeding. It was just so ridiculous.

@@mrdude88 the director is someone new I think that was in comedy acting. He played the voice of one of the chipmunks from "alvin and the chimpmunks movie" lol. I forgot his name and too tired to research X D

@@billabongah Zach Creger. He was the director for a lot of skits in Whitest Kids u Know. This is his first foray into actual movie directing and I think he did fantastic. WKUK was special to me growing up and i was so hyped to see this movie and knew he would do a good job. WKUK is hilarious.

Which one? There were quite a few unexpected twists

@@JupiterDude3000 Mostly the inbred human thing, as i really thought they were gonna just go for "creepy man thats a killer" Especially since the guy (keith) is played by Bill Skarsgard, and he's played multiple antagonist roles.

I hardly call that a twist. The movie started with a woman smashing the guy’s head in, and it ended with us knowing what it was.

There wasn't a twist to this ... At all

@@mrdude88 so you expected a woman to smash a guys head in when Tess went down to the creepy basement?

Still wondering???…

It was definitely the thing that lives underground. Either it was just a plot hole or we missed a minor detailed that might of explained it

@@u-l-t-i we can hear the creature's feet running around after Tess wakes up to see the door opens. Remember, Andre says she comes out at night

maybe the quality of the door just sucked, it is an unmaintained Airbnb in Detroit

@@f13ry_ yeah but how did she get in the house if the basement door always locks, I was wondering that too when Aj goes down then comes back up the first time to research square footage

I don’t know if it’s because Justin Long is like able and how many horror movies he’s been in but I admit I actually did like him and was bummed when he died, he was just really funny tbh

"Men can do whatever they want but women can't" Oh boy have I got a mountain of statistics for you. You are ass backwards.

And no, Frank shot himself due to remorse/regret/misery. If your theory were true, he'd have simply shot AJ.

@@Logan_93 I’m not 100% sure of that. AJ phrased it like the cops were already on their way. He probably just did not want to pay the price for his actions.

Yep, good explanation. Or it just could be incompetence/ confusion on the booking agent's end. Mistakes happen. Another subtext was to show that Justin Long's character was such a spoiled douche, he couldn't even be bothered to manage his own property. His negligence led to problems, both on the micro and on the macro levels.

​@@KidFresh71/ No this doesn't make sense bc the guy that owns the house that was kidnapping women was in the basement his self this whole time. So who was keeping it clean and putting it up to rent out? It's to many loose ends for me.

@@macafe7160 As stupid as the movie is, they did have the ludicrous explanation that cleaning service only comes by just before a new booking shows up. Do they not go in the basement? There are new rolls of toilet paper down there, so, they must have. Mama only comes out at night? Well, the thick rope coming out of the hole in the wall can't not have drawn attention. The property manager must be in on it. There's no other explanation.

@@macafe7160 that dude didnt own the house anymore. Pretty sure he stocked up on stuff like a doomsday prepper and hid in the basement and “disappeared”. AJ is the actual current owner of the house, they made it pretty clear he owned it, they mentioned it like 5 times

@@superlive98when tess first saw the rope it was hidden behind something on a shelf, albeit a bit poorly.
