Last month IFC Midnight unleashed the trailer for the darkly funny horror-thriller Barbarians, from writer-director Charles Dorfman, executive producer of Rabid, VFW, and Satanic Panic, who is making his feature directorial debut. Now the official poster has been unveiled (below), featuring bound and gagged stars Iwan Rheon (“Game of Thrones”) and Catalina Sandino Moreno (Maria Full of Grace).
Tom Cullen (Weekend), and Inès Spiridonov (Seuls) also star in the film, “Set over twenty-four hours in which a couple, Adam (Rheon) and Eva (Moreno), wake up in their supposed dream house on Adam’s birthday. Lucas (Cullen), the 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 night of terror; and the group’s civilized dinner party turns out to be anything but.”
Barbarians will be unleashed in theaters and On Demand on April 1, 2022, from IFC Midnight.
