Barbarians (4 Stars)


This is the fourth film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival Nights.

Lucas Hunt has renovated a country farm in southern England, despite opposition from local groups who worship a nearby monolith called Gateway. While keeping the outward form of the farm, it's now luxury accommodation. He's sold it to a young couple called Adam and Eva. The contract hasn't yet been signed. Eva is a renowned sculptor, and Lucas is waiting until she's completed a large sculpture in the middle of the farm.

Adam and Eva invite Lucas and his girlfriend Chloe to dinner after the completion of Eva's sculpture, before its unveiling. At dinner tensions break out between the four people. First they argue. Then they fight. While they're fighting, masked intruders break into the house. They tie up the dinner party and demolish the room. It's a fight for life and death. This isn't a typical home invasion film. There are secrets which only revealed at the end of the film.
