Its Esme and Laura again! We dive deep into the 2022 horror film 'Barbarian', a movie that left us stunned from start to finish with its twists and turns (literally!), unsettling atmosphere, and brilliant misdirection.

• Multiple story perspectives that completely subvert expectations and keep you guessing
• Perfect casting of Bill Skarsgård (Pennywise from "It") creating immediate suspicion that plays with audience expectations
• Underlying themes of stranger danger, female vulnerability, and the consequences of selfish decisions
• Clever use of an abandoned Detroit neighborhood as a setting that amplifies the isolation and danger
• Exploration of what makes someone truly monstrous – is it the creature in the basement or the seemingly normal people we encounter?
• A third act that delivers one of the most memorable and disturbing horror scenes in recent memory

Then we discuss an entry from Richard J of his first hand eerie experience at the Villisca Axe Murder house!
