Next week: Superhero sins & animated adventure sins.
Remember, no movie is without sin. Which movie's sins should we count next?

Should have gotten more sins off for Justin Long measuring the basement. It's rare that a horror movie has an intentionally funny moment that works so well without ruining the tense mood.
Agreed
Genuinely my favorite part of the movie and i love this movie 😂
Depends if you find anything good character does as funny
The director was a member of a well-known comedy troupe for many years. Him and Jordan Peele are going to have an advantage when it comes to that sort of thing.
You seem easily amused.
The casting of Bill was A+ because we just EXPECT him to be evil af. So good.
He is naturally creepy. Love him.
I loved his "Do I look like some kind of monster?" line
I was just disappointed he wasn't in the movie for longer
Honestly it came off as a porn intro tbh
It's also stupid because his being robotic and creepy exists only for the purpose of creeping out the viewers. It makes no sense in the context of the movie and is completely unrealistic.
Turns out the real Barbarians are the friends we made along the way
I prefer the Mongols…😂😂😂
@@cakedUraniumMuffin I prefer Conan
Lmao the literal theme
My favorite line in the film is when Pennywise says, "So what are we then? Some kind of Barbarian?"
The transition from Keith’s death to the convertible drive gave me whiplash so hard, it made me laugh so hard in the theater
I thought I changed the movie without noticing
@@emptysoul2757 yeah I was wtf while trying to eat skittles quietly at the theater
Yeah that transition was really jarring and strange
I think people who get angry about this movie don't realize that it's supposed to be, and in my opinion is, absolutely hilarious. I loved it personally
Bro got f-ing nutcrackered
The smartest thing was using what most of the audience knows Bill from against us. Such a good choice.
Agreed. Also, the scene where Keith was showing Tess how to put on a duvet cover seemed like an excuse for Bill to try flirting with a bag over his head, see how far he could get with it, then take it off--RECORD SCRATCH--and Tess' look is all like, "pass."
And given that Bill also served as an executive producer on this movie... idk, maybe he's secretly a troll??? /:/
@@miserylitmedia Its kinda like Drew in Scream. 'Drew Barrymore would NEVER die!....da heck?'
The "randomly closing basement door" thing is one of the few justified ones I've seen, as we know the owner of the house was at least a handy-man, and had likely rigged it to shut on its own so that his victims couldn't escape as a result of any potential negligence on his part.
As for the title, it's a dual meaning one. The street this happens on is Barbary Street, meaning the residents could be accurately called Barbarians/Barbaryans, and also due to the barbarous acts committed by the owner of the house.
Also, the term Barabarian comes from the Greek meaning unintelligible. It was used to describe non Greek speakers who just sounded like gibberish, i.e., "ba ba ba"
also, its an air bnb on barbary street, so it could also be like “barbary inn” but idk how accurate that is. i saw someone say that its also an acronym for air bnb but i think thats the least likely meaning of the title
The writer of the movie just straight up said Barbarian was the original random title and they just never bothered to change it
@@audreywright5847the term is anagram, not acronym just btw
If you’ve been watching this happen for 15 years, and aren’t going to tell the cops about it because you’re afraid they won’t believe you just Molotov cocktail the house
🤣🤣🤣
When you're right, you're right.
Shotguns and assault rifles would work as well.
@@DeadEye456 yup. There was a lot of things that could have differently.
Maybe that homeless guy was just a big wuss
Actually, dude was right; she shouldn't have went in that house. Look at that damned neighborhood. You show up and your Airbnb is the one semi-nice looking house in that fucked up neighborhood and there's some creepy dude inside who shouldn't be there? Yeah, no. She shouldn't have gone in that house.
Not only was she not supposed to go in that house, but the fact that she went BACK?! MULTIPLE TIMES?! LORD! 😩
shouldn't have _gone_
In her defense on the first night, it was so dark and rainy she couldn't see how dilapidated the rest of the neighborhood was.
@@TheFrugalVideoGamer that’s in defense of the neighborhood but she still shouldn’t have stayed there overnight with a complete stranger🤦🏾♀️😭
@@NoviLyricshe had no choice, the hotels in the area were booked from a convention so she couldn’t find another place to stay
"if you weren't already accused of rape, I would think less of you," is the funniest sentence I've heard from CinemaSins in a long time 😂
Guilty until proven innocent nowadays
"And that is a lot to take in inside 10 seconds" surprised he didn't sin himself for "name of my sex tape?"
@@lil_keybo he admitted to coercion in the bar scene, its ambiguous whether aj’s a rapist or not
@Blake d 9:31 😅😅
9:31 9:31 9:31
‘Airbnb’ and ‘Barbarian’ share the same letters. The movie takes place on Barbary St. Several characters commit acts that could be seen as…barbaric. GREAT title.
Yeah they share the same letters like "pie" and "helicopter" do
@@nicolasdupouymanescau no, they share the letters a, b, i, n & r - both words use all those letters and only those letters. Helicopter and pie is not a comparable example.
Or everyone living on that street is a Barbarian!
bill skarsgards performance in this movie deserves so much more hype.
He is a severely underrated actor! I hope he gets to play Pennywise again in Welcome to Derry!
No. He can do better
@@noctambule5726 he reinvented the character and became a horror icon. He should at least have a cameo
@David Lee yeah exactly he preformed better in other movies
@@davidrele Right lol he looked good for sure, but it wasn't a role that took a whole lot and it's not even an insult to him, just the movie itself lol
When Tess is at the top of the stairs trying to scream for Keith, and it's just barely coming out..... That felt very very real to me. Not like some top of the lungs 30 second scream.
I liked the sorta red herring they did with Bill Skärsgaard. I was thinking he was gonna end up being the psycho character for ages.
Same
The MOMENT she stepped down into that basement to try to help Keith, I told myself whatever happens to this girl is ON HER 🤷🏿♂️
Saw this in a theaters and someone behind yelled "Girl you don't even know him" at that part 💀
Nah the moment she trusted a random guy that had no proof that he should’ve been in that air bnb and decided to sleep in it with him is when I was thinking anything that happens to her is on her😂😂
EXACTLY she's begging for something to happen not only that but, she kept going deeper and deeper instead of saying “if you don't come out I'm leaving you”
OMG EXACTLY.
At some point this bitch gets shot by the worst person in the movie and she a 100% deserved that.
After seeing a special thank you to Jordan Peele, I assume they brought him in and his contribution was "have her say nope, trust me" 😂
The cops were so dumb in this movie that I am convinced that they were somehow in on the whole thing
I wish they had shown the tunnels connecting to the other properties because that’s what is hinted at in the trailers and promos because there are three perfect houses all in a row.
i nevern oticed the other houses. WOW.
I haven’t seen this movie but did they make a point of AJ indicating he was afraid to call the police because he wasn’t suppose to be out of state? If so, it’s one of the best reasons I’ve seen in a horror movie for not calling the cops.
yeah that could definitely be an explanation. but lord, if you’re stuck in an underground maze with a murderous inbred who cares what the cops think about being out of state. he’s better off in jail then down there. 😳
nope, not mentioned, he loses his phone after finding the mother
was anyone else expecting the something worse to be dozens of feral children who didn't have a random aspiration for motherhood roaming the depth of this house killing anything they came across and not some old dude who was admittedly, a monster of a human being in his younger years but is barely functioning now?
There is not even an attempt of an explanation of what happened to all the other women and babies... At least that would have been something
@92brunod exactly. You can't use the copy of a copy analogy and not show the things leading up to our main monster. Even a pile of increadingly disfigured corpses from across the last 40 years in a pit would have been something but nope. Just one mutant and a decrepit old man.
@@nicholaslucier-halliday5954 And it was so easy to fix. Just hint at them being cannibalistic. Done.
I have no clue why they couldn't come up with something for that.
There's just something about Jeremy venting his rage at these characters that brings me joy. 💜💜
2:07 is just perfection
Such a strange movie. First half I was literally shaking from the suspense and terror. When AJ showed up I was laughing for most of the rest of it. Strange movie
When AJ shows up, it feels like we randomly jumped into a completely different movie
People actually said these characters were smarter than the average horror movie characters. Can you believe that? These characters were dumb as a box of rocks RIGHT FROM THE OPENING SCENE.
The first two were actually pretty socially aware. I can't imagine most people would act any different all the way up till she went into the cave basement after Keith. Her going down there was foolish bravery to try and help him vs most people would've been too scared to walk down those steps like Kieth should have been
Hello. I'm a box of rocks' legal defense. No, I don't have a law degree but they were still dumb enough to hire me. Anyway, my client demands that you apologize for that slanderous remark. 🤨
@@armandoocana409 the very video u watched pointed out how the woman acted against her own self preservation from the beginning with stepping into the house without first getting any real info from the man.
@@captainmarvelous7678 the video makes a few assumptions without showing the many instances between her choices she very nearly didn't. Once again, if you watched the movie I would challenge you to think you would do otherwise in her shoes at the time
@@armandoocana409 I’d never go down into a third basement 😂 my butt is walking out the door 😂
Color me surprised there was no mention of the transition shot when Tess went outside to her car in daylight to see how ran down the street was compared to the dark rainy night before..
Agreed. I thought that was done really well.
Yeah, that was super dumb. She rents an airbnb and doesn't even google the neighbourhood? She's completely surprised the houses around that ONE random decent house are worse than 2003 Baghdad.
This movie had so many whiplash moments I thought i was watching different movies at times
I would say the first 15 minutes are great. It got me good. Suspense.
Here it is - the correct answer
I will say until the mommy showed up i thought the threat was gonna be a kidnapper or something, I was completely caught off guard and it actually got me😂
Yes. When she jumped off the water tower I laughed my ass off too in a quiet theater
Same, all I could think of was that Westlife "flying without wings" song 😅
“Hey little girl, come here!!” 😂
They way his eyes oozes out like crushed orbeez😭
but that's what would happen
@@joey.thanes i tihnk theyre just saying that it was disturbing
I compared it to squeezing a pizza roll
When they pull up to Barbary Street at the beginning of the movie, I was immediately like "OH, that's why it's called Barbarian. There is probably someone that's been living in that house a long time."
Ooooh yeah thank youuu
The amount of disappointment I had in the remainder in this movie after Bill skarsgard died was immeasurable.
kinda yea.
Yeah Act 1 of this movie was incredible. Tense, scary, played on your mind. The rest was just a clusterfuck of things that didn't work for me.
@@lukesoddlife it felt like after bill died someone else started directing
The whole reveal of the 80s serial killer was done brilliantly.
Why was that?
16:41 was my exact reaction in the theater. The scene made me laugh so hard that the rest of the theater started cracking up with me.
It was just legitimately funny how much of a piece of shit justin longs character was
as if you've ever been in a theater
@@likmijnreet4542 what exactly are you insinuating here?
I genuinely thought Bill was trapped in some underground fighting ring and to escape he was going to have to trick Tess and then she takes his place
I have lived in air bnbs where they only rent the room. You could potentially have a complete stranger living in the other room and sharing the common areas.
Handful of sins for movie not knowing what the word Barbarian actually means. It means 'foreigner/outsider' but with the harshness of being called a yankee, gringo, or gaijin.
More sins for cops seeing a panicking woman with dirty/torn clothes and visible wounds. . .and telling said woman to get lost because she has no ID. . .there'd be no political debate because those cops would be fired on the spot.
Barbarian also means "from Barbary"
Like, "from Barbary street". The street this house is located on.
This movie is the definition of having a good trailer that didn't give anything away and teased you of the horror elements and because of that it made the movie 10x better when you find out what it's all about🙏
More horror movies need to do that!
I cannot agree more with this. This was expertly done.
Absolutely agree
This movie was awesome
for real, saw the messengers trailer on a spiderman dvd as a kid, hooked instantly on horror movies, great trailer
Catfish did it best though 😂
@Jeri Mason the trailer wasn't misleading it was just a good trailer
Id like to think some of the tunnels lead into other properties in the area. maybe we get a prequel where he digs the tunnels and blasts thru other basements to steal girls :O
This movie had me questioning EVERYTHING my first time watching it. So absurd that I needed to know how it all ended. 😅
I'm waiting for a sequel.😂
I can only imagine what that experience would be like. 😂
Fr like when keith died i was like... WHERE TF IS THIS GOING BRO LIKE??
Tess immediately takes the record of "horror movie character that makes the most frustratingly stupid decisions." Ironically, Justin Long in Jeepers Creepers may have held the record before.
And he loses his eyes in both films.😅
Oh he was dumb dumb in that
This movie had so much promise... it's like being sooooo thirsty, grabbing water and it's vodka
I did appreciate the Jeepers Creepers throwback to Justin Longs fate lol 👁️👁️
I was gonna say lol dude doesn’t have good luck with his eyes in horror movies
The slam on the phone flashlight had me dying! I've never heard someone so upset at the amount, or there lack of, light it produced.
The door doesn't close because of some ghost but the door is just dysfunctional. Some doors do close themselves, especially ones that are really old
Ok, so the flashlight thing. YES! FLIPPING YES! That is one of my biggest pet peeves in film. Why is it that NO MATTER THE GENRE, flashlights don't light up a room? No matter if it's a cop show, spy movie, zombie game etc. Flashlights just suck!
Ok ummmmm I agree with literally every sin except for “there’s a bed, a camera, and a bucket” not being considered shady af.
Literally every snuff film or nasty porno has those EXACT same things.
Think it’s more than reasonable for a woman/ girl to be concerned about those things being found IN A BASEMENT!
💯
Please do The Descent. The monsters are actually cool, but the characters are so dumb it makes you wish the monsters would start attacking sooner, which kind of takes all the tension out of a horror situation.
Since I was a kid I respected those women all alone in the dark in that cave. They are international pro outdoors hobbyists and athletes; if they barely made it out, that's terrifying.
"IT Chapter Nope" 😆
16:56 I did not expect math
A big thanks, you litterally healed my soul with this video. I watched this movie last night and honestly loved it, I found it scary and full of nice bazingas. However, I spent the night tossing and turning in my bed while counting all the stupid shit Tess did in the movie. And now I found your video that summarizes everything so neatly, so thank you so much !
"Here in my car I feel safest of all, I can lock all the doors, it's the only way live in..." a horror movie.
Glad I'm not the only one who still hasn't recovered from the skeletal bear in 'Annihilation' that thing changed me man. That creature has lived rent free in the phobia part of my brain since 2018 and it just won't move out.
But it’s such a beautiful beast 🫣
@@_1Sentry1_ And the vibe I get from you is a complete wuss who mocks people for no reason or an idiot trying to get easy likes from exaggerating some supposed fear and then getting mad at people for again, no reason.
The useless emoji at the the end really tips the balance into the idiot plate.
That bear was the one thing that was burned into my brain from that movie 🥲
Horrifying
And of course we get to see Pennywise but he doesn't have his interdimensional shape-shifting clown powers.
I’ll never forget they took us to see this while i was in rehab. It was an experience to say the least 🤣
Rehab does field trips?
Rehab does field trips to Movie Theaters?
Tf 🤣
I watched this movie in theaters and laughed harder at it than I have at any other movie, comedy or otherwise
Gotta admit, i really enjoyed this movie, both the messages and themes as well as the actual nitty gritty of the plot details
Everyone thinks that cops "acting stupid" is a horror movie trope. Hard no. They are 100% actually that stupid
In America, then, 'cause I can't imagine a cop reacting that way or anywhere close where I live or in any country around 🤔
You've had many encounters with police? Messed up that much?
Brother, get the Flamer.
*THE HEAVY FLAMER!*
*PUSHES EXTERMINATUS BUTTON*
"And she ain't even the worst thing that's in there.
Holy sh*t! Kirk Cameron is in there too?!"
😀😃😄😁😆😅🤣😂
omg I was SO hoping you'd do this one! I went looking for it on your channel a few weeks ago and just had a feeling I'd see it on here at some point!
That movie started out so good then got so dumb by the third act. I’m glad CS recognized how ridiculous the whole movie is
I wanna know how Justin Long’s character got the house. The r*pist… sorry, Richard Brake’s character, not to be confused with Justin Long’s r*pist character… anyway, Richard Brake’s r*pist owned the house, sold it to Justin Long’s r*pist, and continued to live in the hidden basement for years without anyone noticing the rope in the wall and reporting it? Or that people kept disappearing after staying at this specific Airbnb? Who was cleaning up all of the keys, cars, wallets, etc. of the victims, Momma?
@@kurtzahringer9750 Yep, exactly. Although, I really like the idea that Momma is taking all of the victims’ belongings, piling them into their cars, and driving the vehicle and belongings down to a dump site where Momma disposes of them. Then she walks her naked ass back to the house, passing all her neighbors who are like “oh, there’s Momma. Musta murdered another renter. Well, back to my coffee” lol. And I fucking LOVE the idea that Momma does all the shopping, her naked ass standing in the checkout line grunting about the person in front of her taking too long lmao.
ok but all those sins at the start before we know Bill's character is innocent, poor guy was just trying to be nice 😂
Is it crazy that I'm most excited about ciniemasins videos of movies I love?
They've also stated that they sinned some of their favorite movies. I've always in my head saw so many flaws and made mental notes of inconsistencies and plot holes, etc, etc, and when I came upon CS years ago I always waited for movies I enjoyed to come out on here :)
I heard that it's called Barbarian because the house is located on Barbary St.
Yeah but it’s more about the guy who use to live there. He is the Barbarian
I'm sinning the description for saying "you sill see the sins"
I literally watched this movie last night 😮 Cinema Sins is ON IT
I've heard that along with being titled as is because the house is located on Barbary St., the house itself is an Airbnb...all letters in Barbarian.
I’ve heard that, too. When I first heard it, I was told it was an anagram, but then when I went to make a comment on that just now, I did the letter rearranging and realized that there’s too man’s As to be an anagram 😅 Moral of the story, kids: fact check for yourself lol
But yeah, “all letters present in” is a better way of explaining it.
It’s also referring to the guy who is a inhabitant of Barbary st…….he is the Barbarian who started this whole story
I think it’s actually called barbarian because that’s the whole premise of the movie - who is the barbarian - you think it’s the man in the beginning, then it could be Jason long, it could be the decrepit mother, it could be the old man who started it all - it’s the entire point of the movie - barbarism
I watch, and will always watch (and love) CS for their utter contempt of jump scares!
I thought it was a brilliant directorial debut. Definitely genre subversive, outright hilarious, and super fucked up. The thing that I like so much about it was that it managed to convey startling amounts of savagery without actually showing it on the screen. The Frank scenes don't need to show you his outright horrifying actions, the suggestion of them is enough to shock and appall without straight up showing any gore porn or rape fantasies. Frank's the barbarian (as in a literally barbaric person).
Also I know the whole "the monster isn't the real monster" trop can be a bit tired, but I felt this was a decently fresh take on it. The three act structure was really phenomenal and I loved the way that he told the story without holding your hand (the non sequitur cuts into AJ's introduction is hilarious and the one into Frank's flashback scene just asks you to watch it unfold rather than giving you all of the exposition or info up front).
The only thing I really didn't like was the stupid door. At least show Frank making it close on its own or something, instead it would close by itself at random times convenient to the plot. I can forgive a small gripe like that for a movie that was funny and original though.
Some doors just do that ( I need to put a doorstop in front of my bathroom door or it just closes on it's own)...especially if a house has foundation issues
He directed miss March.
This is such a fascinating film since it's interesting to see the reactions of those who love it, loved parts or it or outright disliked it. It's strong, and the film surprisingly does work hard enough to earn being so divisive in many respects.
I didn’t find this movie scary just because of how ridiculous the monster looks at first glance but then after thinking about it how else would a women who’s the byproduct of generations of incest look? In the end, it’s not a good horror movie, but I thought it was still a good movie.
@@GoblinsAreReal It's not though. It's lazily written, makes no sense and has an ungodly amount of plot holes. I felt nothing but anger watching this movie and that's not a good thing.
Eh, I'd say the first like forty minutes following Tess was good. Actually tense, although it wasn't scary and you have to ignore the bullshit horror tropes. Post AJ, the films a hot mess
@@northwind2538 "Makes no sense and has an ungodly amount of plot holes" is a staple of the horror genre. Michael Myers and this lady have the exact same powers, the only difference is he gained his from a mental hospital instead of a basement. That and he covers his nips.
@@laneminor6240 told my girlfriend the same thing, first 40 was edge of seat uncomfy then a total letdown
Sometimes I watch the first section as a stand-alone romance film because I have a crush on Bill Skarsgard 😂 RIP Keith
Should've REMOVED sins for how realistic it is that cops would be more obsessed to get ID, regardless of them knowing or caring about ID laws, than to help. I say this after watching hundreds if not thousands of cop vids in recent years.
No Fight Club reference. "A copy of a copy of a copy." Sin on you. Lol
I thought Nine Inch Nails
When the creep inside the house turns out to not be the creep inside the house 😂 1:57
Finally! I've been waiting for this.
Glad to know I wasn't the only one bursting in laughter for that jump
The hilarity of Justin Longs performance without intention of him being funny saves the movie for me for a little while.
Has to be one of the best videos on a long time Baby! 😂
Am I only one getting ole "Jeeper Creeper" vibes him wandering around in the dark with a half working flashlight?
How did you not take a sin off for the nose boop scene?
I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE JUMPED OFF THE TOWER!
"how do you forget a number as you're reading it?? The answer: ADHD
The scene where the mother dived off the water tower is now a staple of comedy in my friend groups
"Why is this movie called barbarian?" Can't argue with him
Street name along with the father being the true villain and barbarian, the mothers fate was kind of heartbreaking and she just legitimately cared for her babies
No sin off for the best SMASH cut of 2022 deserves a sin. *DING!*
Ive seen this episode before, but i completely forgot how great that Kirk Cameron joke was
8:45 this is historic!!!! 5th wall breaking lol
16:24 “Oh f***ing f***” 😂😂😂
It’s called “Barbarian” because the mother was born on Barbary street, much like someone born on Mars is called a Martian.
I absolutely loved this film. Justin Long was the best character in it. My favorite horror film ever.
Tbh my doors randomly open if there not locked something with every time I open a window which we tested because I’ll be damned if I’m staying in that kind of a space.. even when are air conditioners are on like it startles me every now and then..
😂😂😂😂 I know you pointing out stuff for this movie but like I would have loved to seen your first reaction to watching this 😂
I love this movie. even with plot holes it makes sense
The timing is just perfect, i watched this film last night
The best thing and quite telling is when your thrill level is all noises in a creepy tunnel. Who needs a script...
At the water tower scene, in the outtakes, CS could have gone with "the guy did a Peter Pan....."-you know, like The Fugitive .Missed opportunity!
My favourite first act in decades =)
OMG I LOVE THE REFERENCE TO THE BEAR IN ANNIHILATION MOVIE BECAUSE THAT SCARED THE LIVING HECK OUT OF ME TOO
this movie was a rollercoaster
When the third basement was revealed and she started walking down I got so mad I almost didn’t finish the movie lmaoooo came back an hour later and wasn’t disappointed but sheesh stupidity
