‘Barbarian’ Director Zach Cregger Shares His 10 Favorite Horror Movies Of All Time
Horror fans across the world shared a collective gasp this past weekend while watching the brand new horror classic Barbarian from filmmaker Zach Cregger. The marketing materials for the film were sparse and left fans wondering what exactly they were getting themselves in for. It wasn’t long until early reviews for the gonzo spook house hit the Internet. While critics and horror fans alike are doing their best to keep online spoiler free, there’s only one way to guard yourself against having this bonkers terror show ruined. SEE IT ASAP.
In a cinema landscape saturated with reboots, prequels, remakes, and recognizable intellectual property, it was especially exciting to see a film like Barbarian reach the number one spot on the box office charts. Only a few weeks ago another original horror title managed to do the same, with The Invitation pushing out Bullet Train for the top spot. While these genre triumphs are likely indicative of a larger industrial issue at hand, it’s still exciting to see horror succeed and thrive no matter the state of Hollywood as we know it.
To celebrate the success of Barbarian’s ten-million-dollar recovery, we’re taking a look at director Zach Cregger’s genre influences. The talented filmmaker recently took to Twitter to share a list of his top ten horror films of all time, and we think it’s a list of films worth noting.
