'Barbarian' Doesn't Live Up to the Hype

Barbarian is a movie held together with duct tape and Elmer’s glue, which doesn’t always have to be a knock against a project if it works. This is especially true for horror movies, where some of the most thrilling entries maintain a certain DIY air about them. Of course, as often as not that less-than-wholly-professional air is manufactured, sort of like a viral marketing campaign.
