Zach Cregger, director of the new horror flick explore the behind-the-scenes look further by providing a commentary to go with the film for home release, even suggesting that he could record an unofficial one for YouTube if the studio doesn't professionally ask him.
The 'rip/mood reel' begins with panning shots of derelict homes, accompanied by an eerie soundtrack and a voicemail from a woman explaining to an assumed ex that she wants them to know her location just in case she finds herself in danger. The music intensifies as day cuts abruptly to night, and streetlights light a singular house. Jumping to what is assumed to be inside this building, a woman's silhouette is seen, as the voicemail explains that the house isn't what she thought it would be. Followed by a slow walk downstairs and through creepy corridors, the reel ends with creature jump scares and a smiling man.
For those who have not seen Barbarian yet, it may be best to go into this film as blind as possible. Although clips such as this and interviews with the stars and creators can help spread anticipation, it's often found that these snippets can take away from the overall effect of horror when it comes to shocking or terrifying those watching. Having an idea about the mood of a movie is not essentially a spoiler. Still, for projects receiving as much attention as Barbarian, the enjoyment often comes from entering a cinema without knowing what to expect. In retrospect, it would also seem that no one can predict the plot of this chaotic experience.
