Zach Cregger’s Barbarian is finally getting a physical media release

Writer/director Zach Cregger’s horror film Barbarian was a financial success when it was released by 20th Century Studios back in 2022, and it also received a lot of positive word-of-mouth. New Line Cinema was so impressed by it, they forked over $38 million to pick up Cregger’s Weapons. They also signed a first look deal with BoulderLight Pictures, the production company behind the film, resulting in (so far) Companion. Cregger is currently working with Sony on a new Resident Evil movie – but while all of this has been going on, there’s also been something strange lurking in the background: 20th Century Studios never gave Barbarian a physical media release. No DVD, no Blu-ray, nothing. Thankfully, this wrong will soon be made right. On August 11, Barbarian arrives in physical format for the first time on 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray SteelBook. A press release lets us know “the creepy, evocative, and stunningly packaged SteelBook features brand-new art by Creepy Duck Design.”

What is Barbarian about?

Cregger, who co-created the TV series The Whitest Kids U’Know, crafted a story for Barbarian that begins when a young woman traveling to Detroit for a job interview books a rental home. But when she arrives late at night, she discovers that the house is double booked, and a strange man is already staying there. Against her better judgement, she decides to spend the evening, but soon discovers that there’s a lot more to fear than just an unexpected house guest.

The film stars Georgina Campbell (Krypton), Bill Skarsgård (It), Justin Long (Tusk), Matthew Patrick Davis (Dwight in Shining Armor), Jaymes Butler (Spides), Kurt Braunohler (The Big Sick), J.R. Esposito (Pandora), Devina Vassileva (Memory), Kalina Stancheva (Assassin’s Bullet), Sophie Sörensen (The Tales of Toverud), Trevor Van Uden (A Drunk Scorpion Will Sting Itself to Death), and Richard Brake (31).
