As we announcedlast week, Collider held a special screening in Los Angeles for the horror movieBarbarian– and if you’re reading this in (or close to) New York, you still have the chance to attend our second screening whichtakes place next week. In both events, Collider partnered up with 20th Century Studios and New Regency in order to give horror fans the opportunity to watch the upcoming movie before it hits theaters, and also hear the movie’s cast and director discuss the story in length.
During the event, an exclusive clip was unveiled just before the screening, which Collider can now share with you. The clip starsJustin Long’s character AJ taking some measurements of a surprisingly long underground passage. He ends up discovering what appears to be a secret lair, but shortly after a more urgent development comes up.
The event in the clip is just one of many scary elements inBarbarian, which centers around a girl who gets double booked in an AirBnb, but decides to stay with a stranger because there is no time to relocate before an important job interview the next morning. But, as thetrailer reveals, the stranger is hardly the problem she’ll have to face during the night.
