10 Best ‘Dead And I Know It’ Moments In Recent Horror Movies
1. AJ - Barbarian
Arriving towards the end of 2022, Zach Cregger's Barbarian centres around a house owned by AJ, an actor who's now looking to sell the property. To be more specific, Barbarian focuses on what's underneath that house. Namely, some reepy tunnels that are stalked by the eerie Mother, a deformed, mutated creature that's the result of generations of incest.
With Mother having already brutally offed Bill Skarsgard's Keith - a brilliantly intentional red herring of a character - AJ and Tess become our main focus. Tess had rented the property and managed to not get herself killed by Mother due to playing along with sick tricks such as drinking the beast's breast milk, which in turn caused Mother to believe she has some sort of bond with Tess.
So, when the film's final act sees AJ push Tess off a water tower as he looks to save his own skin, that doesn't go down well with Mother, as she grips him round the throat before gouging his eyes out and cracking his skull open.
