Barricade

I am a big horror movies fan and I followed this movie for a while on myspace. I like German splatter movies and I was excited about this one. I never saw any of Timo Rose's movies before. When i saw it, I was not surprised at all. It is like most German splat movies but with more gore than most of them. I thought it was really cool.

Some friends go into the woods and get attacked by cannibals. It is not an original plot but it is fun in this movie. Germany looks really pretty and the editing is cool. It is definitely better than most direct-to-DVD stuff that gets made anymore.

I would recommend this movie to any gore fans out there. Even though the acting is not great, it is better than most z-movies. It is great for some friends to sit down and watch with some beer. You will laugh at the cheesiness and gag at the gore.

barricade is the kind of movie i bet most typical movie fans will not like. its a bunch of really gory scenes with a small plot in-between. the story has a guy who is trying to tell the girl of his dreams that he cares about her on a camping trip in Germany but before he can do it a family of weird mutants attack them. it is a lot like wrong turn and the hills have eyes like other people have said but it is obviously made for really cheap.

everyone who wants buffy the vampire slayer should find another movie but if you're a horror fan and you like really gory movies, then maybe barricade is for you. i actually like it a lot. it is demented and sick and all the things i like to have in my horror movies. the acting is not great, but it is still pretty good. the way it is filmed is cool and doesn't feel like a normal direct to video movie.

i would give it two thumbs up, but like i said if you're a fan of normal movies, you probably will not like it.

Barricade is part of the "German ultra-gore",a complete genre on its own. Back in the 80s, Schnaass, Ittembach and Buttgereit were the founders of this "genre" and now Timo Rose is here to bring a good update on the genre, with more production values and better cinematography but with the same amount of insane violence and blood. Barricade is basically a "torture movie", people captured and mutilated. Not really a big plot, but very good gore FX is what you can expect from this one. I enjoyed it but it lacks in the plot department, and some "camp" moments would help also. I still have Zombie Doom and Premutos in the top of the German ultra gore genre, but Barricade,is near, also. Good photography(but i didn't like the "8 mm picture" FX and the MTV-style editing that were there quite a lot), good FX and lots of gore and blood. 7/10, recommended for the gore-hounds

Just another lame film about a family of cannibals taking on a group of 'normals.' What is with the fascination with cannibals? And why are the cannibals, usually inbred morons, able to outwit people whose brains actually work? And why, do they always eat the nubile women who could give them unmutated children? If they are inbred morons, how can they understand weapons and such? This is just another one for the junk pile, along with silly films like the entire Wrong Turn series. Just another excuse for torture porn like the terrible Hostel films. Unless one is a total cannibal fan, skip this and save 125 minutes of your life. By the way, the directing, acting and sfx are fairly bad.

This movie should never have been made. The acting was horrible the plot the same. Why cant there be 1 person out there that can act in a low budget movie. You will have a better viewing experience if you watch any of the Wrong Turn movies. True there is some good gore scenes in it ,but nothing nothing that hasn't already been done before.The camera work is so confusing that it almost gave me seizure just watching it,it is hard to understand at times what is actually going on.It is really upsetting that all the male characters can't really fight back,and the only one with any backbone is this useless female(main character).This one should be avoided at all costs.
