'Barbarian' Director Explains Why a Prequel Likely Won't Happen, Shares Funny Sequel Idea

The new horror movie Barbarian is getting great reviews and fans have been loving the twisted new film.

With the success of a movie like Barbarian, it seems inevitable that there would be talk of a sequel or a prequel.

“I don’t think I’m necessarily interested in a prequel right now,” Zach told THR. “I think it would have to tell the story of Frank, and I’m personally not interested in making a movie about a man who abducts women. I’m more than happy to have that be the setting for another story like Barbarian is, but I don’t want to watch that guy for an hour and a half. I could be thinking about it all wrong. Maybe I’ll change my tune, but at the moment, no.”

Zach has an idea for a sequel, but it’s just a joke.

“There’s a sequel I joke about that I would love to watch, which would be The Mother surviving her gunshot and having to integrate into society. She could attend community college and get her learner’s permit and get a Tinder profile. (Laughs.) That would be fun. I’d watch that movie. I don’t know if I’d make it, but I’d love to see it,” he said.
