I will be posting Christmas-themed horror films over the next 24 days of LosMas; for the ninth night, I am posting the 2012 psychological horror movie Barricade.
Barricade (2012)
A widowed father takes his two young kids on a trip to visit his deceased wife’s family cabin for the Christmas holiday. What is expected to be a few days of snow, sledding, and fun turns into a nightmare when they are all trapped in the cabin during a heavy blizzard and he begins to suffer from crippling delusions. Barricade is a 2012 holiday thriller directed by Andrew Currie and starring Eric McCormack, Jody Thompson & Donnelly Rhodes. Isolation and loss are huge themes in this movie with the McCormack portrarying a man struggling with the loss of his wife and having to care for two kids he was distant with prior to her death. The snowy setting and remote location make this film similar to The Lodge but Barricade was released seven years prior. With its small cast the youngest actors playing the two children stand out with such a difficult film subject and wintery condition’s.
