3.5/5

Bark rewards those that sit with its deliberate pacing and ironically claustrophobic setting.

…the perfect film for those who like clever, stripped back genre flicks with compelling narratives and endings that clobber you right in the soul.

3/5

When we finally learn the full and complete truth, it makes for an ending that results in me rooting for the punisher. I don’t know that this is necessarily a good thing, but it did feel good to see...

Director Marc Schölermann invites the audience into a low-scale, single-location horror/thriller with an eye for intimacy, mood, and atmosphere

If you enjoy a good self-contained horror thriller, look no further than ‘Bark.’

4/5

The truth is a gentle twist that reframes the narrative and the audience’s empathy for Nolan. It mostly works, paying off what is essentially a lushly photographed two-hander that could work just as easily as a play or a Twilight Zone morality lesson.

Creative but slow. Not the greatest plot twist but if you were able to see it coming, it’d be a miracle.

I wanted to find a movie that was worth my time. I found this movie with 100% reviews. IT SUCKS I am waiting for something to happen it never does. It has decent suspense but nothing at the end. it could not hold my attention 0/10 would never recommend

A true psychological thriller that throws a wrench in at the end that definitely removed any pity i felt for the captive. This is an examination of how we value life in general and the reasons captive is there just might upend your sense of justice. Definitely recommended viewing... I've not seen anything similar before...

I sat through most of this slog that my wife put on. She fell asleep and I finished the movie. I won't spoil anything, but maybe because I'm not the type of person that feels bad about what he did. Sure he did a terrible thing, but the punishment didn't fit the crime and when it ended, I audibly yelled "GTFO". They could have saved me an hour of my time if they skipped to the end. The revelation at the end wasn't compelling enough to justify the rest of the movie.

Bark is a psychological thriller whose protagonist is forced to do a deep self examination, with events worth watching unfold.
