Rental-based horrors – especially ones that involve double-bookings – appear to be all the rage at the moment.

Continuing the trend is Zach Cregger's Barbarian, a story in which a young woman (Georgina Campbell) arrives at her AirBnb only to discover a strange man (Bill Skarsgård, minus the clown makeup) already renting the property. With nowhere else to go, she accepts his offer to crash for the night.

Barbarian's trailer starts off in a jaunty, borderline rom-com style before quickly descending into nightmarish chaos when Campbell's character discovers a hidden tunnel in the basement after hearing noises in the night. Hell to the nope.

Barbarian lands in theatres Aug. 31.
