Here are the filming locations for 'Barbarian.'

Although the movie primarily takes place in Detroit, the main filming location was Bulgaria; however, writer-director Zach Cregger told Below the Line they also filmed in Malibu and even remained true to form by shooting some scenes of Barbarian in Detroit, as well. He also discussed the making of the Airbnb, stating he worked alongside Bulgarian production designer Rossitsa Bakeva.

"We built every level of the house," Zach told the outlet. "We built the whole street that the house is on, so we had 13 facades of other houses on this block. You know, it was tough. We had to work remotely through Zoom at very odd hours because of the time difference, and then there was a language barrier."

"So, it was not without its friction at times, but she is an amazingly gifted talented art director," Zach added. "She was able to pull out miracle after miracle, and ultimately, the movie looks like what I had in my head."

The filmmaker also shared that each floor of the house was laid out next to each other on a stage, so he and the rest of the crew had to "do a little bit of trickery here and there" to portray different levels of the home.

According to The Cinemaholic, several establishing shots were filmed in Detroit as a way to add authenticity to Barbarian.

As for Malibu, the scenes are brief; the Cali beach town merely serves as an introduction to the owner of the Airbnb, disgraced sitcom actor AJ (Justin Long). Though we see him driving along the coast, he doesn't stay for too long; in fact, he soon packs his things and heads to Detroit, where he witnesses the horrors of his rental property.

Barbarian is now streaming on HBO Max.
