A father's quiet retreat to the woods with his two children turns into a fight for survival.
Barricade is a 2012 action thriller directed by Andrew Currie and stars Eric McCormack. It's also a film from WWE Entertainment and there's not a single wrestler in this film. We could have used the Rock rushing in and whipping somebody's ass.
Terrence Shade (Eric McCormack) has decided that he needs a getaway with his two kids. His wife died a year earlier and she wanted to have a white Christmas at the cabin but Terrence kept making excuses to get out of it. Now she's worm food and the family makes the trip. After arriving there strange things begin to occur and a blizzard strands them. Shade is sure something is trying to get into the house and barricades them in.
This is not a bad film and it's not a good film. It falls somewhere in the middle. Average. Eric McCormack's performance as a terrified father is actually not too bad. The child actors also do a pretty good job. The film is very dark. I don't mean dark as in the content but dark as in you can't see what's going on at times. It does help to establish a certain type of
atmosphere for the movie but I feel it distracts in this case. It does have a little twist at the end so I won't ruin the ending. The film is watchable and if you catch it on Showtime feel free to give it a view.
