Have you ever seen a bad film? And I don't now mean film, you just don't like because it's not the genre you like. But something really awful. If you haven't, this is a good choice. There are films which are just bad. Then there are films that are so bad that they are actually good. And then there's films that are too bad to be fun camp comedy. This is one of those films.

Storyline is bad, idiotic, stupid and boring. Acting is bad, idiotic, stupid and boring. This tries to be a comedy, I guess. It's done very badly. People just speak 'fun' way and mess up things and thing that's fun. Well, it's not. This film is not fun. This gives new meaning for the word crap. Don't watch this.

I love bad movies. Not only, because they often are as entertaining as 'really' 'good' films (like Pirates of the Caribbean series and other Hollywood pathos), but they often are far better than those films. And that's the reason why I love Italian rip off cinema of 1970s and 1980s. And that's the reason why I especially love this movie, The Barbarians & the Company.

Director Ruggero Deodato has made some actually very good movies, like House on the Edge of the Park, and also his Atlantis Interceptors and Live Like a Cop, Die Like a Man are enjoyable action movies. But this is really bad. The Barbarians is so idiotic movie. Peter and David Paul as the Barbarian Brothers Kutchek and Gore are very funny, because of their lack of charisma and acting skills. But if they can't act, they yell and scream every time they do something important. In one scene people try to hang the Barbarian Brothers, and they escape very extraordinary way.

Bad acting, bad special effects, very stupid story, bad direction, actually everything is bad in this movie. I can't describe how much I laughed when I watched this first time. The Barbarians & the Company is camp classic everybody should see once. If you thought Plan 9 From Outer Space is fun camp, this will be a real killer.
