Barricade is part of the "German ultra-gore",a complete genre on its own. Back in the 80s, Schnaass, Ittembach and Buttgereit were the founders of this "genre" and now Timo Rose is here to bring a good update on the genre, with more production values and better cinematography but with the same amount of insane violence and blood. Barricade is basically a "torture movie", people captured and mutilated. Not really a big plot, but very good gore FX is what you can expect from this one. I enjoyed it but it lacks in the plot department, and some "camp" moments would help also. I still have Zombie Doom and Premutos in the top of the German ultra gore genre, but Barricade,is near, also. Good photography(but i didn't like the "8 mm picture" FX and the MTV-style editing that were there quite a lot), good FX and lots of gore and blood. 7/10, recommended for the gore-hounds
