Super Freak
Just needed a little editing, I think I saw enough of O'Dwyer limping through the desert.
Loved this film. First time being shocked at horror in a long time.
I finally got around to seeing it, and, holy ****, what a movie. Richard Jenkins has always been a wonderful character actor, but I've never seen him disappear into a role quite like he did with back-up deputy Chicory. I liked the addition of Patrick Wilson's broken leg. It added a lot of tension to the story, allowed him to stretch his acting muscles a little bit, and, perhaps, most importantly, prevented him from becoming a bland protagonist. I thought Matthew Fox did an excellent job as John Brooder, too, but, of course, the main reason for me seeing this movie was Kurt Russell, and he didn't disappoint as Sheriff Franklin Hunt.
The thing that surprised me the most was the idea of this as a "horror western." For the better part of two hours, I didn't know what people were talking about, because the film presented me with a journey that, for all intents and purposes, was a character study. You got to know these characters, and, in some instances, love these characters, and I think that, while very sparse, that lends to the tension because, when the horror arrives, and, my god, does it ever, you fear for these characters. I think that image of Deputy Nick will forever be seared into my brain.

I saw the Bluray for this the other day but never bought it...is it worth buying the bluray?
