Holy ****. Just got round to watching this. A pinned Kurt Russel, with a scalding hot hip flask wedged in his sliced open stomach, waiting to have his balls shot off by a screeching cannibalistic Indian wielding a shotgun, is an image that's going to stay with me for a while.

Loved the slow paced build up to the bat-**** crazy blood letting myself and thought the cast was spot on.
 
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.:lol

It's a shame this didn't get wide distribution because that's an Oscar worthy performance IMO.

All of this^

This was a good film, here I could understand the reactions everyone was having.
 
That's where I watched it, too. My buddy let me use his Prime membership and this was the first thing I watched (after The Tick, which he told me to watch first:lol). The Trogladytes were creepy as ****, and I loved how the leader was pretty much a human Predator in the 1800s.:lol
 
It definitely deserved a wider, bigger release. I guess the studio had no faith in the film and just disposed of it as quickly and quietly as possible.
 
I saw the Bluray for this the other day but never bought it...is it worth buying the bluray?

I would always recommend watching a movie first but if it's a matter of the blu costing $15 and renting it in HD for $6 personally I'd just buy the blu.

But I'm also a huge fan of this flick, own the blu and have a full sized poster so I may be biased. :lol
