Blood in Them Hills

Like the previous reviewer said, westerns are not really my go-to genre, and neither is horror, but the mash-up of these two is done well here, and the film has more depth and character exploration than typical Westerns and horrors.

At the core, this film is ultimately about the main character, Joe, as we follow and witness his subtle yet powerfully impactful transformation throughout the film. Cannibals, monsters, friends, and foes are just along for the ride, and there are plenty of action and shoot-out sequences to keep you entertained.

The film has some stellar cinematography, a killer soundtrack, and wonderful performances.

With this movie, it seems they couldn't decide what they wanted to make: a Western, a horror movie, or something psychological.

In any case, the result was something that was a complete flop for me.

The opening sequence is interesting, but it only raises questions and offers no answers as to what actually happened.

After that, there's something that was probably only accomplished with a bunch of untalented amateur actors (when I see someone jumping out of cover and shooting high into the air, hitting someone...OMG). It all looked like a pathetic version of The Wild Bunch.

I can't recommend watching it, either.

Wow, this movie was absolutely wild! I don't usually go for Western horror-it's not really my thing-but this one completely pulled me in and made me rethink the genre. It has everything you could want in a horror film: brutal body gore, a terrifying monster, cannibals, and that classic Western feel, but with a much darker twist. The storyline was gripping from start to finish, delivering all the tension, dread, and shock value you expect from a solid horror movie.

On top of that, the performances were phenomenal! I was especially blown away by the actor who played Joe and the actress who played Willow-they brought so much depth and intensity to their roles. This movie was genuinely fantastic, and I highly recommend it to any horror fanatic looking for something fresh, eerie, and unforgettable!

Okay, I was shocked how much I LOVED this truly GREAT movie, as it was a "10" on so many fronts, but succinctly said: I especially loved how the multi-layered horror-western story was filled with equal "helping"" of comedy and fright. The humor was filled with both subtle jabs and laugh-out-loud humor. The film had a fantastic story with numerous sude stories that kept you entertained with non/stop action.

The outstanding direction was apparent throw out with no dead time, and the strong performances by an excellent ensemble cast was led by three great character leads; The funny, villain Joe Good (who was "better than good "), The Doctor turned bounty hunter and The Midwife with a heart of gold were in essence "Three Strangers and a Baby" in a western/monster movie.

And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the special FX Make-up which was truly Oscar worthy. What I thought would be a low-budget film was truly one of the best films I've seen in a long, long time.

I'm glad I saw it in the big screen, but I can't wait to watch it again, again and again now on the small screen either Apple +

First off, we need more Horror Westerns! Two genres that definitely belong together. The movie starts off with a great opening sequence that sets the tone for the rest of the movie.

Not to spoil anything...but It had me thinking of the movie "Pumpkinhead". The special effects were top notched. I really miss the good ole days of practical effects in horror movies.

The acting was very good from each of the leads and the supporting cast. The direction, locations and cinematography captured the western spirit quite well.

Overall, a great addition to the horror and western films. It'll be interesting to see if the story ends or if this is just the beginning.
