Haters Gunna Hate

Rating: 8/10 (26 July 2017)

I was surprised at some of the low scores/negative reviews for The Hateful Eight. I really enjoyed this film and appreciated the masterful storytelling.
First of all, I feel that Tarantino is an inspired genius whose storytelling tactics and cinematic approaches that defy mainstream filmmakers and movie goers.
I am a huge fan of rare, cult, abstract, art house and exploitation films. Tarantino pays homage to these unique and misunderstood genres through his artistic creations.
I had already seen Foxy Cleopatra, Enter the Ninja and every Sergio Leone spaghetti western before I even knew who Tarantino was in high school.
If you don't recognize these titles, then you will not like Tarantino's films.
The Hateful Eight's story seems to be written by a playwright who weaves together mysterious characters, surprising plot twists and conflicting Hitchockian Macguffins.
This film is best for people who enjoy the surreal experience of sharp cinematography and a visually powerful story.
I highly recommend this film and all of Tarantino's other successful films.
