A Crazy Snowy Bloody Western That's Destined to Become a Tarantino Cult Classic!!!

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2015)

I'm not the biggest Tarantino fan in the world, but I thought this new movie was actually really good. The gore was crazy and over the top, which I love. It had great suspense, like trying to figure out which of the men was trying to kill the other. It had beautiful scenery. It did feel a little isolated and claustrophobic because the film mostly takes place in the boarded up Haberdashery. The movie is perhaps even more racist than Django Unchained, but the director is just showing us what it was like back in the 1800's.
Kurt Russell plays John Ruth aka "The Hangman" John is a bounty hunter who's taking Daisy Domergue to Red Rock to collect $10,000 and let her hang. Along the way, they meet Major Marquis Warren and Sheriff Chris Mannix who need a ride before the blizzard hits.
When they make it to the Haberdashery they meet Bob the handyman, Oswaldo Mobray, Joe Gage, and General Sandy Smithers. John doesn't trust any of them, and forces them to give up their weapons. Throughout the night, we begin talking to each other, but still weary and unaware that some of them won't survive until morning.
There are plenty of twists and turns. A good murder mystery, a crazy funny backstory involving Marquis Warren, and amazing over the top gore. If you love westerns, suspense and violence, you'll love THE HATEFUL EIGHT!!!
