Blood in Them Hills

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!

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.

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 +

Well done to the cast and crew! I was engaged the entire movie. The ending was perfect. I wish they would have explained the demon a little more. Why was it there? Why did it target that specific family? The character development was perfect. You could tell everyone worked really hard putting this together. Your efforts did not go unnoticed. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a heartfelt/suspenseful movie. Maybe a little too scary for kiddos though. I wish the very best to the entire team who put this together. They deserve the credit and chance to keep doing what they love. Make sure to watch the movie!

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.
