I suggest The Nightstalker(72) directed by John Moxey with Darren McGavin and Barry Atwater as one one of the most realistically terrifying vampires I've ever seen in film, Once Were Warriors directed by Nikki Caro, El Mariachi directed by Robert Rodriguez, The Warriors and 48 Hours directed by Walter Hill.
@@JamesVSCinema Absolutely the best Western ever. I commented in another video (Apocalypto) that you should review/react to this one... and then I found that you already did. I first saw the Apocalypto react and now this. I also see you reacted to "Saving Private Ryan", "Sin City", "Gladiator", "No Country for Old Men" etc Reacting to some good movies man, Im subscribing..... A movie you should react to is "Nice Guys" with Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe.. I saw it recently, tips from Bill Burr.. absolutely one of the best comedies out there IMO And just saw the moment the stables boy (the black kid) died... technically he didn't die first.. old man died in the beginning first 😂
L Im going to be honest here chief, I don’t care what’s been done to you or what the situation is, splitting a human being in half isn’t something I can just be okay with or ‘not blame them’. That shits wild
@@LS111AT Why? Because they did it to settlers? Because they were brutal to other tribes too. I often think Non-European/Non-White brutality and expansionism (the Zulu, Aztecs, Comanches, etc) is downplayed because it doesn't fit into a romanticized narrative.
@@trevorcoyle517 well in this case, scalping is ceremonial and the bisection is an efficient way to gut and section meat tbh. The only real punishment is hammering the scalp into homeboys mouth. Which is, imo, the most brutal part that doesn't get mentioned much! The screams and the sight of the knife sticking out of his mouth is horrific af!
People always bring up Terrifier and The Green Inferno in comparison to Deputy Nick's death and I HATE IT!! True agony is not something often done well in films but Nick's actor does an absolutely terrific job!! What truly sells it, for me, are the moments when Nick literally can't even muster a sound from the pain (specifically during the scalping)! Like he's in such shock, he's breathless! In Terrifier/Green Inferno it's all over the top wailing! The screaming in those films sounds to clean and forced! I can't confirm but I'd imagine your screams wouldn't be pitch perfect in that situation but, instead, would just be reactionary that you have no control over! HUGE credit goes to the sound design too! Instead of the squishy, squashing-jello sounds of Terrifier, Bone Tomahawk is all DRY! Bones cracking, tendons snapping and squelching!! The top notch prosthetic body is incredible too! You can see a little bit of tailbone stick up once the flesh is torn off, FANTASTIC
One of my favorite westerns ever made, I'm glad the film made the distinction of the Troglodytes from peoples of any nation. As a Native American I appreciated that.
The first time I saw this movie was with my mother and father. We had no clue what it was about but my dad loves westerns so we all thought it was going to be like a "True Grit" type. Man we were so wrong 😂
I've always thought that this film looks like the sun is bleaching it's surroundings, like whenever they're outside it almost makes everything look abnormally white compared to what it regularly would.
So you glad you watched this, one my fav Westerns of recent years, would recommend other movies from director, like Brawl in Cell Block 99 and Dragged Across Concrete.
I was camping alone, sitting beside a fire in the middle of a dark forest when i watched this movie the first time... scared the hell out of me... good times lol
Yes sir. This is one of the first movies that just STAYED with me for weeks after seeing it. It haunted me and I was obsessed with the idea of Troglodytes and modern manifestations of hidden peoples. I hope it sticks in your brain too. Great reaction.
A "hidden peoples" type movie that I've recently watched is The Green Inferno, think of it as an update to Cannibal Holocaust. If you like horror and cannibals you'll like it.
My dad loves westerns.. so one uneventful weekend my siblings and I got together to enjoy a movie night with him. After juggling several titles we all agreed on this one, mainly for Kurt Rusell. We got snacks, we microwaved some popcorn and open a couple of beers. And didn't research or watched a trailer.. it was a western.. what could possibly go wrong? Damn. We ended up throwing away half the snacks and popcorn... there was no more craving.
Duuuuude this is one of the only movies that made me have to pause and compose myself. Felt like I was going to faint after “that” scene took place. Almost had some PTSD watching your reaction, but I made it haha. Loved your reactions! Always educational
I know I'm late but I'm just now watching this reaction, read this comment, and I had to say that I did the exact same thing my first time watching this movie. I was loving it, then after this I think I actually just turned it off completely for about three minutes. The thing to me that make scenes like this so very traumatizing is the expertly executed, agonized screams of the actors playing the victims.
This movie evokes the primal instinct for survival that you find in the 70s golden era of horror. Just enough dialogue and good shots to put you in the mood, but the real sauce of it all is in the action and the practical effects. Though not a 'masterpiece', it surely brings a lot to the table in a market oversaturated with movies that look and feel almost the same.
Craig S. Zahler has rapidly developed into one of the most fascinating writer-directors working today. He tells genre stories that are rooted in familiar archetypes and machismo, but unfolding in such a chaotic, amoral universe that one is never able to second guess where his characters will end up. The resulting splatter is something spectacular to behold: Zahler uses violence in a more intelligent, shocking manner this side of anyone since the glory days of Sam Peckinpah. He also tends to get the very best from his actors: Vince Vaughn deserved Oscar consideration for Brawl in Cell Block 99, while Richard Jenkins gives the performance of his career in Tomahawk. That speech about the flea circus was a little piece of nihilistic poetry.
I still think my favourite ending reaction from you had to be from Wind River, I think that movie is very important and it hits close to home as I’m an indigenous person my self and that message about missing indigenous women really brought a tear to my eye.
If you can handle violence, you should try Martyrs, the 2008 french original. It's one of the very, veery few hyper brutal movies that is actually great and not just violent for the sake of it. Plus it has some unique and beautiful shots. Tho it is definitely one of the hardest movies to sit through.
Was waiting to see your reaction to that scene and wondering if u would still say ‘what the heck’ or if you’d be so disgusted you would finally say ‘fuck’ and I was right😭😂😂
Genuinely the scariest and most horrific death scene I’ve ever witnessed in a movie I’ve seen. I’ve been very desensitized to gore for years but that moment genuinely made me physically Ill
I just watched this film. "That" scene left me cold-blooded, it was so unbelievably visceral and unexpected. It's rare for a film to have that much of an impact on me, as if I had just seen an actual death, not just one in a film.
I really love how this director takes his time fleshing out characters and motives and plot without letting the movie drag or overstay it's welcome. Pretty great movie from front to back.
I have never watched reaction channels like this before, but yours is excellent , i am really enjoying your content and i hope you do really well mate!
My grandma bought this movie when it first came out. Didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did when we watched it. Cool to see one of my fave reactors checking it out.
The screams from him during THAT scene, the timing of the screams, the noises of the wounds being inflicted on him, (not to be gross) but the feces running down his back after the first two strikes to his groin, just made that scene so much more realistic.
Lol it's not poop! It's blood! At least that's what's stated in the screen play. Just looks black in the lighting. Haha I see a lot of people say this but you can't show someone in the act of #2 in a rated R movie... Like showing it actually happening. You can show before the act, after the act, a person on the toilet with sound effects, and the "result" but not the act or a simulation that shows it coming out.... Lol never thought I'd have this discussion ever in my life haha
@@phatnana2379 oh okay gotcha lol yeah i guess the lighting makes it appear that way then. However, realistically speaking that would happen in "real life", so when i thought they showed that, it made the scene that much more haunting
@@camryneicher564 haha I'm REALLY glad they didn't show THAT!! I think that would have taken me right out of it... Like taking it from the most grisly, horrific death scene with an INCREDIBLE practical effect to a scene purely for shock value, if you know what I mean. Lol, another weird thing to actually type: it's not like immediately as Nick was dealt the blow that killed him he would "excrete." Rather, over a few minutes after dying, the body will "flux" so to speak. "Things" will kind of just seep out without the help of muscles pushing it along. So, you can imagine (if you REALLY want to lol) the body's position and gravity will determine the "velocity" of this "flux."..... Jesus, I spent way too much time thinking this out to explain lololol
I gotta admit I just subscribed after weeks of your content but MAN I have found some good ones thanks to you, gonna watch Bone Tomahawk tonight. Thanks for another great vid.
This movie was awesome. The characters were fantastic and so was the director. Every moment had me on the edge of my seat. Brooders character especially was fascinating.
Great choice! Now you've gotta watch the rest of S. Craig Zahler's films! He's a real anomaly amongst modern filmmakers. He really has his own aesthetic, tone, and sense of pacing, and all of his films are worthy of your time. Love your reactions, James!
When I see Matthew Fox all I think of is Lost haha. Great video btw! I'm learning a lot about filmmaking from your channel and you're really open to watching any genre. I can see that you're genuinely interested in everything you watch :)
Bro, found your channel a couple of days ago and I am hooked :) Binging everything. The movies you look at are exactly my taste. Keep it up and greetungs from Germany. Stay healthy all.
It’s even more than walking miles with just a hurting limp, that dude has his leg straight up broken! Lmao it reminds me of that old Madden Video “Greg Jennings put the team on his back tho!” Dude broke his leg in the first half then came back in the game and scored the game winning touchdown 😂😂😂 running downfield with the limp and all hahaha that is *EXACTLY* how I pictured dude in this movie lol
Just rewatched this movie. The four main leads were enough to convince me to watch it the first time. It seems long, but the chemistry between the cast is enough to keep you invested. I like the characters, especially Matthew Fox as John Brooder. Hated seeing him die, but at least he took out one of them. Arthur figuring out how to use their whistle and using it to lure them in was brilliant. I believe Kurt Russell starting working on "The Hateful 8" the day after he finished working on this film. I loved the sound design throughout the film as well. Those whistles/calls are something that I never wish to hear. I gave the film a 7/10 on IMDb. Underrated and S. Craig Zahler films are must see in my opinion.
This film is one of many which expertly changes it's genre halfway through. We go from watching a Western mystery to a full blown horror movie. It's an excellent storytelling device used in one of my favourite movies from last year, Knives Out. It may be the only movie to switch genres halfway through but revert back to the original by the movie's end.
Ive been going through all of your stuff man. You focus on a lot of the same things i do like framing the story told through it . your commentary is very enjoyable to watch. I know you mainly take patreon suggestions but if you havent seen it you should watch 13 assassins or headshot (head shot has alot of the cast and crew that worked on the raid redemption movies)
Love how this is shot and paced like a serious western for the majority of the film. Kinda feels like how from dusk till dawn is this crime romp and then all of a sudden takes a right turn outta nowhere. Gotta love kurt Russell rocking that hateful 8 stash to. Total bad ass.
(Intro death happens.) James: Aw that looks like a Mortal Kombat fatality! ( *That Scene* lurking in the dark recesses of this film...) That Scene: Hold my Bone Tomahawk™
That scene is one of those things that makes you think, "not only did someone write this down, but they went and friggen filmed it and no one ever stopped and asked if they should" You've never of heard it cause no quality person would tell another person to see it.
I told my friend to watch it with his girlfriend if he wants a good frightening film. I gave him a warning and I still don’t think it’s enough to prepare him or his girl lmao. Harmless prank tho.
The craziest part is that Bone Tomahawk is Zahler's feature debut and knocked that shit out of the park. And yes, definitely add Brawl in Cell Block 99 to your list. So good. Also, if you ever do merch for your channel, it needs be "Oh my goodness!" Just cracks me up every time.
Yeah, that scene really is crazy horrifying. But, seeing as they're cannibals, it's pretty much the equivalent of pulling the wishbone on thanksgiving. Just goofing around, playing with their food.
This director's other movies Brawl in Cell Block 99 and Dragged Across Concrete are so good as well brother! I was one of the ones keeping Mandy & Bone Tomahawk alive in the votes on Patreon lol
I saw your upload and got intrigued by the title of the movie for some reason. So I had to watch it. I enjoyed it, it's a quirky, weird and entertaining film. Great actors.
It was a crazy scene but a really good story. Apparently the filming was all done in 21 days. Chicory was my favorite character he added some comedy and down to earth to the film.
I loved this movie, you really get to know the characters and you care for them. The action style the director uses is insane. wide shots, quick realistic visceral brutalitiy. Your reactions were on point. jaw dropped eyes wide open :) his other movies feel similar in these ways. Quick action shots, great script, Great character development, no perfect heroes just mostly damaged people. lot if things are mentioned about them but a lot are up to interpretation and makes you think about their live even after you leave the theatre. brawl in cellblock 99 and dragged across the concrete are both great movies from Zahler which are worth to check out. but you need to get in the mindset :)
I didn’t know anything about this film before I watched but was blown away by it. Solid story and crazy violent action. Definitely check out Zahler’s next film, Brawl in Cell Block 99. Vince Vaughn does a phenomenal job!
This movie was unique and refreshing. The acting, dialogue, score, cinematography, no CGI. One of my favorite westerns without question Also S. Craig Zahler has 2 other movies unique and classic in their own way. All 3 of his movies have a gritty/gory element but the backbone of his leads' motivations are always honorable (I.e. love, protection, security)
The director of this one (Craig Zahler) is an interesting character. He writes (a lot) mainly novels/novellas and the like. He decided to start converting some of his unpublished works and ideas into films, and well it seems he has quite the knack for the film making process! 3 films so far, all fantastic. He has a really unique voice within his storytelling and its shines through in all of his films.
The screech from the tribal people from this movie is scarier than any "horror" movie that's come out in the past 10+ years. Especially the one from the big one inside the cave. 😱
Loved it. Loved the pacing, how they gave so much time for the journey, and especially the relationship between Kurt Russell and his deputy. Most harrowing scene for me wasn't *that*, I guess we're calling it, even though horrifying, but the reveal of the tribe's women. That shit was nasty.
Movies rarely have me as uncomfortable as I was in the deputy's death scene. I actually had a nightmare. So messed up. Another good western is The Proposition. Set in 1800's Australia. A pretty interesting time and setting. Gorgeous cinematography and music. Quite brutal too. Not as brutal as this though.
The Proposition is one of the best westerns ever made. Ironically, not technically a “western”, being that it’s Australian. But definitely beautiful/brutal.
@@stevenbatke4167 you're right. Technically not a western. But considering that Australia was also settled in the east and expanded west into native territory there's certainly a few similarities... Both similar on the surface but different in specifics and time

Please react to Stormzy Superheroes Music Video is mind-blowingly.
So far season 2 of 'The Boys' is BANANAS!
Please react to Color Out Of Space
I suggest The Nightstalker(72) directed by John Moxey with Darren McGavin and Barry Atwater as one one of the most realistically terrifying vampires I've ever seen in film, Once Were Warriors directed by Nikki Caro, El Mariachi directed by Robert Rodriguez, The Warriors and 48 Hours directed by Walter Hill.
SUSPIRIA,THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY
Hmmm, do I watch it all or immediately skip to James watching **that** scene...
Skip to that scene, then watch it all 👀😂
I cannot wait for that moment.
@@joelwoods7149 I'm there now! Skipped straight to it! Oh my goodness is right!
Same ha haha
Yup **that** scene reaction tells it all - for real, there are some evils in the world that cannot be reasoned with. 😭
THE DAMN LAST 20 MIN OF THIS WILD FLICK IS FOREVER BURNED INTO MY SKULL. YEEEESH.
Yeah, I’m shocked for life now 😂
@@JamesVSCinema Absolutely the best Western ever.
I commented in another video (Apocalypto) that you should review/react to this one... and then I found that you already did.
I first saw the Apocalypto react and now this. I also see you reacted to "Saving Private Ryan", "Sin City", "Gladiator", "No Country for Old Men" etc
Reacting to some good movies man, Im subscribing.....
A movie you should react to is "Nice Guys" with Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe.. I saw it recently, tips from Bill Burr.. absolutely one of the best comedies out there IMO
And just saw the moment the stables boy (the black kid) died... technically he didn't die first.. old man died in the beginning first 😂
This director's next movie, Brawl in Cell Block 99, is a different beast all it's own. Feature's a great brooding lead performance from Vince Vaughn.
Vince Vaughn is awesome, I’ll add that to the list!
This movie was bananas!!! Really enjoyed it!
Oh i didn't realise that was the same director. He did another one....concrete something or other? Been meaning to watch them both.
@@lungfulldrummer8921 Dragged Across Concrete with Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn! Haven’t seen it either, been a bitch finding it up here in Canada!
Really love brawl in cell block 99
The Split scene is the first time in ages that I can remember watching a death and actually feeling ill.
Yeah I almost ran away from the screen
The Comanche tribe did a lot of this style brutality but in the majority of cases I don’t blame them.
L
Im going to be honest here chief, I don’t care what’s been done to you or what the situation is, splitting a human being in half isn’t something I can just be okay with or ‘not blame them’. That shits wild

Y'all are WILD for suggesting that James watch Bone Tomahawk. Damn.
Yeah this was insane lmaooo
NOw I wanna see him watch Irreversible. This is a cakewalk compared to that
Could be worse, could be Cannibal Holocaust
Really? This movies really bruttal @goldenboy140
RIP to the man, the myth, the legend himself, Sid Haig. 🤡❤
(This was the same beard Kurt Russell utilized in The Hateful Eight.)
Knew it!
@@JamesVSCinema you should watch that as well if you havent seen it.
Came out the same year as Hateful 8
This movie should've been called "Brutal Violence Out of Nowhere... Suddenly"
There's brutal violence all through it - but yeah, that scene just punches you in the face.
That scene still is one of the most intense scenes I’ve ever seen … but the way the actors portrayed it … just, damn
People always bring up Terrifier and The Green Inferno in comparison to Deputy Nick's death and I HATE IT!!

I've always thought that this film looks like the sun is bleaching it's surroundings, like whenever they're outside it almost makes everything look abnormally white compared to what it regularly would.
That’s a really great take actually!
Absolutely underrated! This caught me completely off guard! Brilliant!
Yup same here!!
Flip it. Do Blazing Saddles next if you haven't seen it.
So you glad you watched this, one my fav Westerns of recent years, would recommend other movies from director, like Brawl in Cell Block 99 and Dragged Across Concrete.
I’ve heard about Cell Block 99, might add to the next poll!
I was camping alone, sitting beside a fire in the middle of a dark forest when i watched this movie the first time... scared the hell out of me... good times lol
I really like this movie, although I think general audiences might be pretty... *split in half*
😂😂😂 Nice one, yeah this movie was a split decision from me 👀
*Puts on sunglasses* YEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
This movie sure had a lot of guts doing those gore scenes
The filmmaker is a huge D&D nerd that utilizes his DM skills to write these movies.
I love Zahler. All of his films are amazing.
Yeah this film was badass
@@JamesVSCinema Brawl in Cell Block 99 and Dragged Across Concrete are amazing too.

Of this directors other movies, "Dragged Across Concrete" is really good, though perhaps a bit too long, and "Brawl in Cell Block 99" is FANTASTIC.
The dialogue and acting are what sets this movie apart from so many others. It's top tier and quickly became one of my favorite movies of all time.
Another favorite of mine. Dude, you are killing it with these reactions. Love how you watch more obscure or underrated movies. Keep it up bro.
I love it that everyone digs them as well! Honestly these films really do educate me as a filmmaker!
There's violent films and there's VIOLENT films. This one is 100% the latter. I usually stay away from that kind of movie to avoid having nightmares.
At the beginning, you say this is growing fast. That is absolutely because your love of film and humanity shines right through! Thank you soooo much!
I still think my favourite ending reaction from you had to be from Wind River, I think that movie is very important and it hits close to home as I’m an indigenous person my self and that message about missing indigenous women really brought a tear to my eye.
DRAGGED ACROSS CONCRETE from the same director should be next. A masterpiece.
Another superb film that is off convention.
"Yo he knocked his whole head off."

Bro, found your channel a couple of days ago and I am hooked :) Binging everything. The movies you look at are exactly my taste. Keep it up and greetungs from Germany. Stay healthy all.
7:51 when you realize it's a horror movie
Holy shit its captain Spalding
This movie was an instant classic for me when i first saw it. I LOVE western horror's, wish they made more.
It’s even more than walking miles with just a hurting limp, that dude has his leg straight up broken!
Lmao it reminds me of that old Madden Video
“Greg Jennings put the team on his back tho!” Dude broke his leg in the first half then came back in the game and scored the game winning touchdown 😂😂😂 running downfield with the limp and all hahaha that is *EXACTLY* how I pictured dude in this movie lol
Just rewatched this movie. The four main leads were enough to convince me to watch it the first time. It seems long, but the chemistry between the cast is enough to keep you invested. I like the characters, especially Matthew Fox as John Brooder. Hated seeing him die, but at least he took out one of them. Arthur figuring out how to use their whistle and using it to lure them in was brilliant. I believe Kurt Russell starting working on "The Hateful 8" the day after he finished working on this film. I loved the sound design throughout the film as well. Those whistles/calls are something that I never wish to hear. I gave the film a 7/10 on IMDb. Underrated and S. Craig Zahler films are must see in my opinion.
This film is one of many which expertly changes it's genre halfway through. We go from watching a Western mystery to a full blown horror movie. It's an excellent storytelling device used in one of my favourite movies from last year, Knives Out. It may be the only movie to switch genres halfway through but revert back to the original by the movie's end.
Yeah this movie had me guessing almost the entire time but when those horror moments happen, it does a great job with suspense!
Im so glad you reviewed this! I saw it the first time in a breakroom on a fishing boat up in alaska and was absolutely amazed.
Hahaha holy shit that’s pretty cool. Glad you dug it!
Ive been going through all of your stuff man. You focus on a lot of the same things i do like framing the story told through it . your commentary is very enjoyable to watch. I know you mainly take patreon suggestions but if you havent seen it you should watch 13 assassins or headshot (head shot has alot of the cast and crew that worked on the raid redemption movies)
Definitely gonna have to add Brawl In Cell Block 99 to your list now too.
"Hmm I wonder if James has any new videos up?" And just like that the buried memories return. DAMMIT PATREON
THEY ARE WILD!
Love how this is shot and paced like a serious western for the majority of the film.
Kinda feels like how from dusk till dawn is this crime romp and then all of a sudden takes a right turn outta nowhere.
Gotta love kurt Russell rocking that hateful 8 stash to. Total bad ass.
Oh yeah that look on Kurt is soo dope!
(Intro death happens.)
James: Aw that looks like a Mortal Kombat fatality!
( *That Scene* lurking in the dark recesses of this film...)
That Scene: Hold my Bone Tomahawk™
That scene is one of those things that makes you think, "not only did someone write this down, but they went and friggen filmed it and no one ever stopped and asked if they should"
You've never of heard it cause no quality person would tell another person to see it.
How do you even describe that butt chopping scene in text?
I told my friend to watch it with his girlfriend if he wants a good frightening film. I gave him a warning and I still don’t think it’s enough to prepare him or his girl lmao. Harmless prank tho.
“Say goodbye to my wife… I’ll say hello to yours”… gawdddd damnnn that hits.
The craziest part is that Bone Tomahawk is Zahler's feature debut and knocked that shit out of the park. And yes, definitely add Brawl in Cell Block 99 to your list. So good.
Also, if you ever do merch for your channel, it needs be "Oh my goodness!" Just cracks me up every time.
I saw this film last night, I now consider it one of my favorite westerns! Up there with classic Clint Eastwood films.
Yeah, that scene really is crazy horrifying. But, seeing as they're cannibals, it's pretty much the equivalent of pulling the wishbone on thanksgiving. Just goofing around, playing with their food.
This guy's channel
DON'T MISS!!
Great review, found your channel by accident, glad I did. Bingin your reviews now. Cheers!
Not a wasted line of dialog in this film. Our characters are representations of Duty, Loyalty, Love and Rage.
“Let’s get into bone tomahawk”
No, bone tomahawk gets into you.
Starts off with brutal throat slashing. 😂
This director's other movies Brawl in Cell Block 99 and Dragged Across Concrete are so good as well brother! I was one of the ones keeping Mandy & Bone Tomahawk alive in the votes on Patreon lol
Hahahaha my man! The community for those movies were strong! ✊🏽
This movie was brutal af. I loved the practical gore effects. Almost like watching an 80's horror movie. Hope it didn't scar you for life, man.
I saw your upload and got intrigued by the title of the movie for some reason. So I had to watch it. I enjoyed it, it's a quirky, weird and entertaining film. Great actors.
It was a crazy scene but a really good story. Apparently the filming was all done in 21 days. Chicory was my favorite character he added some comedy and down to earth to the film.
I loved this movie, you really get to know the characters and you care for them. The action style the director uses is insane. wide shots, quick realistic visceral brutalitiy. Your reactions were on point. jaw dropped eyes wide open :) his other movies feel similar in these ways. Quick action shots, great script, Great character development, no perfect heroes just mostly damaged people. lot if things are mentioned about them but a lot are up to interpretation and makes you think about their live even after you leave the theatre. brawl in cellblock 99 and dragged across the concrete are both great movies from Zahler which are worth to check out. but you need to get in the mindset :)
This is one crazee ass film and you're facial expressions and reactions summed it up pretty well bro
Oh yeah bro this was freaking wild
Love this film, and it's great to see "Captain Spaulding" from House of 1000 corpses at the beginning.
RIP Sid Haig
Thanks for the love buddy :)
Heck yeah! I've been waiting for someone to react to this... for obvious reason.
😂😂😂
“No Obamacare or nothing” 😂😂😂
I didn’t know anything about this film before I watched but was blown away by it. Solid story and crazy violent action. Definitely check out Zahler’s next film, Brawl in Cell Block 99. Vince Vaughn does a phenomenal job!
This movie was unique and refreshing. The acting, dialogue, score, cinematography, no CGI. One of my favorite westerns without question
Also S. Craig Zahler has 2 other movies unique and classic in their own way. All 3 of his movies have a gritty/gory element but the backbone of his leads' motivations are always honorable (I.e. love, protection, security)
Tom Boneahawk sent me.
This is the first time i've heard you say "fuck". And honestly this movie definitely has warranted that reaction.
The director of this one (Craig Zahler) is an interesting character. He writes (a lot) mainly novels/novellas and the like.
He decided to start converting some of his unpublished works and ideas into films, and well it seems he has quite the knack for the film making process!
3 films so far, all fantastic. He has a really unique voice within his storytelling and its shines through in all of his films.
It's that lack of music that makes the ambush scenes so great.
$1.8 mil budget. Pretty amazing.
Brawl in Cell Block 99 should be an immediate next watch. Same director/writer, one of my favorites in the last 10 years.
I’ll be adding that to the next patreon!
One of my favorite westerns! Excited you watched it!
Oh yes! This film is an Underrated gem! I was so happy to see you reacting to this 😁 can't wait to watch it now! Keep the great work!
Kurt Russell, Sid Haig ( rip ) Matthew Fox, Patrick Wilson, David Arquette.. What a wonderful cast, and movie.
Badass casting!
The screech from the tribal people from this movie is scarier than any "horror" movie that's come out in the past 10+ years. Especially the one from the big one inside the cave. 😱
Homeboy is Sid Haig aka Captain Spaulding, incredible character actor with an almost 60 year career.
love being traumatized by this movie all over again! honestly thank god your face covered it. thank god bro.
Loved it. Loved the pacing, how they gave so much time for the journey, and especially the relationship between Kurt Russell and his deputy.
Most harrowing scene for me wasn't *that*, I guess we're calling it, even though horrifying, but the reveal of the tribe's women. That shit was nasty.
It’s impossible to get from a reaction vid, but the dialogue in S. Craig Zahler films is amazing. It’s almost half the appeal for me
Movies rarely have me as uncomfortable as I was in the deputy's death scene.
I actually had a nightmare.
So messed up.
Another good western is The Proposition. Set in 1800's Australia.
A pretty interesting time and setting. Gorgeous cinematography and music. Quite brutal too. Not as brutal as this though.
The Proposition is one of the best westerns ever made. Ironically, not technically a “western”, being that it’s Australian. But definitely beautiful/brutal.
@@stevenbatke4167 you're right. Technically not a western. But considering that Australia was also settled in the east and expanded west into native territory there's certainly a few similarities...
Both similar on the surface but different in specifics and time
@@heals12 I’ll stop being picky. It’s a western in genre, not in location.
