Films worth a watch.

Quote:Four men set out in the Wild West to rescue a group of captives from cannibalistic cave dwellers.

I'd heard this was quite good so decided I'd give it a watch. It's another of the modern western films which have been made with the sole purpose of trying to be a 'modern classic'. This is a pseudo Western - Horror as it is very visually brutal with the violence in parts. (One in particular where it would have been more powerful to skip some of the specifics of the 'brutal act' imho, but the director chose to show it in all of it's gory-glory.)
Like the two recent big hitting Westerns, this is a slow burner.

I've now decided I'm obviously not a 'Western' fan, as I thought the Hateful Eight was rubbish. Over three hours for 30 mins of action. 
The Revenant was better, but again, a slow burner which relied on brutal gore to shock and had a lead character who, if a normal human being would have been killed numerous times in the film. 
This film looked to be developing a good traditional 'ish' plot as the sub and main plots came together, but then went a bit too gory for me. More B Movie style like  'The Hills Have Eyes' than a Western. I don't mind horror films, but this just felt wrong for the film. But, that is probably my personal taste so maybe not too valid a point.
