Never forgot Patrick Wilson after seeing Hard Candy. Little Children is also a damn good movie all around.

[@gogousa6661]

Fargo Season 2 and Hard Candy(excellent performance by Page as well) are Fantastic but also Patrick Wilson has made much needed high quality Horror movie performances over both the Conjuring and Insidious Trilogies. Amazing Chemistry with almost everyone he works with.

[@maximillianosaben]

@@gogousa6661 - The first Insidious is my favorite of Wan's horror movies. Saw is more of a horror/thriller, otherwise that one story-wise captures my interests more. But, yeah, I love Wilson/Wan's collaborations. Cool to see them both returning for Aquaman 2.

The sound design in this movie is also top-notch, adds extra layers of dread, and of course, really punctuates "the scene".

[@phatnana2379]

You should check out the actual soundtrack if you haven't already. Besides the violins that we hear clearly, there are some incredible soundscapes of a score hiding in many scenes. Terrifying drones leveled to be just underneath the natural sounds of the film. My band uses the track "Den of Boartusks" for live shows when we have breaks for tuning

[@justingilliland360]

Definitely one of the most underrated movies of the last decade. Incredible shots and atmosphere, and great performances all around. Him putting his horse down was genuinely heartbreaking

Oh. This movie was very highly rated when it came out. It was never going to be a blockbuster given how despairing and brutal it was. My wife loved it, but said she'll never watch it again and would never recommend it to anyone.

I like this movie alot. I love how it fucks your expectation of "how movies are done" as in it'll build tention, and build, and build, then release it with nothing... then drop the hammer on you when you are in that 'come down' feeling and it just fucks with you even more.

That "scene" at the end of the film stuck with me. One of those moments in films that never leaves you, it's pretty terrifying in how real, but nightmarish it feels. The sheer silence after it only makes it sink in more.

[@alanhigh8125]

The West really was this brutal. There were Indian tribes that practiced cannibalism, during the colonial period as well as the Westward expansion. It just isn't spoken about because it's not politically correct, and runs counter to the prevailing narrative. Some reviewers have called this movie racist. It's not. It's courageous for unflinchingly depicting how dark and brutal the West could be. After the Battle of the Little Big Horn (Greasy Grass), the Sioux women dismembered the dead cavalrymen, to disable them in the afterlife. It was also common for some tribes to eat the hearts of their vanquished enemies.

[@henryviper9091]

Just rewatched this two nights ago! So glad you're reacting to this one, hell of a movie!

[@Veninja]

This movie was a huge pleasant surprise for me when I saw it, I knew nothing about it, but every detail is fantastically executed. Like you often mention, the dialog is so unique but effective, it almost deserves its own classification: something like "theatrical realism," because all the lines of dialog are delivered like you're watching a stage play, but it all takes place in a brutally real wild-west setting.

[@mrjackelbox4418]

Just watched this picture and I must say absolutely phenomenal... The story is so well done and I really felt for the people in it absolutely brilliantly done

[@shamusbob7969]

I love this guy he is so joyful despite reacting to horrifying violence

[@smallmanbigmouth2699]

Similar atmosphere is the remake of “3:10 to Yuma” . A western where a captured outlaw, Ben Wade (Russell Crowe), must be brought to stand trial. So a rancher (Christian Bale) who’s been unable to make much money and support his family (which clearly weighs heavily on him) due to weather etc, takes the dangerous job of escorting Wade to the train that will bring him to the courthouse in Yuma. Wade’s crew are privy to the route they’re taking and are hell bent on springing him. As the story progresses, both the rancher and the outlaw start finding a new respect for each other…which gives this typical western yarn a twist you dont see coming. Its a great slow burn with fantastic acting and a. superb supporting role played by the underrated Ben Foster.

[@natecloe8535]

I think the horror aspect increases when the story is based on, or parallel to, a true story. This could be a reference to anything from the cannibalistic tribes hidden in national parks theory. To Portlock Alaska lore. To Lovelock Cave and the tribe of giants that were trapped and killed by the Ute tribes.

I think Krampus, the 2015 movie, has a slightly better sound design but it's close. Kurt Russell also plays this so well. One of his better movies, he's not quite as good as he was in Death-Proof but that's just down to the directors. Tarantino will always get the best performance, and that's in no way a bad thing... I love that line he says, "what are you doing in my breakfast?".
