Considering the mash-up of horror and western genres is quite limited, this offering from S. Craig Zahler gets the job done with a fun cast: Kurt Russell, Richard Jenkins, Patrick Wilson, Matthew Fox and Lili Simmons doing the heavy lifting. While quite a bit of the film is build-up, it doesn't skimp on the horror when it finally reaches that point. Though it isn't exactly a masterpiece, it's still an interesting watch.

A disappointment considering the awesome cast and initial conceit of adding a horror element to the classic western setting. We spend a vast majority of this slow paced endeavor listening to some average dialogue from dense characters at odds with each other, as they forcibly band together in a long trek. The ending finally introduces these weird unexplained killer cannibals and it becomes a dumb gore-fest. The actors and the gore were entertaining enough, but the whole movie was pretty underwhelming.
