About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gritty, slow-building western that turns into harsh horror with dry humor and intense moments; Not for you if you dislike slow pacing or graphic brutality, even compared to The Conjuring.
Pros: strong cast chemistry; tense slow-burn build; unique western-horror mix | Cons: very slow early stretch; bursts of graphic violence; abrupt-feeling wrap-up
