Is this a mixed genre film?

Yeah pretty much, its mainly 90mins of walking and searching then 30 mins of horror, with torture deaths and misery.

Dead Birds (2004) and The Burrowers (2008) are some others.

Basically a Western with some (strong) horror elements.

Surprised more horror westerns haven’t been made since. Fingers crossed that Blood Meridian gets made soon.

Would love to see Blood Meridian, but I don’t think it will happen. Ridley Scott, Todd Field, James Franco, John Hillcoat all have attempted and failed. The last I heard was Tommy Lee Jones had the rights and sent in a script and was texted by all major studies due to the violence and disturbing acts.

John Hillcoat is attempting right now. Or has he failed in the past?

[–] Poozer91 (628) 2 days ago

I know he attempted once already. If he is attempting again I will be rooting for him. He made The Proposition which is a highly underrated western that proves he is well suiting to adapting Cormac McCarthy.
