Scalping Plus Scene(Spoiler)


The scalping scene was harsh enough and kind of expected but the 'halving' was way more intense. I was taken aback because most of the movie wasn't that explicit but when that happened---wow. I never forget certain scenes and that was one of them.

I think the fact that the movie hadn't gone majorly overboard on gore up till that point made the scene even more impactful.

The films opens with a close up of some dude getting his throat cut with a rusty, dull blade.

There's also the kid who gets killed in the barn, but it wasn't a wall-to-wall gorefest.

I’ll give you the kid’s scene, but that opening scene was hard to watch imo.

Absolutely horrifying. Even scarier is that tribes like the Comanche did this kind of thing for real. If you ever want to read about real life horror shows check out Empire of the Summer Moon by S.C. Gwynne.
