  Honestly don’t think I’ve seen this one since it came out - it fucks. This ranks up there with The Thing and The Great Silence in terms of bleak ass wintery force of nature type backdrops that make you feel cold.

  Cajun, drunk, moonshiner Wilford Brimley, shooting bow and arrow from horseback and blowing shit up is the raison d'être of cinema. RIP.

  It was my birthday and my guy Bernie took Nevada so I celebrated by having a game of thrones beer and a modicum of tequila and watching this masterpiece. Prime Cage, wonderful score, superbly original metal-genre flick. I haven't seen Color out of Space yet, but I find it so wonderful that Elijah Wood is using that LOTR, Frodo bag to finance peak Cage sci-fi performances. I hope this collaboration continues indefinitely.
