Gun play, period costume, and the setting suggest that this is a WESTERN. But, the plot is a MYSTERY...one of those "who-dun-its" that takes place in a large, snowed-in stagecoach station known as "Minnie's Haberdashery." Sorting the mystery out requires frequent, extreme, graphic violence, as one-by-one, suspects and characters are literally "eliminated" from the story. The resulting GORE (bloodshed is too mild a descriptor) is where the movie turns HORROR film, complete with a witch right out of "Macbeth.". Samuel L. Jackson launches into a TOO-LONG, TOO-DISGUSTING, and TOO-PROFANE monologue lasting MANY minutes, which seem like hours, merely to provoke another character into drawing his gun. This grotesque, profane monologue, itself, would discourage many from viewing (listening to) the movie more than once. In the end, a rather clever movie ends up feeling exhausting more than entertaining. Not the thing to draw frequent, repeat viewers.Read full review

I was excited to see this movie with all the great actors but was very disappointed from the beginning. The story line was so slow and didn't make a lot of sense from the beginning. It was pretty gruesome and the language was filthy. Overall I was just not happy with the movie period. I would not watch it again nor would I recommend it to anyone. This is my opinion only, others may have loved it??

This movie is engaging from the very beginning up until the final minute! The suspenseful intriquing plot and excellent top star actors/ actress make this one of the best western/action/suspense films EVER produced! So many movies made in the last 10 years that while watching your mind will wander to other thoughts because they are unoriginal, use worn out themes and lack in quality, nothing that focuses your mind to be intrigued!! The Hateful Eight will not disappoint you. 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Not as good as Django. I watch Tarantino because he often has a good moral to the story. This one missed although it certainly had a moral.

Believe me when I tell you this is NOT the old John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, William Holden style Western. This isn't even the, everyone's a bad guy, new style of Western. This is a Quentin Tarantino, everyone is a terribly bad guy, (and or gal), foul mouthed, politically incorrect and just about any other nasty thing a person can be, type of Western. Bruce Dern is in it, but he has been in every Western ever made so it's only fitting he's in this one. And he is great in this one as is everyone else in the cast. Kurt Russell was born to be in westerns and Samuel l Jackson and Tim Roth should be in more westerns but they don't make them anymore. And then there was Jennifer Jason Leigh whose character was despicable and hilarious at the same time. I knew I shouldn't but I couldn't help but laugh every time she spewed out some nastiness. She was hilarious. Plus the whole cast was very well chosen. This was very very long movie, not quite 3 hours. There was a lot of long-winded dialogue, but in the middle of that long windedness there would be a one liner that was great. Plus I personally thought that the long-windedness really helped to round out the characters. But when the real action started, that is the gruesome bloodletting that Tarantino is so noted for, it is Non-Stop. If you are queasy around blood you definitely do not want to see this because blood flies and spews everywhere. None of the characters are spared from the bloodletting and there was even a head that exploded and disappeared. Well I guess I just gave away and spoiled the whole movie. I like westerns, old style or new style and I really really liked this one even though it was really long winded like me.Read full review
