Connections, in both directions
Reuniting A Horrible Way to Die writer Simon Barrett and director Adam Wingard, this low-budget home-invasion movie—shot on video and looking it—works both on its own terms and as a throwback to such slapped-together shockers as Fight for Your Life (1977) and Last House on Dead End Street (made in 1973 and released in 1977).
The Hateful Eight (2015)
Directed by Quentin Tarantino
influenced by Fight for Your Life (1977)
Plot
Cabin-feverish though it is, The Hateful Eight is still an elegantly composed chamber piece whose DNA shows a little bit of Andrei Konchalovsky’s Uncle Vanya (1970), a touch of Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead 2 (1987), and just a dash of Robert A. Endelson’s Fight for Your Life (1977).
It is not, perhaps, as radical as some have made it out to be — screen Fight for Your Life or The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith for such people — but it’s still an electrifying achievement.
