Bad teeth, foul mouth, nasty clothes, mean to the bone, and that's just Jennifer Jason Leigh's character! So the question is, "what do you get when you put 8 strangers in a one room lodge in the middle of a blizzard, in a Tarantino movie"? Blood, gore, awesome stories, great casting, and a twist or two that keeps you wanting more. Before I begin I want to say that this may be my new favorite Tarantino movie so far. I loved every minute of it! There were some good and bad reviews on this flick and didn't quite understand why people didn't like it. I have heard comments like worst Tarantino movie ever, and painful to watch. I think these people were short sided and didn't have the vision of an actual mystery story that is being told. Dialogue is a backbone of a good story and although many of the conversations didn't come to a brilliant epiphany, they were extremely entertaining. This is a bit of a who done it film with eight strangers trapped in a lodge, all with a dark side and mystery surrounding every aspect. There are ulterior motives, double crossing, and murder that only gets more gruesome as the night goes on. I would highly recommend this movie, especially is you are a true Tarantino fan with patience for a great movie.
FYI: The composer of this score claimed he would never work with Tarantino again after Django...
****1/2
