Is it a WESTERN or a HORROR FILM or a MYSTERY? Well...ALL OF THE ABOVE!
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.
