Yes, it's definitely a horror film. It's unfortunate that the horror aspect is an invented native American tribe that specialises in nauseating cruelty such as mutilating women, blinding them and cutting off their limbs, cannibalism, various other awful practices. I agree that many of the white protaganists are as grimly repellant as the old west probably was.

Oh. You didn't like it. Probably the only movie I've seen where I reacted somewhat similarly was Kingsmen. I'd forgotten the gruesome and variously offensive readings of BT, I just remember a highly original overall treatment. We're in the middle of watching Woman Walks Alone, in which assorted atrocities are verbally described in some graphic detail, but not shown. It includes a sympathetic retelling of the wild west, from the natives' perspective, using an irritatingly flat and anachronistic delivery. Good intentions.

Now that Milko has mentioned it I’ll say that Tombstone is one of my favourites.
If Young Guns is ‘80’s Hollywood’ then Tombstone is ‘90’s Hollywood’. I found it more enjoyable than Kevin Costner’s Wyatt Earp that came out the same year.

Other favourites are ‘Once Upon A Time in the West’ and ‘Pale Rider’.

Pale Rider is a Clint Eastwood film about gold panners going up against a mining company. Not too original and probably some nostalgia involved from watching it since I was a kid.

Horizon: An American Saga Part 1 I saw at the cinema and found it to enjoyable - if a little close to dragging at times. With it not doing well there’s a possibility Part 3 won’t happen (part 2 had been done before the 1st part was out).
