If Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom hit the spot, these will too

Dread-soaked and unsettling in the same breath
The difference: Goes its own way on the stillness

Both lean on stillness more than on horror

One thread runs through both: sadism
The difference: Made in the 2000s, in a different era of the craft

Drama built on grit, twice over
The difference: Leans further into western

Dread-soaked horror, and it commits to that

Drama with a pulse of unease, in both cases

Contemplative horror in both cases

The same preoccupation in both: sadism
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics


Both sit in the same unsettling register

Both run gritty where it counts

The shared currency is stillness
