The Hateful Eight Ratings & Reviews
- The Gutter MonkeyFebruary 23, 2025Going back to his less over-the-top roots, this is the more grounded Tarantino I'd been craving.
- RyezooFebruary 20, 2025I watched this whole film the first time with a smile across my face ear to ear. The dialogue is masterful, the shots are beautiful, the score draws you in, and the actors sell every moment of it. Tarantino is on such a hot streak, I really hope he continues to make films for many years to come.

- BigRettFebruary 15, 2025Quentin Tarantino has crafted many unforgettable films, but The Hateful Eight is a standout masterpiece that I absolutely loved from start to finish. This film is a slow-burning, dialogue-driven, tension-packed work of art that takes its time unravelling a brutal, bloody, and wickedly entertaining story. From the moment the film begins with Ennio Morricone’s hauntingly beautiful score, I was completely immersed. The cinematography is breathtaking! Every snowy landscape and dimly lit interior of Minnie’s Haberdashery is captured with such meticulous detail. And the 70mm format? Absolutely gorgeous. It gives the film a classic Western feel while maintaining that uniquely Tarantino style. What really hooked me was the characters and performances. Every single actor brings their A-game. Samuel L. Jackson as Major Marquis Warren delivers one of his best performances, balancing charisma, intelligence, and cold-blooded ruthlessness. Kurt Russell as John Ruth is a force of nature, and Jennifer Jason Leigh as Daisy Domergue? Completely unhinged and impossible to look away from. The rest of the cast—Tim Roth, Walton Goggins, Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern, and Demian Bichir—each add layers of mystery and suspense that kept me guessing throughout. Tarantino’s writing is as sharp as ever, filled with dark humour, tension-filled dialogue, and explosive moments of violence that left me on the edge of my seat. The way the film unfolds, with its deliberate pacing and chapter structure, makes every revelation hit hard. By the time the story reaches its climax, I was completely engrossed in the chaos, brutality, and poetic justice that unfolded. If there’s one thing I love about Tarantino, it’s his ability to create an experience rather than just a film. The Hateful Eight is more than just a Western—it’s a murder mystery, a psychological thriller, and a character study wrapped in one beautifully violent package. It’s brilliantly written, flawlessly acted, and visually stunning, and I couldn’t have enjoyed it more. For me, this is one of Tarantino’s finest works, and I’ll never get tired of re-watching it.
- Daryl WilliamsFebruary 10, 2025One of QT's best. The atmosphere can't be beaten, characters are fleshed out and writing is perfection.
