Unsurprisingly,both critics and audiences preferredTombstone’smore action-heavy approach.

It’s a completely unpretentious Western that upends the genre the same way as Raimi’sEvil Deadseries did for horror.

Craig Zahlerlets the horror unfold in slow-burn fashion, butwhen the gore cuts loose it is truly unsettling.
