Programmer's Pick
Think The Dirty Dozen by way of a nightmare: Cut-Throats Nine gleefully shreds the line between western grit and horror nihilism, with convicts as monstrous as the wilderness itself. If your idea of a trail ride includes blood splatter, mass betrayal, and a dash of folk horror, saddle up.
