And then there's Doug Jones who is quietly becoming the only choice to play a monster for most studios (when he's not playing a villain in a superhero show).. He's the creature in every G Del Toro flick.
Slated to play Nosferatu, Frankenstein in the upcoming Universal reworkings, Creature From The Black Lagoon.. etc
I just watched that too! Holy shit!
Gonna try to catch The Revenant sometimes this week(/end). Really looking forward to Krampus next week too.
Krampus was pretty solid. As far as Christmas movies from last year go, The Night Before edges Krampus out for me.
I f'n loved this movie.
It was near perfection for the type of film it is.
Cheers to the filmmaker to tackle this type of production.
And just because this The Revenant was great - should not preclude people from seeing the other The Revenant from a few years earlier. Also great, just a different kind of great.
Counting down to Civil War. Can't wait... full-service theater with reclining seats.
I watch about 3 movies a year... so I make it count!

After seeing The Revenant I was immediately interested in learning the filming locations - assuming it was Swiss or Austrian - maybe Alaska but it turns out many of the huge scenes were filmed at Spray Lake, Alberta - which was a random day trip I took from Banff a couple years back.
A very cool, kinda secret drive (saw maybe two other cars over four hours) that circles around this area and dumps you back in Canmore/Dead Man's Flats, which is where the soldier village was filmed .
@The Hammer have you visited these spots?
Many photos of this spot on my Flickr photo page.

Had the potential to break the movie, and they absolutely nailed it's movements.
I saw The Night Before and really enjoyed. Talk about two different kind of movies though.
That scene was a nice bonus to an already profound film.
I really loved the part when LC came across the lone Pawnee tending the fire. Felt like a James Bama painting come to life..
Funny how this film portrayed the Pawnee as more sympathetic and the Sioux as more aggressive where Dances w Wolves made Pawnee out as Apache type mohawked raiders and killers..
There is an outstanding book about the rise and fall of America's deadliest indians, The Comanche called Empire of The Summer Moon that is being produced as a movie (some of the same story as the old John Wayne film The Searchers) - and I hope they look at The Revenant as a reference for how a film of this type might look..
Yeah, not even in the same universe.

A friend recently recommended that book to me. He said it is really grusome and violent.

It is really nice out there right where the Rockies meet the Prairies. Did you get to that glacier where they show how far it has referred?
I think they film a lot of movies in Alberta.

Saw Bow Glacier from pretty far away if that's the one.
Yeah they film all kinda stuff there. Some of the Fargo series shot in almost the same spot as The Revenant.
And then there's always the FUBAR movies lol..

The FUBAr movies are classic, and very different.
The second one offered a nice look into what life is like in the oil capital,Fort MacMurray.
Get a bunch of men together making 4 times doing a job as what you make anywhere else. You get drugs, strippers and hookers.
Some of the stuff is the most gruesome imagery I can possibly imagine..
It's pretty hardcore..
Yeah, that is how I heard it described. That they did not hold anything back.
