Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGuy Pearce admitted that he had trouble getting the accent of the Reverend right, who is supposed to be Dutch. He called it one of the hardest accents in the world, but worked hard to get as close as he could, hoping that Dutch audiences would forgive him if it did not sound completely right.
- GoofsThe Accles & Shelvoke captive bolt pistol used to kill the pig was invented in 1903. Though the movie does not specify what year it is, the voice-over talks about 'the old century ', which means the epilogue is probably set in the 20th century and the rest in the three decades before.
- Quotes
The Reverend: People think it's the flames that make Hell unbearable. It's not. It is the absence of love.

Featured review
Well made film with disturbing subject matter
Woman is chased by a vengeful preacher with time jumps and anachronistic storytelling. This Western-thriller is disturbing in its subject matter (rape including of children/child abuse/suicide) in addition to the regular murder and violence one expects from the genre. The cast in this film acted their hearts out and drawn out lead up to the confrontation is incredibly tense. Guy Pearce's character is a monster of the human kind and just gets worse with every revelation. The reveal of the narrator at the end ties the film together. The film itself is well shot and and the locations well-chosen. Time jumps can get a bit confusing and tend to break the pace, but do give the revelations time to breathe. If you can stand the premise, you certainly won't be bored.
