    Storyline

    Edit
    A triumphant epic of survival and a tale of powerful womanhood and resistance against the unforgiving cruelty of a hell on earth. Our heroine is Liz (Dakota Fanning), carved from the beautiful wilderness, full of heart and grit, hunted by a vengeful Preacher (Guy Pearce) - a diabolical zealot and her twisted nemesis. But Liz is a genuine survivor; she's no victim - a woman of fearsome strength who responds with astonishing bravery to claim the better life she and her daughter deserve. Fear not. Retribution is coming. —Anonymous

    • Trivia
      Guy 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.
    • Goofs
      The 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.

    Horror in the West
    This is a great but very violent filming about among other things misogyny.It's really a Horror film set in the Old West.Has a go at religion which i like,and has great acting by all,and my favourite actor Guy Pearce in evil but fine form.
