What on earth does that have to do with action/horror/sci fi hybrid blockbusters?

Just saw Hold the Dark on Netflix. Was really looking forward to it as I really liked Green Room and absolutely loved Blue Ruin (all directed by Jeremy Saulnier). I think this is definitely the weakest of the three, but was still a good movie overall.

Some wonderful looking shots and does a great job building up an atmosphere/mood. I couldn't help but think of Wind River (which I thought was just OK overall). Does a great job making you feel like you're out in the cold yourself, much like Wind River.

Like Blue Ruin and Green Room, Saulnier continues the theme of directing gore/violence insanely well. There's one set piece about 2/3 in that is really well done.

Main issue was that I didn't particularly care for Skarsgard's performance/character. After one of the better character introductions I'd seen in a while, the rest of the movie he just came across as kind of hokey.
