Jordan Todoruk is a Features Writer at Collider who focuses on writing about Television and Movies.
The Big Picture Horror Westerns, by now, have firmly cemented their place inside the pantheon of American films, with movies like Bone Tomahawk putting a supernatural spin on the traditional duster. It's the meeting point of the loneliness and existential dread of an untamed America and the otherworldly terrors of the supernatural. Unknown, inhumane forces exact their toll in lurid cowboy fashion.

John Wayne stars as John Mason, the white-hatted harmonica-playing cowboy casually out on a night ride away from home. This evening, his ranch hand, Clarence Washington Brown , accompanies him.
1:50 Related The Only Western With John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda, & the Rest of Hollywood The box office hit had an A-list cast and was directed by three of the best filmmakers of their generation. The two almost come to blows, but the kerfuffle is broken up by the mayor, who invites John back to his house when he learns that John's father was the original owner of the mine.
Wayne's performance is something you would expect from him, but it loses all its gravitas when placed inside a creepy old house with all the standard bump-in-the-night horror motifs against the softest gang in the world. John's good-guy charm carries him through the film, with his actions being more or less determined by a series of strange characters who seem weird just for the sake of being weird. A wraith-like old lady pours him tea, and he awkwardly stares at her.
