A wonderful fusion of tropes - horror, gothic ghost story, revisionist western & the bad town noir - & a fascinating illustration of just how much the counterculture had penetrated US society by the early 1970s.

unlabelledView post →[Movie] Pale Rider / High Plains Drifter - *almost* Weird West. Pale Rider and High Plains Drifter are both Clint Eastwood movies that *almost* fit into the Weird West category. In both movies, there aren't any visuals that would make you think they were Weird Westerns; they're both standard Clint Eastwood Westerns. Yet both movies subtly hint that Clint Eastwood's character died prior to the events of the movie and he's back as a ghost to get revenge. So if he's a ghost, then I'd say these…

unlabelledView post →High Plains Drifter is a 1973 slow burn western movie made by a huge asshole that is kind of fucked up in a lot of parts but is also a really good revenge story in a fucked up way.

Hell Night. A movie compared by Tarantino to Funhouse; great but not better. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky🎥
unlabelledView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched All new to me except one. Not gonna tell ya which one, you figure it out. Also this week I watched High Plains Drifter with Clint Eastwood and a Japanese anime film called Lost In Starlight, which was incredibly bad. I gave it half a star, cuz I’m an old softy.
unlabelledView post →Happy Birthday to actor/filmmaker Clint Eastwood, born 95 years ago today on May 31, 1930, in San Francisco, CA! Favorite film: his second directorial effort, High Plains Drifter (1973), where he stars as "The Stranger," turning a strange California mining town named Lago into a blood red hellscape.
unlabelledView post →I only realized a few years ago that two of the movies my dad loved (*Goldfinger* and *High Plains Drifter*) comprised the (supposed) "hero" perpetrating actual rape on-screen and it being portrayed as a perfectly acceptable thing for a (supposed) "hero" to do. It's no wonder we are so fucked.
unlabelledView post →Hotter Than Hell Month continues with a trip into the old west town of Lago...or is it hell... for Clint Eastwood's sophomore directorial effort High Plains Drifter. So, is it a horror movie? And does it really touch on matters of faith? We conclude the answer to both is “yes!"
unlabelledView post →This reminds me of why I, though I think High Plains Drifter is a fantastic film, I don't bring it up and I don't try to defend it if someone else does.
unlabelledView post →In fact, the only time I can think of him having no name at all, in the film or script, was HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER, but there's a plot reason why that should be the case.

unlabelledView post →I’m watching, “High Plains Drifter (1973)”. Young Clint Eastwood was hot! He was actually my first movie crush in “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)”. I’ll never forget that duster he wore. Um, that rape scene at the start of Drifter? Wow. Never saw this movie before; it’s very dark!!! 😳

unlabelledView post →High Plains Drifter (rewatch): 10/10 It's funny how Clint Eastwood's second directed movie is one giant brutal, nihilistic deconstruction of the westerns he was known for. John Wayne was right when he said this movie killed the western. It killed the fantasy of what the wild west was
unlabelledView post →But even by today's standards HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER is a SHOCKINGLY gruesome film in both it's violence and it's exploration of human darkness and the capacity for normal people to be selfish and evil, and the ultimate cost of that.
unlabelledView post →...and he's made a lot of different kinds of films in his time, but his 70s films seem to be very concerned with being shocking and transgressive of good taste, which is something that would come back in GRAN TORINO.

unlabelledView post →Nope. But last night I was thinking about how taking night classes in Sound Design for Film and TV created a different kind of obsession: I was watching High Plains Drifter for the umpteenth time and feeling sorry for the Foley artist who had to shake spurs for an hour and a half.
unlabelledView post →Ok...HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER (1974) was a totally good movie, but it didn't really, like...put me in a great mood. ^___^;;; So now it's finally time to watch my VINEGAR SYNDROME CONGO (1995) blu-ray! I have not seen (or even THOUGHT of) this film in literally 30 years. : |
unlabelledView post →HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER is a very well made and interesting movie...as much as it's Eastwood drawing from his time with Sergio Leone making Spaghetti Westerns, it's also something of a Giallo horror movie...especially with what that ending implies. Pitiless and mean spirited, it's a hard watch.
unlabelledView post →HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER (1973) is the second film directed by Clint Eastwood (after PLAY MISTY FOR ME), and very much owes to the Sergio Leone Westerns he starred in. A very mean spirited and pitiless story story about a horrible man exacting revenge on a town full of absolutely WRETCHED people.
unlabelledView post →ya know, I grew up loving Clint Eastwood. Outlaw Josie Wales and High Plains Drifter were among my favorite westerns. Pale Rider too. Now, just thinking about watching a Clint movie makes me feel sad and kind of hopeless.
unlabelledView post →Tonight’s #WesternMovie is the classic 1973 High Plains Drifter starring #ClintEastwood. Set in the mid 1800s made-up town of “Lago” near Mono lake in desert California this movie is described as Intense. Gritty. Suspenseful. It is pure western-noir. m.imdb.com/title/tt0068...
unlabelledView post →Your secret is safe here on BlueSky. You’re right about it being a great cast. This movie reminds me of High Plains Drifter.
unlabelledView post →In the film “High Plains Drifter” the Clint Eastwood character visits the town of Lago. He eventually paints the town red and renames it Hell. If one were to add Mara to the town name and consider the significance of red, we wonder if the film was a prophesy of things to come?!?!
unlabelledView post →Definitely will check out High Plains Drifter and Magnificent Seven. Pale Rider and Unforgiven are already on the list along with Gran Torino. Also already watched The Outlaw Josey Wales, it was a really good movie.
