A hunter returns home to North Carolina with a mysterious green case. Following the death of his mother, he moves back into the family home where his mind begins to disintegrate. Stalked by divine voices and unholy visions, guided by disquiet, his mother's hand written riddles and strange visitors further complicate an already splintering mind. A cable man, a mummified cat, zealous neighbors, and a killer swirl through this darkly comic southern gumbo.

Pulling from Paul Schrader's characters in "Taxi Driver" and "First Reformed", "Gunfighter Paradise" allows itself in its best moments to include some dark comedy to its exploration of solitude. [Full review in Spanish]

Filmmaker Jethro Waters nearly does it all in Gunfighter Paradise, an equally beautiful and disturbing portrait of spiritual insanity.

3.5/4.0

If Beasts of the Southern Wild had a cinematic child with Alex Garland's Civil War, I'd like to think that child would look something like the unique and extraordinary Gunfighter Paradise.

I’m not here to trash any artist who has enough of a vision to get a film made. I just can’t praise a film that I don’t understand.

A difficult but interesting film that will awake your senses and drive you to think beyond its surface of satire.

Thanks to the highly original but off-kilter narrative, audiences will remain engaged. The picture looks excellent, and the cast is killer.
