Kurt Russell. Snowy winter setting. A group of characters trapped in an isolated location. Paranoia. Russell speaking the line, "One of them fellas is not what he says he is."

THE HATEFUL EIGHT will reach theatres on December 25th. The version that has promise of featuring otherworldly monsters exists only in this video:
