UPDATE: Movie lovers have just 39 days left to stream The Hateful Eight, Quentin Tarantino’s acclaimed Western murder-mystery, before it departs from Netflix on January 21, 2024. This critically polarizing film, released on December 25, 2015, is a must-watch for fans eager to experience Tarantino’s unique storytelling before it disappears from the platform.
Set in the harsh, post-Civil War landscape of Wyoming, The Hateful Eight brings together eight strangers trapped in a remote cabin amid a blizzard. As tensions rise, hidden identities and brutal truths lead to explosive confrontations that grip viewers from start to finish. The film has generated significant buzz, grossing an impressive $161.2 million against a $62 million budget.
Despite its box-office success, the movie has faced scrutiny over its portrayal of race relations and the treatment of its female lead, played by Jennifer Jason Leigh. Critics have debated the film’s depiction of violence and gender dynamics, with Leigh defending her character as a “tough survivor.” In her own words, “I didn’t think it was misogynistic for a second.”
The cast showcases Tarantino’s frequent collaborators, including Samuel L. Jackson and Kurt Russell, contributing to the film’s gripping narrative and powerful performances. With a 74% Rotten Tomatoes score and 77% audience rating, The Hateful Eight remains one of Tarantino’s more controversial works, yet it still earned three Oscar nominations.
With its departure from Netflix imminent, fans are urged to watch this intense film while they still can. The emotional stakes, dramatic storytelling, and Tarantino’s signature style make it a compelling experience that should not be missed.
Streaming ends in less than six weeks—don’t wait! Check out the trailer now and prepare for a cinematic journey filled with tension, betrayal, and unexpected twists. Stay tuned to Collider for further updates on this film and others leaving Netflix soon.
