The Uncanny Connections Between The Hateful Eight and This Classic Horror Movie

The basic tenets of both storylines are nearly identical: a blizzard keeps a group of people from being able to leave an enclosed space, as the group gets picked off one by one. Tarantino openly admitted the similarities, noting, "This movie is very influenced by Reservoir Dogs, and that was influenced by The Thing. There’s a lot of characters trapped in one room. There’s a lot of paranoia going on, nobody can trust anybody [and] there’s a horrible blizzard going on outside."
