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

Kurt Russell plays the lead role in both movies. In Carpenter's horror flick, he stars as R.J. MacReady, one of the scientists trapped in the Antarctic along with a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of the people it kills. In The Hateful Eight, he plays bounty hunter John "The Hangman" Ruth, trapped in a Wyoming cabin with a bunch of potentially murderous psychos while a snow storm rages on outside. Whether you're a fan of Russell's or not, there's no denying he brings his A-game in Tarantino's latest.
