Indian Revenge

I've known about this movie for a long time Problem was I didn't know the name of it I was beginning to think I had imagined this movie for awhile A lawyer trying to unsuccessfully save some Indians land from a logging mill company Anyway the lawyer in frustration mentions to one of the Indians that they have to make them pay and says something to the effect that they ought to skin him alive One of the Indians takes him seriously and kidnaps one of the people in charge of the logging company Listen I'm sure there's probably much more gruesome torture movies out there I'm not really comfortable with a lot of torture stuff (So I don't dabble much into torture type movies) But this has one of the nastiest torture scenes I've personally seen Caution if you can't handle nasty violence You might want to avoid this movie.

Clearcut is a unique addition to the horror genre, well-written, and expertly put together

I recently watched Clearcut (1991) on Shudder. The storyline centers around an activist lawyer who is passionate about protecting Native American lands and forests from logging companies. After losing a case, his Native American client takes matters into his own hands, involving the lawyer in actions that push ethical boundaries, including torture. The lawyer must grapple with the question of how far is too far.This movie is directed by Ryszard Bugajski (Interrogation) and stars Graham Greene (The Green Mile), Ron Lea (Punisher: War Zone), Michael J. Reynolds (The Descent Part 2) and Michael Hogan (Red Riding Hood).This film is highly engaging and Graham Greene delivers a tremendous performance. His dialogue, mannerisms, actions, and reactions are remarkable. The overall acting is solid, and while the horror elements are more focused on the circumstances and threats, there is a torture scene that's a standout moment. The storyline and premise are excellent, and the ending is brilliant, providing a perfect conclusion.In summary, Clearcut is a unique addition to the horror genre, well-written, and expertly put together. I would rate this a 7.5/10 and strongly recommend it.
