I think I would've enjoyed this more if the dialogue and characters were more interesting. The only character the filmmakers seemed to put any thought into was Crispin Glover's, who always plays a good "creepy guy" role and here is no exception. But, in the end, it's just a boring, well-shot period drama.

i got a whole ten minutes into the movie before saying out loud to an empty room "so when do they eat each other?", after all that's pretty much the only thing anybody watching this will think of after turning it on. it still had a pretty decent 1800's vibe to it and i thoroughly dig glover.

An interesting movie with an excellent and very believable performance by Crispin Glover. The constant snow scenery makes things a bit "blurry", but a very interesting true story.

Potentially interesting, but marred by historical inaccuracy, hammy acting, and slow pace. The desaturated look adds a chill to the scenery but hinders the audience's connection with the characters.
