A well written and superbly crafted horror story
The Only Good Indians is a well written and superbly crafted horror story which takes place in the northwestern US and has characters from the Blackfeet and Crow tribes. Four young Blackfeet men embark on a badly planned and illegal elk hunt which results in a violation of tribal values and the desecration of nature. Ten years later, an entity exacts her revenge in a chilling, suspenseful and brutal fashion. The characters are incredibly well developed given the length of the novel, and the reader develops sympathy for them. The reader also empathizes with the perspective of the entity who pursues the four men. This story has great depth in its exploration of themes of cultural identity, tradition, social justice, revenge and respect for the natural world. Horror readers will love this, but I would also recommend this book for readers of fiction in general. I can see why this The Only Good Indians is receiving so much critical acclaim.

Offensive and unnecessarily gruesome
As much as I love Indiana Jones, this film was very offensive. Not only did it portray Indians as savages eating monkey brains (although most of India is vegan or vegetarian), it also showed devotees of Kali, the goddess of war, as some kind of death cult - though she killed people like cultists. I really hated this film mostly because it was unnecessarily gory as well. Not a happy bunny.
