 Clint Eastwood seems to have a sort-of-maybe supernatural thing going with
 a number of his later movies.  To see what presumably inspired the Harrowed,
 watch Hang 'Em High, Pale Rider and High Plains Drifter.

 The Quick & the Dead is one of my favourite movies of all time - it's about
 as close in style to Deadlands as any movie could really be expected to get
 without adding in supernatural elements.  It's cheesy and over-the-top and
 supremely stylish and directed by Sam Raimi and contains Gene Hackman and is
 utterly utterly brilliant from beginning to end.

 Oh yeah, and Once Upon a Time in the West is about the best western ever
 made (insert lengthly debate here), also by Sergio Leone, and tells the
 tale behind the origins of a railroad town.  It's fantastic, I can't even
 begin to describe it.

 Right, that's enough to be getting along with, I think.  :>)
