Outlaws and Angels 2016

In the dusty town of Cuchillo, New Mexico, 1887, a group of five ruthless outlaws, led by Henry (character name), embark on a brazen heist at the local bank, culminating in a chaotic shoot-out with the townsfolk. In hot pursuit are a posse of bounty hunters, driven by Josiah’s unyielding determination to bring them to justice - and they’re mere hours behind.

As the outlaws’ numbers dwindle, now reduced to four after a fateful encounter, they come across an unsuspecting couple, Charlie’s aunt and uncle, who unwittingly provide them with much-needed sustenance. However, their innocence is short-lived as Henry and his cohorts brutally silence the pair, fearful that they might reveal their whereabouts in exchange for the substantial bounty of $8000 on their heads.

Meanwhile, Josiah and his posse stumble upon the gruesome scene of the slaughtered couple, where they encounter Charlie’s young granddaughter Lulu, who had been hiding in the underbrush. Her tearful testimony reveals that the outlaws are bound for White Sands, a treacherous terrain that will make tracking them exponentially more difficult.

As their ranks continue to shrink, one outlaw succumbs to exhaustion and is mercifully put out of his misery by his comrades. The trio then sets its sights on the Tildon farm, where Preacher George and Ada reside with their teenage daughters, Charlotte and Florence. Under the guise of hospitality, they intend to pillage the property at sundown.

As night falls, the outlaws storm into the farmhouse, their depraved intentions manifesting in a frenzy of whiskey-fueled revelry and base desires. Florence, barely 15 years old, catches Henry’s eye, but her innocence is brutally trampled by Charlie and Little Joe. The preacher, George, implores the men to spare his family, citing the town’s devastating loss to consumption, which has left the chapel on their property a solemn reminder of mortality.

Henry dispatches Little Joe to keep watch outside, tasking him with escorting Charlotte into the night. Henry himself becomes enamored with Florence, requesting a more “civilized” approach to their intimacy, only to be rebuffed when she attempts to initiate oral sex. His desire for propriety is short-circuited as he orders her to cease. Little Joe’s own advances are repelled by Charlotte, who finds his affections revolting.

As the night wears on, Charlie perpetuates a brutal assault on Ada, while George slumbers nearby, oblivious to the chaos unfolding beneath his very roof.

As Florence’s fascination with Henry deepens, she becomes determined to abandon her family and escape with him, despite their disapproval. In a dramatic confrontation, she brandishes a gun against George, but Henry intervenes, halting her violent intentions. In a shocking turn of events, Florence takes aim at Charlotte and pulls the trigger, ending her life.

Henry’s curiosity is piqued by Charlotte’s inability to conceive, and he confronts George about it. Initially, George attributes Charlotte’s barrenness to a fever, but Henry presses him for the truth. The truth is revealed when George confesses that he had an incestuous relationship with Charlotte at the tender age of 11, resulting in her botched abortion and subsequent infertility.

Henry orders Little Joe to commit a heinous act against George, instructing him to subject him to anal rape. However, Henry calls off the attack, claiming it was merely a scare tactic. Florence returns, armed with a shotgun, and brutally beats George to death, intending for him to suffer at her hands rather than succumb to a quick demise.

When asked about Charlotte’s murder, Florence reveals that she killed her because she enjoyed the twisted dynamics between George and Charlotte. Florence spares Ada, leaving behind a bag of gold coins, and the group departs. Meanwhile, Josiah arrives at the farm, only to find Ada sitting catatonically on the chapel stairs. He pilfers the coin bag but is met with swift retribution when Ada shoots him dead.

The group eventually reaches Mexico, where Florence exacts revenge by executing the three men - Charlie falls instantly, while Little Joe remains standing until Henry puts an end to his suffering. In a poignant moment, Florence apologizes to Henry, confessing that she truly wanted to escape with him but was drawn to the lucrative reward money instead. Henry’s resolve falters, and he takes his own life.

In a gruesome finale, Florence beheads the three men, packages their remains for the bounty, and returns to her former life. Back at the farm, Ada awaits Florence, ready to reciprocate the violence she has endured, and the cycle of brutality is complete.
