The Road was mainstream, just unpalatable to most people. Everything McCarthy writes is pretty bleak, but he’s probably the greatest living fiction writer on earth. I liked Apocalypto pretty well. My “off color” recommendation is Bone Tomahawk- Kurt Russel’s in it...along with troglodytes
Bone Tomahawk is one of the better westerns I have seen recently. We came upon that one surfing Amazon Prime and Mrs. Irish guy and I watched it. Great movie.
