Another Double Stinker for a Sunday evening

Another Double Stinker for a Sunday evening First: Bandit Queen (1950) https://youtu.be/xAmhaehaP0I?si=f6g9ghoQ8sizwdS7 A young woman comes home in time to witness her parents get murdered by a sheriff in cahoots with a local land grabber.... She takes the whip used to murder her father & learns to use it while living at the local Spanish Mission.... She later rallies some locals to help her steal back stolen gold, & extract vengeance on the men who killed her parents.... A wee bit more preachy than The Master Gunfighter(1975), but much more enjoyable.... Second: BLACK MOUNTAIN (2025) https://youtu.be/26rVcPJ71NE?si=FljhxGAkpExmEpEA So, a couple of researchers get turned down for some grant, which somehow has to to with something in a rural town that turns the locals into paranoid cannibals, while giving outsiders appendicitis..... The audio is abysmal, which only serves to exacerbate the extremely regional dialect & weakly delivered lines... Key scenes have been cut out for no reason, and I was enticed to watch by a grossly inaccurate summary in the description bar.... Ultimately, I had no idea what this movie was about!!!
