Native American horror movies.


I've come up with a list of Native American-themed horror movies. Most seem to be late 70s - early 80s. Can you think of more?

Shadow of the Hawk (1976)
The Manitou (1978)
Nightwing (1979)
The Prophecy (1979)
Wolfen (1981)
Scalps (1983)
One episode of Creepshow 2 (1987) was about a cigar-store Indian who comes to life.

Excellent! Thanks, Kowalski!

Also thought of

The Shadow of Chikara (1978)
The Burrowers (2008)
Bone Tomahawk (2015)

Poltergeist. In that the horrors happening in the movie was caused by the house beeing buildt on a native burying ground.

Might be a stretch, but always happy to plug:

Ravenous (1999) dips in to some Ojibwa mythology

Adding a few not without redeeming qualities, but below my usual recommendation threshold, but let's face it, this subgenre has a pretty high chaff/wheat ratio:

Monsterwolf (2010)
The Dark Power (1985)
Man-Thing (2005)
Werewolf (1995) - the MST3K version is top-notch and a great first taste if not familiar

Natas: The Reflection (1983, though usually credited as a 1986 production)

Thought I'd mention a few movies I don't see mentioned here, in case you were still curious.

Demon Warrior (1988)
Unearthed (2007) has a couple elements
