With 2015 coming to a close, there are only a handful of films left that we expect will make a huge impression. One of them is Quentin Tarantino's latest and eighth effort, aptly titled The Hateful Eight. The film, which will be released in limited theaters on Christmas Day, has a new TV spot featuring a scandalous group of characters played by Kurt Russell, Bruce Dern, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Tarantino regular Samuel L. Jackson.

The Hateful Eight has a pretty rough history, with Tarantino canning the project back in 2013 when the script leaked. But after a successful staged reading of it, he ultimately decided to make the film. The Hateful Eight takes place in post-Civil War Wyoming, where Russell appears as John "The Hangman" Ruth, a man escorting Leigh's wacky and murderous Daisy Domergue to Red Rock, where she must pay for her crimes. On the way they encounter a series of expectedly strange figures, including a former Union solider turned bounty hunter (played by Jackson) and a Confederate soldier (Dern). 

The brief spot hints at the Clue-like structure of the film, and Jackson's character reveals his suspicions of everyone, claiming that someone among the group is working alongside Domergue.
