YMMV / The Missing (2003)

• Complete Monster: The evil Native American "witch" Pesh-Chidin, aka El Brujo ("The Sorcerer"), is a sadistic murderer who leads a group of killers through the territories where he ritualistically murders those he encounters and kidnaps attractive young ladies to sell into sex slavery in Mexico. Chidin has the women mistreated, his only concern being he fears seven is an "unlucky number, " making him opt to capture an eighth girl before they go to Mexico when one dies. When he learns a girl has killed herself thanks to the aid of Lily, Chidin restrains himself from beating her only because he won't gain money for a swollen face, but forces sand into her mouth while snarling "this is what the rest of your life will taste like." Chidin murders a photographer via a powder that makes him bleed out through his ears, eyes, nose and mouth, slaughters his Mexican partners when they anger him and finally simply attempts to murder the heroes. A vicious, brutal monster feared even by other Native tribes, Chidin is a loathed figure to all who know him.
• Retroactive Recognition: Elisabeth Moss as the abducted mother.
• Nightmare Fuel:
  • When Maggie stumbles upon the violently murdered corpses of her lover and ranch hand out in the woods by her house. Worse when her little girl was hiding and heard them being killed when it happened too.
  "He screamed so long I wanted him to stop... and then he did."
  • Chidin is a walking bundle of Nightmare Fuel, a big menacing guy perpetually scowling and quick to brutally hurt or murder anyone for any reason be it with his fists or black magic. The only reason he doesn't horribly punish Lily for trying to escape is because she reminds him she won't sell well with a bloody face.
