RoboRabbit89 I'll get right to it, this film was really not that bad. I mean it was bad, but I think it's one of those it's so bad it's good type of films. I first heard of this film back in 2009 and I waited for years and still nothing, then in 2013 it finally released to DVD. I found it so-so at best but I still liked it. I was at least glad the damn movie finally was released.I'm aware that this film went through some problems in production, I know there was re-shoots and re-writes to this, but I think for a first time director (at least I think he is) did a decent job. I could at least somewhat tell some bits were re-shot, but still done very well. I honestly kinda enjoyed this film, I mean it's bad but I liked it. I consider this a guilty pleasure, I also know that Wesley Snipes went through tax evasion troubles during the production of this, and I think that's why there were re-shoots and re-writes probably to use Wesley as much as possible before his jail time. And you can tell because the movie is narrated by his character but you can easily tell he's voiced by a sound-alike actor, still done pretty good though.Overall a decent high concept and original story. It's an enjoyably bad film and I really liked it. I give it a 3/10. A guilty pleasure by any standard, it's fun in a it's so bad it's good kind of way, complete with over the top violence, wooden acting and an inconsistent story arc, and I think that's the point. At least I'm glad this was finally released. I recommend to give it a look. it's fun.

lemon_magic Just to clear an obvious misunderstanding: The movie is not about "zombies", it's about what could be thought of as "Revenants" or "Wraiths". OK? Fine, let's proceed.I think I rated "Gallowwalkers" somewhat higher than most of the commentators here, because it caught me in the right mood. I was home sick with a cold, and needed something pretty and striking to look at to pass the time.The sets, the costumes, the makeup, the photography, the music...all extremely well done and evocative. And the actors do their damndest with their thankless, cardboard parts.(Casting was excellent, too - everyone here is photogenic and charismatic as can be). So what's wrong with "Gallowwalkers"? Oh, well...it's pretty, but essentially empty. Key scenes make no sense, characters pop up out of nowhere (like "Skullbucket") are immediately disposed of again. And it drags just a little too much, here and there. I am sure the filmmakers were so in love with the visuals and the snappy, epigrammatic dialog that they didn't see the problem with all those lingering shots of bodies and sand and gore and figures on horses posed on top of dunes.It's all too much of a muchness. And in spite of the fact that it's an interesting germ of a story idea, the setting and the situation (sort of supernatural Spaghetti Western) still feels derivative and done to death. (See what I did there?) So: great movie to give 2/3rd of your attention to, or just something cool to look at when that's all you need. Or if you're willing to watch anything that reminds you of Sergio Leone.

Spikeopath Tis one of the toughest things in film making to tackle, that of the western/horror hybrid. Here things are further complicated by some sort of attempt to add Gothic leanings and fantastical surrealism. Sadly nothing in the whole film works, it's a collage of botched ideas performed poorly by cast and technical crew alike.Plot, the attempt at one as such, pitches Wesley Snipes' dreadlocks spirit walker type on a revenge mission to eradicate the undead - who once as humans raped his loved one. Lots of strands are dangled within, flashbacks upon flashbacks, time shifts and characterisation distortions, all set to a parched wild west backdrop. There's plenty of blood dripped onto the corn but the corn is still corny, while the whole thing is a misogynists wet dream. Production design is decent, with the slaughterhouse sequences - and the costume design - better than average, and Snipes remains cool even if he surely knows he's in a very poor movie.But ultimately this is very much one to avoid. 2/10

Nigel P Well, this is a load of impressive looking nonsense. Style over substance just about covers it. In this Western horror effort, Wesley Snipes plays Aman who leaves the girl he loves alone one day whilst selling animal skins. During that time, she is gang-raped by a motley crew who leave her with-child. When he discovers this, he is heart-broken about what happened during his absence. To make himself feel better, he leaves her again, this time for five years, only to return to find she died giving birth. This improbable story is told entirely in flashback by Aman and is incredible in its illogical and inept oddness. The reason such a revelation is condensed in such a fashion seems to be that the rest of the running time can then be left to consist of non-eventful scenes that are massively over-choreographed, and while they are visually impressive, there is no naturalness to them whatsoever. Neither to the cast of alleged characters, who aren't introduced, aren't explained, but to make them 'interesting', speak in gruff-voiced cliché throughout.The idea of Snipes playing a loner out for revenge against a horde of zombies in the unforgiving heat of the desert is a very appealing one. The trailer, whilst very stylised, seemed to promise much. And yet 'Gallowwalkers' flounders, and what story there is is laborious and crippled by constant flashbacks, bad wigs, posturing and overtly dramatic line delivery. It's a curiously lifeless exercise – there's a handsome budget on display and some stunning cinematography, but there are no characters to relate to, no emotion and no trace of tension or scares or … anything, really. In fact, if you've seen the trailer, you've seen the best of the film. My one personal highlight was noticing, quite unexpectedly, 70's children's television entertainer Derek Griffiths briefly as a heavily made-up peripheral character Mosca.Snipes had several problems throughout, due to tax problems and subsequent arrest. Perhaps the delays this caused threw the production schedule into disarray and accounts for the choppy tone of events (and for the many close-ups of Mr Snipes – many long-shots seem to feature a body double). But as to the po-faced dullness, the lack of anything for the audience to invest in, the non-existent story, incompetent lip-syncing, the absence of thrills … who can possibly say? Perhaps the fact that the film was released (straight to DVD) eight years after production commenced tells its own story, which is more than 'Gallowwalkers' does. A gruelling experience.
