shawnblackman Late 80's western horror which has a police officer following up a missing person on a desert highway ending up way off the beaten path. While walking a corpse of a sheriff pops out of the ground telling him that he is their only hope before crumbling into dust. This sets things in motion as he figures out he's not in Kansas anymore. A time warp takes place as he is suddenly doing battle with a demon cowboy at a small town in the late 1800's.The special effects in this one were pretty good. The demon bad guys rotting flesh was decent. At times this was boring but would compensate with some action. Nothing too heavy in this one.

cllangkjaer Ghost Town is a great movie that I fell fortune to have seen, because as I've heard, it was very close not to see the light of day. Ghost Town was made close to the collapse of Empire Pictures in 1988/89. At this time, Empire "an Italian/American based company" was in production with "Robot Jox" there must ambitious production jet. During the late 1980's, a sudden drop in economy forced the company into bankruptcy, leaving productions like Ghost town, Robot Jox, Catacombs and the infamous Puls Pounders stranded. The project must have been blessed with good fortune, because Ghost Town finished post-production, though no original movie score was made. Instead music from other Empire movies like, Crawlspace, Ghoulies II and From Beyond was used and the finished film was picked up by New World Pictures and released on VHS and Laserdisc. Rumour also has it, that Richard Governor walked of the set in anger toward the end of the shoot, due to difference of opinion, leaving DP Mac Ahlberg and the assistant director to finish the picture. I assume it must have been a terrible experience for him, because as far as I know, Mr. Governor never worked in the movie business again. I would like to point out, that I think he did good job and in my opinion there is no other movie quit like it.

rpmp i knew this movie was coming out before most . my cousin franc is the sheriff. i have heard some of the details of the making of this flick and it was interesting to say the least. i found it very entertaining and was hoping that a sequel would be made. but, alas, no one was more than just mildly interested. that's a shame. the real gripe though is that i have not seen this movie anywhere since and have been told there are no plans to reissue it on DVD. i think that with a bit more exposure it would take off. i do know that cinemax ran it for a while in 1989 in think. i have discussed this with my cousin and he is disappointed about no new release efforts as he does not even have a copy for himself. Bruce glover was a wonderful addition to the cast and jimmy skaggs was terrific.

stevewri Maybe it's just the sort of popcorn munchin late night flick I like but I enjoyed this movie...I liked this movie from start to finish...It had a great story line, the acting was pretty good, the charactors original, and over all a great attempt at a western ghost story...Action, horror, but not too gory...If you like the "ghost" genre then you'll wanna try this one...The "old" things to kill the ghosts was a nice plot...
