Michael Ledo The movie opens with a silly close range blood squirting shoot out. Mortimer (David A. Lockhart) is a bounty hunter. After collecting his bounty he opts to go after an Indian (Rick Mora) wanted for raping a "white virgin." (I don't write this stuff.) Others have tried and died. He lives in the woods. Mortimer buys Rhiannon (Camille Montgomery) a reluctant woman to come with him to use as bait.Meanwhile there is a subplot of a meteor being found in a farmer's field with fluorescent green stuff and no Steven King. The farmer has a daughter (Heather Montanez) who does take a bath...and like any good circus, the big top is worth the price of admission. The meteor turns the town's folk into the fast moving zombies as opposed to the raise from the dead variety.I liked the metal soundtrack. We've seen worse acting. Many are first time actors. The special effects or make-up was very stiff. The dialogue wasn't great. The buttons on the women's blouses never seemed to work either.No f-bombs, no sex, nudity (Camille Montgomery, Mandy Pauline, Heather Montanez)
Deliberate_Stranger I had no real expectations about this movie. The title 'Cowboys and Zombies' says it all. I was pretty sure It's some kind of Asylum project but it turned out to be completely independent feature made for extremely little money(IMDb says 30k). Having no expectations I was pleasantly surprised. Sure It's not really a good movie but at least It's watchable. The only thing which makes it hard to watch is acting. Being a low budget movies fanatic I'm used to shitty acting but what we have here is beyond amateurish. Leading guy(can't say actor) is a joke, he's playing tough as nails bounty hunter but his voice sounds like 5 years old kid and he's laughable through whole movie. Nothing good can be said about the others(Indian, girl and German) but at least their voices aren't funny. So the acting sucks BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG time but when it comes to the other aspects It's way better. Special makeup/effects are very well done for a no budget movie. There is quite a lot of graphic gore which looks nasty, zombie make-up is quite good. Editing and cinematography is quite OK for a budget, there are some boobs as well. The other thing that looked amateurish were shootouts. They rather reminded western shows from theme parks than real movie shootouts. All in all, I had a decent time watching this even with an amateur actors ruining the show. OK to watch once for gory stuff and decent looking zombies.
goenrique Riding the wave of the movie cowboys vs zombies. Lead actor sounds like a girl. Acting was terrible and badly directed with weird Montagues. Director need to do his research on the old west. Wanted poster is print out in the old west? I went to sleep about 10 min in. I tried to watch it again but the music was horrible. Songs were PItchy and badly written. The guy singing the songs reminded me of reject from American idol, one those guys who thinks he can sing but sounds like dying bird. If someone really cares about this guy they would tell him the truth. To bad this was directed so poorly, could been a good movie,zombie vs cowboys is a good idea.
Jason VanMason Title was changed to cash in on the popular Cowboys and Aliens. Maybe the screenplay as well because the film starts out as a standard bounty hunter tale. The hero has an odd high-pitched voice totally incompatible with his character. Then we throw in a bimbo he "buys" from a wild west pimp, a bit of gratuitous partial nudity which is okay I guess but slows down the action. Its kinda tedious and slow for an action/horror movie. Lame, unconvincing dialog further hampers the entertainment value. Oddly, the costumes, props and set are pretty good. Maybe the extras were real reinactors at some restored historic park. Unless you just love anything about zombies, you might do well to look elsewhere for tonight's entertainment.
