After a family is murdered near a remote western town, a US Federal Marshall is sent to investigate.

innocuous This film is t'urble. The story is minimal, the acting is decent for a high school drama club, and the cinematography is all over the place. What's worst, though, is the sound. Every actor mumbles his/her lines and the whole thing sounds like it was recorded with a single cheap microphone placed on the floor. The mechanical noise and rumble are so bad that I had to turn off my subwoofer while I was watching it. It obviously couldn't be redubbed due to budget constraints, so it remains almost incomprehensible in some parts. The blood is second-rate and the boobs are minimal (contrary to some other comments), being either viewed through lace curtains or belonging to the recently deceased. The director tries to be artsy in some of the establishing shots, but just comes across as annoying. The whole project is third-rate.
m king Pretty good for a Indy film, I think Sean Knight should have been given a bigger role since he was clearly the better choice for the Marshall... The role of the bartender was played pretty good also, overall its a must see for any Indy movie fan or buff. Great Western horror and should have a sequel as it left a lot of questions unanswered...rent it or buy it, its good. The color could have been better, but like i said its a Indy film and it is worth watching just for Sean Knights acting and skills alone. But what gets me is the Piture that is Sean Knight, is not the real Sean Knight that Plays in the Movie. I Give it a thumbs half up for sure.
dedmeat333 Christopher M. Downs' first film is an epic tale with plot twists aplenty.all the while the viewer will be thinking...."WHY"?this film will sell you the whole seat,but you'll only need the edge!fast as a pit viper,all hell breaks loose when the sleepy calm of a small western town is shattered by mysterious murders and poor horseback riding.I feel that for a first time film maker this is a wonderful piece of B-movie history.it's funny as hell and has quarts of gore.the film also shows that first time director Christopher M.Downs has the "finnish at all costs even if people will say it's junk" attitude(hey,first film,little $$...what have you done?)and I hope his career as a filmmaker lasts,who knows what he could do with a couple million to play with?.
foulpole2 If you love really bad, and I do mean really bad horror films this is just the movie for you. The acting is campy, the camera work is elementary at best. But I Couldn't help enjoying it, I tried to hate it, I really did and it shouldn't have been a difficult task but I just couldn't do it. The Film has a very Scooby Doo plot, horrible special effects, terrible acting, all though Hanover and Berger do a fairly decent job. The opening sequence sets the tone for the entire film....BOOBS AND BLOOD!!! and it's all down hill from there. All that being said I still think that any B movie horror buff can find a reason not to hate this movie. Although Ebert and Roeper probably couldn't make it through the first 10 min. I feel it is worth a peek.
