Oh, dear God. I cannot come up with the words to describe how terrible this movie is, nor can I come up with strong enough words to encourage you to stay away from it. Acting-bad. Dialogue-bad. Effects-Really, really bad. I mean really bad. Story idea-perhaps the only saving grace of this crap-fest. I had this on in the background and am so thankful I was doing work or my eyes and ears might have bled. And it was on Fear Net. For those of you unfamiliar, Fear Net has a brief advertisement 30 minutes into each flick. And when I heard the familiar Fear Net commercial, I thought "That was the longest half hour of cinema history." Seriously, save yourself. I'm sure that I have seen some worse movies--and I am a fan of movies, even bad ones--but right now, I cannot think of any film worse than this. But I try to avoid spoilers (although I always click the button just in case)--don't wait for the 15 minutes of ending credits for the final five second useless freaking scene.

I've never seen a movie this bad before. I rented this hoping to see a decent B horror movie. What I got was not a horror movie, nor a B movie. This movie isn't even a C or a D movie. I've seen better movies made by juniors at Senior High.Let's start out with the script. The foundation of any movie. It was bad. Really bad. The first 45 minutes of the movie is as follows: Introduce a character, kill that same character, introduce a character, kill that same character, repeat. If that's not bad enough, the deaths aren't even original. It's just the antagonists shooting people. It's mind numbingly boring. The end was also a sad excuse at making a twist.Let's move on to the acting. The acting is bad throughout. It is quite obvious that no actor in this movie has had no prior acting experience. If you took a group of mentally handicapped children, you would have gotten better acting.Special effects. Were they not aloud to actually use fire? Did they need to do that in post? Worst special effects ever. They even accidentally green screened things out that were supposed to be in the shot.Even if this movie is free for you to watch, don't. Don't waste your time. Even if your best friend is on the production team, don't watch it. As a matter of fact, slap him/her right in the mouth.

I put this on expecting to turn it off after ten or twenty minutes but was engaged enough to watch it to the end.It's not brilliant but it is fun, some of the other criticisms are unfair but some accurate, the director has been far too ambitious as evidenced by too many cheap looking FX shots (that said some are pretty good) and action sequences.Given the obvious source material of High Noon I think sticking closer to that story line and racking up the tension with less reliance on dynamic scenes would have been better. This of course would have required half decent acting which for the most part was pretty ropey, but the three leads are competent particularly Elizabeth Mouton.Criticisms aside this film is better than many films a hundred or even a thousand times the budget and wouldn't look out of place on late night TV.All in all a good effort.

This is movie is a blast! It's "High Noon" done as a horror western. Some bandits return to take vengeance on a sheriff, who recently married and stays to protect the town rather than run away with his wife. The difference is, these bandits were killed by the sheriff's ancestor over a hundred years ago. And they've been released not from prison, but from hell and begin destroying the town.I saw this film at the "Tabloid Witch Awards Film Festival" last year. It was there I learned they made this film for $4,000.00. Which still amazes me. This does not look or feel like a four thousand dollar film at all. It's full of action and gun fighting. And some wicked special effects considering the budget. I recently saw the version which LionsGate bought and is releasing. I must say, I liked the original better. The music was much more dirty and gritty. And the story flowed a little better. The cute blonde (Lillith Fields of Urban Legends: Bloody Mary) was in it much more (including a shower scene). There was also a lot more comedic moments. I guess a studio's gotta do, what a studio's gotta do. BUT, the LionsGate/Barnholtz version still has a hell of a bite and they added one great element to it. KANE HODDER (Jason Voorhees of Friday the 13th)! It was so nice to see Kane rocking some dialogue and looking like his extremely intimidating self. I'm very happy to see this film got picked up and distributed. It'd be great to see more indies out there to freshen' up the film world. Once again gotta say, for a $4,000.00 dollar film, this one knocked my socks off!
