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

I truly don't understand why this movie is so badly rated. Thus was like a graphic novel come to life, with great 1970's kung-fu style cinematography (not fights, just camera work),a great, appropriate score, action, monsters, revolvers, and great acting.Sure, the plot could have benefited from a bit of revision and tightening, but it's not difficult to follow. If taken like a graphic novel, it fits right in. Pick up some Image graphic novels and you'll understand that the way the plot is presented is very much aligned with that style of storytelling.This gets a solid 8 because this is the type of movie you pat $13.50 at a theater for.

first off this is a straight to DVD movie. so if you are wanting a Oscar caliber movie then this is not for you. i gave it a 7 for a straight to DVD movie. this is much better then most. and way better then any SYFY channel movie. any one that says this is the worst movie ever must have never seen sharknado. i have Chiller channel and this movie came on. never heard about it. but was able to sit through the whole film, which is not common with Chiller and SYFY films. the budget seemed high for a movie like this. not just some bad actors in front of a green screen. good kill scenes. if you go in to this film knowing it went straight to DVD and won no awards then you won't be let down.

I wanted to check this movie out because I thought the trailer looked cool, a unique storyline, maybe a little cheesy but still interesting. With a big name like Wesley Snipes, I thought it had a chance even with the low ratings. Boy was I wrong! The mostly nonsensical storyline was not well put together. It had many unexplainable plot holes like the undead coming back to life for an unknown reason killing to take peoples skins.The acting was simply horrid. The dialogue was unintelligent and with the terrible accents and out of sync speech, it made even the good lines stupid.All the effects were poorly done from fake looking graphics to corny makeup and lousy costuming. (Some good examples being the reptilian lizard skin man, or the dark skinned kid with white dreads) The action was just as bad as the rest of it with substandard fight scenes. The standoffs which are usually a highlight in westerns had little to no intensity whatsoever, which ruins the whole point and atmospheric mood.It quickly caused me to lose all interest, and the ending was extremely un-climactic.One plus was that they had some excellent desert scenery and backgrounds. If only something good could be said about the rest of this lame flick.
