Hoping to find his loved ones, a man joins a group of settlers in the Wild West to look for them and stumble upon their abduction at the hands of a vicious race of creatures and must get away before they suffer the same fate.This turned out to be quite enjoyable and entertaining for what it was, a simple creature feature. By being set in the Old-West, it takes the suspense to a rather interesting scenario by utilizing the time-frame constraints in terms of weaponry and knowledge about the titular creatures and really making it about the journey of discovery going on about the creatures and what's going on, which is a lot of fun. The setting is used to fine effect with the time-line war with the Indians that was going on at the time and manages to get a lot of mileage out of that storyline with several big action scenes against the tribes in the area making for a rather cohesive feel about the time and place here being somewhat underused in the genre. This gives it a refreshing taste of originality that comes rather nicely with the impressively utilized creatures, simply by being an original creature in terms of behavior, appearance and general feel in the first place but also settling in with the time-frame issues already mentioned to generate an incredibly chilling and suspense air about it, for the gradual dawning on the men that rogue Indians aren't to blame for the disappearances but rather these strange, fearsome creatures makes this quite suspenseful as all that becomes known about them comes from the interactions between the victims and the survivors and it all feels really fresh and unique. The finale itself is a lot of fun and certainly gets a lot to like about it as well with lots of action and plenty of gore wrapped up in the general dispatching of the creatures, resulting in a fine finish to this. There's some problems, though, as the film is just not all that fun in terms of pace, as this tends to wander around for so much time dealing with the Indian side-plot that it really only leaves the creatures to be present for two or three scenes altogether, really making it tough to get into this as the pace is just so sluggish and weak that there's not a lot of time to dwell on the action to keep things exciting. With the lack of engaging subplots to hang off of, since those as well are sidetracked by the war against the tribe and the inherent stupidity of the cavalry to deal with the issue, this is quite a difficult film to get into and really takes a while to get going. For a final disappointment, the fact that the creatures are difficult, blurry blobs of CGI mess during their scenes really takes the sting out of them a little when it's hard to make out what they are exactly, but all told this is still a fairly fun effort.Rated R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.

This not your typical western movie even with the science fiction over tones. There are the burrowers, a creature I guess, they live underground ground, use the animal or human corpses for procreation. They used to prey on the buffalo but the whites slaughtered them. Gee I guess killing all those buffalo was not such a good idea at least for this movie. The good guys are played by actors that are not your typical hunks. They are kind of ugly but try and drive to the goal. The Ute's know how to kill the burrowers and take one of the hunters who has been bitten to use as bait. The Utes poison the victim and the burrowers die. Once bitten you are dead. There is some very not so subtle racism in this movie. Irish and blacks are relegated to subhuman status. This actually is true as there were ads in New York papers saying that Nig**** and Irish need not apply for jobs. Anyway like I said this is definitely not the usual movie plot. I did find the scene at the end where the creatures got pinned down by spears yet did not die until the sun came up to be a reach.

Here is a cliff notes version of my review....At first I was leery about a Horror movie based in the 'old west', but as I read some of the reviews, I decided to give it a chance. After the opening scene (which had me pondering with what had just attacked them), it dragged for a bit (for me anyways) and I was wondering when it would pick back up again. Had some so-so gun fights, some nice, bloody scenes. But then we finally got to see the 'burrowers' and I was REALLY disappointed. Had they not looked like overgrown, mutated grasshoppers, then I might have liked the concept of an underground, burrowing creature. The story behind the burrowers was just okay at best, with how they feed. Cut them, 'puke' in the wound to paralyze them, then bury them (alive) until they start to rot before eating them, lovely.As my summary states "In a Nutshell".... I gave this movie a 6 based solely on the acting and what blood there was that we got to see, very little. I can't say that I will be adding this to my DVDs anytime.... period. It was okay one time around, but that's about it for me.

I actually wanted to rate it a 6 (out of 10), but I liked the ending so much I had to give the movie an extra point. Plus it does dare to be different. And I think it does succeed most of the times, with combining known ingredients and mixing them up. Of course this is a western, but there is more to it than "cowboys and Indians" (much more and no pun intended).Most of the time we do know more than the main actors. And while we do know, it might feel a bit too slow moving for a few people. Of course I haven't watched the short (look in the movie connections on IMDb) or the web series, that are connected with this. It's a great nice idea though, that has some nice acting and a decent enough plot to follow.
