A thoroughly bland and conventional entry in the "Billy the Kid" series., 18 June 2001
Author: rastar-1 (George Aachen <rastar@tpg.com.au>) from Sydney, Australia

Not a female in sight, so I guess it's a good guess that this entry was wholly intended for the kids. That's a pity, because the basic premise of the story holds a bit more promise than the average "B" oater. Other directors would have grasped the opportunities for some atmospheric effects in the horror vein. But here, most of the potential thrills are played for laughs.

Newfield's direction is otherwise competent enough, and it's always nice to see heavies like Charles King and Karl Hackett run their familiar skullduggery routines. And for once, comedian At St John gets a chance to shine, in a dual role yet!
