A different twist on westerns, 30 July 2002
7/10
Author: cwdfwtx from texas

I caught this movie one night a few weeks ago and was surprised at the theme. A western horror involving an undead gunslinger vampire. It did drag at times but overall I found it a refreshing twist to your average western.Filmed in B/W which adds to the spookiness. Not a bad movie as some might think because of the theme,another western was made about 30 yrs later with a similar theme about undead gunslingers in a ghost town that mysteriously appears in modern times. It was pretty good too ,, check out Ghost Town from 1988 ..
