"Curse of the Forty-Niner" doesn't really deserve a long and detailed review, so I'll just make some random observations about it:
- Cool opening credits.
- No plot.
- Is there anyone who's ever seen a horror film before and can't guess,
within the first 20 minutes, who will survive and who will not among this group of walking stereotypes?- Hey, that newcomer (Alexandra Ford) is pretty hot!
- Richard Lynch (made-up to look about 100 years old) and John Phillip
Law have fun, tongue-in-cheek cameos.- Karen Black has a bigger role, but she's not fun - she's rather
embarrassing.- Martin Kove is on-screen for about 40 seconds, but still got his name
on the video cover. Did they pay him for this appearance or was it the other way around?- I hate cheap computer-generated effects in horror films.
