Cowboys and Horror are never a good mix, 26 October 2009
4/10
Author: qbadthings (qbadthings@yahoo.com) from United States

I watched this movie because I had a cold and was immobile for a few hours. Though it was a bearable movie, it was really bland.

The acting was on par, as good as it will get in a "horror" movie. I was sufficiently satisfied with the level of fear and desperation portrayed by all characters. However, I was disappointed by the level of character development. This can be attributed to the number of characters in the movie, so it's very forgivable.

The atmosphere in the movie is satisfactory. For the most part, it really felt like the 1800's. There were a few scenes during the night that seemed like it was too well lit for an era that didn't have electricity but over all, the set was well done.

If this movie was a docudrama about life in the 1800's, it would've been great! But this was supposed to be a horror movie. Being a horror movie, it should've made me scared. Instead, it made me hate the military leader for his racist behavior. That's the emotion that I still feel as I write this review. For this reason, I can't give it a higher rating than 5 stars; however, because it was also really bland, I gave it a 4-star rating.

If you're bored of PvP'ing in World of Warcraft and you're out of "the good stuff", go ahead a check this movie out. Just make sure you don't buy it. It's definitely just a one-time-viewing type movie.
