Not bad if you have the patience, 22 August 2009
6/10
Author: thekarmicnomad from United Kingdom

This is a Lionsgate film meaning you can expect a low budget and a standard of movie somewhere between total pap and inspired genius.

An interesting twist having the Western backdrop to this horror. I thought the movie was OK.

It had that true-story feel to it, the way that none of the ends met up and characters would randomly disappear in to the sun-set to follow their own paths. That should be a plus point but I found it a little tiresome.

The pace of the movie is incredibly SLOW it ebbs along like a glacia climbing a hill on a hot day.

The film is on the cheap-side but Lionsgate films have lots of experience of stretching budgets. Lots of the scenes are set in desert and wilderness with hardly any set and are expertly lit so you feel like you are watching a box office movie.

If you get bored easily or just want to kill two hours steer clear of this.
