needed vampires...or Clint Eeastwood

Vampires would have given this movie a little more emotional draw, either for comedic effect or some tension and fright, but without, it was just tired, and tiring to finish/watch... Obviously low budget (the sets looked like possibly rented, historically preserved, vintage 'Old West' sites in the Texas Hill Country - the buildings looked too new, the 'streets' of the 'towns' had grass growing in them, so obviously not much horse traffic in these Western vignettes, and when 'the gang' escaped to 'San Antone', they were the only people in the town, except for the occasional stock shot of 'a local' peeping out of a window at 'the gang' wandering around this empty town...extras to fill out the scenes must not have been in the budget...) and poorly edited (this did lend some comedic effect - whilst riding through 'the countryside', I spotted a pickup truck behind some trees; and one scene had Violet, the tired old whore, just staring intensely at the 'prepubescent kidnapped new meat' young girl/not yet whore, for no apparent reason...however, even these scenes were too few to qualify this as a comedy...and I believe this was meant to be a serious, dramatic Western...) This movie had enough funding to get shot and edited, but not enough to hire enough extras and provide production value. The acting wasn't horrible but the story and the character development was slender, even with a 90 minute or so run-time...Tommy's character, the hero, needed it, since everything seemed to revolve around him and his flaws, and the fact there were so many men living at his homestead seemed gay...now, that would have been an interesting plot development, but we do know his wife died, he had a son (without much development of this character or need to be in the story, other than as a motive for revenge later, but that motive was provided in the 1st 15 minutes of the movie...) and he has a German sidekick who looked to be in his 60's and has been with Tommy since he was a child (Tommy had killed his parents in a robbery and then took the sidekick in because he had a conscience attack and couldn't finish the boy off...), yet Tommy looks younger than the sidekick...Tommy refuses a relationship with Violet, the aged whore, so the possibility he was gay certainly could have been in play...There were no Clint Eastwoods in this movie and they needed one. Clint was able to make his shoestring budget spaghetti Westerns work by the sheer force of his personality and given that this movie obviously didn't have the budget to fly to Spain and Clint wasn't in it, don't have high expectations when renting this stinker...but if you have 90 minutes to kill and you have seen everything else, give it go...there are some unintended snicker moments in the film due to the poor editing.
