Like two unrelated movies slammed together to create one...

Warning: Spoilers
I was not sure what to expect when I started watching this film and now I am not sure what I have seen play out before my eyes. A movie that seems like it is almost similar to that Chuck Norris film, Breaker, Breaker as it plays like a small town that needs to meet its comeuppance. Throw in a very lanky and slow moving monster to the mix and you have your film. However, do not even think this monster is going to pay the citizens of a town that may be racist and takes advantage of tourists back for all the wrongs they have committed...no, we do not even get that satisfaction sadly.

The story has a dude raising sheep go to Reno with some money and he promptly hits the jackpot and stupidly lets himself get taken to Virginia City where he is robbed and everyone blames him. He ends up getting a ride home by some doctor and has a strange interlude and ends up with a strange embryo. Not sure if he had sex with the sheep to create this abomination, but the doctor is interested in it. Well forget the monster for the time being as then we watch a guy try to buy land and get framed for a dog's murder and get framed for attempted murder as he for some reason stays when I would have left long ago. The monster comes into play a bit, but the thing is so weak and slow if you get killed by it, it's your own fault!

The movie seems to be two different movies. Like they were making a movie about injustice, but then another movie company came along that was making a monster film and the makers of the film about the corrupt town said, "Cool! Let's pull our resources!" and this was the result! A horrific abomination, much like the strange mutant sheep monster.

So not a good film, would have been better if that monster had gotten to kill nearly everybody in that town, but no, was not going to happen with this monster. I mean, they hinted that more of these things may be made at the end, but there could be hundreds of these things and the world would not have too much problem taking them down. The actual end to this one comes suddenly and is completely bonkers as the mayor of the town just starts directing his guys to kill the townspeople who are trying to kill the monster while Eddie, the guy who you think is the lead at the beginning but just kind of hangs back tends to his girlfriend named Mariposa. The film is just strange and worth a look see just to see the craziness of it all.
