*** This review may contain spoilers ***
*Plot and ending analyzed*
Well, it's an extremely low budget Western movie so you can expect it to have its variety of faults.
I sat through the whole movie, and although there were rough parts, it is at the lower level of "average". Which is therefore acceptable for a movie of this budgetary type.
I think that they did their best at making an independent movie. Some scenes are unintentionally funny, and other scenes are plain tedious. All the characters are particularly annoying and unappealing.
With the title of the movie, you can probably guess how it will end. And what is going on.
A man wandering the Arizona outback finds a desolate town where he gets a job as a barkeep. Not many people are about, and the ones that are, are repulsive. As is he. The desolation of the town provides much ambiance.
There is some nice vernacular written into the dialogue at times.
The movie is not frightening at all, but there is a sense of unknown dread running around.
They also use some irritating computer generated effects for the gunfire, dead makeup on the faces, and for the fires burning the buildings. But it is moderately bearable.
I think they should have left the "explanation" ending out of the movie, and ended it with more ambiguity.
Still, I don't diminish these low budget Westerns. They can be unique in some ways.
