Epic FAIL!



I'll admit right off the bat that this isn't a review, I wasn't even able to finish this film. Really slow, bad acting, incompetent writing, bad production values, poorly filmed....this really had a lot going against it. Jack Elam, the headliner of the film, first name in the credits and the name ABOVE the title on the poster.....is in the film for about two minutes...ugh, such a disappointment. Not that I was holding out any hopes for a good film, but maybe something that was a little entertaining. Its really hard to find good Weird Western films. For some reason, the Weird West works really well in other mediums, but on film there are so few good films worth watching.

I dont blame this one for its low production values, or small budget. Bravo for getting it made (In fact Jack Elam's appearance was probably why it got made, since the rest of the cast are total unknowns)...but boo on it for the shoddy film making and poor acting.

And the Sound design! ugh! Talk about generic!

I'm sorry, but this film gets 0 Bloody Spurs...

With Single Minded Purpose They Come....



Uninvited is a film that I only heard about recently, and after seeing the trailer, I think that it will either be really good or really bad. I'm not convinced that the "Ghost Indian" effect is very scary, but the scares could be more story related....the cast looks to be inhabited by eccentric, interesting characters which is always (in my opinion) a plus for any Western. As soon as I've seen this I'll write a full review.

Until then here is a taste....and major kudos go to the fact that the always awesome Jack Elam stars, and Mr. Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime himself) narrates the trailer!

Enjoy...
