Zombies
are invading the earth and it's up to one man
to stop them before it's too late. Things get even more
complicated when bounty hunters show up and give him
some trouble. And yep, that's more or less the plot
right there. A western zombie movie with close to
little plot and a whole lot of padding.
There's not a whole lot to say about this movie really.
Every single review on IMDB is positive so far, for
some strange reason, but even the people who liked it
seem to have a hard time reviewing the movie in more
than a few words. Why? Because there's no real story.
We are introduced to our laughable hero Ryn Baskin,
who has a silly frown on his face throughout the
entire movie, I guess they thought it made him look
tough. To make his character even more pathetic, he
smokes cigars. Yep, that's right, we have a classic
western film-cowboy on our hands people. It doesn't
help that Clint Glenn (playing Ryn Baskin) gives us
a horrible performance with some serious overacting.
In fact, most of the actors are beyond terrible.
Anyway, so I was saying, the movie starts out with
Ryn placing out body parts and guts all over a street
to attract the zombies. He then shoots them and
collects their fingers (and I thought stamp-collectors
were odd). Naturally, things don't go all that well
when a couple of no-good bounty hunters show up and
want his money. He ends up getting shot in the stomach
and left to die. "Fortunately", the bullet doesn't
kill him, and he goes after his gold together with
some Spanish guy who betrayed him. We're then in for
a whole lot of nonsense dialogue, western clichés
and walking dead until the movie finally ends after
only 72 minutes (yep, they've sure nailed the title).
Despite an exaggerated amount of make-up on the zombies
and a terrible plot, the movie somehow manages to keep
the viewer interested though. It looks incredibly good
technically wise for a low budget horror movie and while
the directing might not be top-notch, the cinematography
is great which makes the movie nice to look at. For
some strange reason, I can actually see how some people
managed to enjoy this. It's got a decent pace through
and through, and since the movie's so short, it's
actually not that difficult to sit through.
Overall it's not a good movie though. It's watchable,
but not good. The story is as thin as water and there
were just too many clichés in it for me to be able to
really enjoy it. I see a lot of potential in director
Gerald Nott though, and if he leaves the writing part
to someone else the next time, he might just have a
promising career in front of him.
Some intestines here and there, not that gory for a
zombie film actually.
Well let's just say that the score didn't exactly
blow me away. Felt quite cheap.
Watchable but heavily clichéd western zombie movie
with a very thin plot and some very bad acting. If
you're into western movies, you might get a kick out
of this one, but I just didn't think that it was a
very exciting ride.
