LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

mbarn76 Awful acting, awful plot (wait a minute, what plot?)This movie begs the question, How do movies like this get made? I guess somebody gets a bunch of b-list actors together and they throw in a washed up Busey an expect the movie to be good? Anyway the setting for this movie was at a state fair just outside of Hilljack county. The costumes were clearly stolen from a discount western clothing store. The storyline was going to be used for porno, instead they decided to keep it on clean side.Please, don't waste your time with this movie. I beg you your life will thank you!!

villianthehero first of all i stumbled across this movie on show-time about 5 in the morning when i couldn't sleep and nothing else was on. i like westerns and love martial arts movies so i thought id check it out.well there's nothing great about this movie in fact there's not much good about it. everything about it is average, the acting, the script, the directing, all in all its a average direct to video movie. the gun fights are OK nothing spectacular. the martial arts are probably the best thing in this movie but not nearly enough to make the movie any better.warning spoilers ahead some things i had a problem with, the hole ghost thing was a little weird. how is a ghost gonna interact with everyone, hold cards, push stuff around, drink a beer, and shoot people.some people are complaining about the clichés and the fact that a few scenes are taken from other movies. that doesn't bother me. there will always be clichés in movies. and one of the greatest directors from my generation takes bits and pieces from other movies all the time, and the director i speak of is none other than quentin tarintino.all in all if your up late and cant sleep and stumble across this go ahead and watch it if u like direct to video b movies and western / martial arts movies, but don't expect much.

GAughey-1 I look at these "reviews" and I think to myself..."Self, these people are taking this way too seriously!". Anyway, as long as you realize that the money you spent partially went to help fund my "lil IL' town" of Tuscon (and here's to more productions in the future ((as i speak they're filming a Stephen King film here this morning))) then i'll sleep better at night! :D Personally, i found the movie fun. Yes, a little bit loose on story. Yes, a little bit stereotypical. And Yes, a little flawed on film technique but let us realize that they did'nt have the greatest cameras to shoot film with back in the Old West, now did they?! Oh, and that reference to John's line of "Arigato" at the end... the lady on the stage *was* Japanese.

lumenessence Alright, the movie might have been poorly scripted... and directed... and acted... and, um, edited... not to mention poor sound production with regards to dialogue synching and Foley (when someone falls through a solid wood hitching post it does make a sound)... BUT it features Adrian Barbeau.Well, she alone might not make up for all of the problems this movie features. I believe it was a conscious decision to cast her so that when the movie bombed she might catch the attention of her fans and push the movie into cult status (She did make Swamp Thing).If you don't want read spoilers, don't go any further. Not that it matters much with this movie, but I like to be polite.First of all, straight razor slash cuts bleed... a lot.Secondly, if you want us to understand that a character dies, show that character die. I had no idea if the little girl in the beginning of the movie was dead or alive. Maybe Johnny should have visited her grave when he returned to town? Speaking of Johnny, when we see him in the first scene, he is a thirteen-year old boy hiding in a barn to avoid the bad guys. Years later, how are we supposed to know he was the boy hiding in the barn? Throw in a sequence where he dreams about the incident? Yes, it's cliché, but it would have helped.Speaking of clichés, STOP! At least they make note of the fact in the dialogue that "Everyone is talking in riddles."In a magical world where ghosts not only interact with other characters and take baths, apparently they also grow older. How is your audience supposed to know that this woman is the little girl from your youth? As a matter of fact, how did Johnny know? He didn't recognize her, it isn't possible.Maybe, if you had shown Johnny and Savannah exchange gifts (a necklace or something) then you could have used that item to identify them later. I realize this would have taken more time to develop, so drop the scene where the preacher is frightened by the bad guys in the middle of nowhere. The slaughter of the Marshals should be enough to convey their arrival.Speaking of the arrival of the Marshals, since when do they ride in the engine of the train? Well, we see the remains of a train later in the fight scene, so apparently it was wrecked years ago and just the locomotive is in operation? Having been to the studios where they made this movie I can answer that one, all they have is a locomotive.In conclusion, get the word out to Cult Movie fans, see this movie. It has potential to be the next great cult classic!
