Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
The movie opens with a silly close range blood squirting shoot out. Mortimer (David A. Lockhart) is a bounty hunter. After collecting his bounty he opts to go after an Indian (Rick Mora) wanted for raping a "white virgin." (I don't write this stuff.) Others have tried and died. He lives in the woods. Mortimer buys Rhiannon (Camille Montgomery) a reluctant woman to come with him to use as bait.Meanwhile there is a subplot of a meteor being found in a farmer's field with fluorescent green stuff and no Steven King. The farmer has a daughter (Heather Montanez) who does take a bath...and like any good circus, the big top is worth the price of admission. The meteor turns the town's folk into the fast moving zombies as opposed to the raise from the dead variety.I liked the metal soundtrack. We've seen worse acting. Many are first time actors. The special effects or make-up was very stiff. The dialogue wasn't great. The buttons on the women's blouses never seemed to work either.No f-bombs, no sex, nudity (Camille Montgomery, Mandy Pauline, Heather Montanez)
I have only watched half of this movie as of the time this review is being written.according to IMDb, this film was made with a budget of $30,000 (thirty thousand, not million) dollars.if that is correct- then FANTASTIC results for the money spent.I agree with most of the other reviewers: C-grade acting, D-grade script, but the film looks and sounds great.so again, good news: if you have $30K, and if you have a bunch of friends who want to work cheap, and if you are talented enough to tell a good story, then this movie will be an inspiration.... Hey, even Kevin Smith started with nothing.
A meteor lands in Jamestown California in 1849 during the gold rush. It is found by miners who think it has emeralds inside because of the green glow so they decide to crack it open and what happens is it releases a gas -like spoor which turns the town population into blood thirsty zombies.That's it, plain and simple. It could have been a great story but this was ultra low budget and basically has no name stars in it. Their was a subplot of a bounty hunter but you really don't care for it especially when the so-called hunter has a whiny voice! Not believable for one minute. The women in this flick just have to act scared and helpless and oh yeah,show their breasts every chance they get! Ha ha!All in all, it was not bad. In the beginning, you think oh no not another zombie wannabee movie. But as it starts getting to the end it actually gets a little better and by the time it starts to grow on you, it ends rather erupt with a open ending, leaving room for a possible sequel!?? Like I said , had they had a better budget and better actors, this could have been a true classic to the Zombie franchise.But all in all a tad way better than the other so-called zombie flicks I have been seeing lately. A good movie to fun with by having a drinking game related to the anachronisms in it like: (I see breasts ... drink! , I see Zombie bite....Drink!) It's worth at least one viewing but no more than that.
after the watching super 8 last night and struggling to stay awake through a group of stupid kids running around a one horse town this film made a refreshing change yes it is low budget but that is part of the appeal and the guns well i reckon they are the most realistic sounding guns that i have seen and heard when you remember its what they had in the real wild west zombies looked good and just enough story line to keep it entertaining right to the end, well done and certainly worth a watch. i have found many films like this are more enjoyable than the so called big movies which for some reason get rave reviews no matter how bad they are, a movie is about some time out from reality for relaxation and entertainment and this is both, well done what happened to the horse lol
