It wasn't very good. The cinematography, story line, makeup, costumes, and gross-out factor were okay for a cowboy/zombie/comedy movie. The horses and scenery were filmed well. The concept should have been acceptable to build a comedy around, but the attempt failed. The story line includes saloon girls, the town priest, the sheriff, graveyards, and various and sundry shots of zombie slaughtering. Nevertheless, the script, direction, and acting were poor. Actually, Leslie Jordan was okay and James Denton was not too awful, but Chris Kattan (of Saturday Night Live) and Navi Rawat are really, really poor. No one seemed to realize that for this kind of film to work the characters must take themselves and each other seriously. Perhaps the makers envisioned something like "Blazing Saddles" with zombies, but it just didn't work out. It felt like an idea conceived at a fraternity reunion booze-fest, and carried out the next afternoon with hangovers and regrets. Even for the hardened zombie fans, this one is hardly worth a visit.
