A very different western/horror film.

Fella_shibby

I saw this in 2009 n revisited it recently on a DVD which i own. This film is a refreshing mix of creature-feature n the American Old West. The plot - A family is massacred in their homestead n the womenfolk disappeared during the night. A search team is formed to go after the Indians who everyone assumes r the culprits. Comparison with The Searchers n Tremors r inevitable. This film has strong performances and beautiful cinematography. It is a slow burner with building tension and suspense. The creature effects are good, though the lack of budget can be easily spotted. The film is quite tense in places and the attempt at creating something different should be commended. The over exposure of the CG creatures towards the end was a minor flaw. If only such movies r encouraged by good budget.

score 8/10
