Just perfect...

How sad is this?

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

First of all, the plot summary is wrong. That is not what this movie is about. Second, it doesn't matter because this is the worst movie ever. I think the actors had microphones in their shoes because the dialogue was all muffled and their foot steps were extremely loud. Never see this movie.

A phantom horseman who appears every night with a human head tucked under his arm lets it be known that he is searching for eight gunfighters.Not sure I really get the bad reviews who all say it's a lot of fun, etc. This movie is written like an Ed Wood film and directed like a porno. In fact the director did some porn and the flick is filled with actors who did porn or soft core largely in the 70s. Others are one shot wonders who never worked again and some are whose character names are their actual names.I disagree with the reviewers who say this is a hoot and then give it one star. I think it deserves one star. It's actually a horrible movie filled with bad kumbaya folk music and even worse acting.They should have made this as a porno. The title character is dismal and you can see his head under the robe. He doesn't really show up until the movie is nearly done and that's after you're forced to listen to all that horrible hippie folk music.

As a film, this is truly an awful awful attempt. It's one of those "do it yourself" horror flicks that were so plentiful in the days of the drive-in and then repeated ad nauseum in the 70's on TV as "Creature Features". However this is quite a curio for those who find any of it's themes particularly interesting. The whole movie takes place at a closed-down "wild west" tourist attraction which once speckled our American highways in great numbers, but now only a few remain. For that reason alone, this film provides a rare time capsule into the great lost Roadside America! The cast of characters are hippies - tie-dye wearing, acid- dropping hippies. There's some yodeling. And of course the titular Headless Horseman who carries around a pretty realistic looking dead head for a bottom-of- the-barrel production such as this. Bad movie lovers will certainly find much to amuse in this. However, if you are a traditional movie-goer, this inept insanity will certainly try your patience or put you to sleep.

... like driving nails into your head with a pipe wrench or slamming various body parts repeatedly in a car door.I want to put Spoiler on this, but I think the movie's spoiled enough on it's own. Just scrape it into a Glad bag and leave it on the curb.I'm amazed that someone actually made a movie that manages to be WORSE than "Manos: The Hands Of Fate."Thank you, Leonard Kirtman, for making me renounce my home theater system. If there was a way to give a movie a lower rating than 1 Star, I would've jumped at it and shoved it down this movie's throat. (And I'm usually not a violent person...)We picked this stink-burger up in a 50 movie boxed set for $9.95 (which comes to about .20 cents per film), and that's still .20 cents more than this was worth (and probably pretty damned close to what it cost to produce it in the first place). I'm tempted to go back to the store and demand my .20 cents back for this one.The package said that it had a headless horseman on a ranch. That sounded cool!... Headless horseman in the Old West? How cool would that be?! So I put it into the machine. It's just a bunch of hippies getting stoned with a Super-8 movie camera and stumbling around a poorly created 'ghost town' set that would've made a much better paint-ball field than a movie. In fact, I think I'd rather have watched a bunch of stoned hippies stumbling around playing paint-ball than this. At least that would've been entertaining.So here's a list of Pros and Cons!Cons: Bad acting when they actually remember to act. When they aren't acting, it's even worse.Poor sound recording. I think I understood maybe 6 words in the whole movie. Everything else sounded like it was recorded at the end of a 100' galvanized pipe.Jumpy editing. They have Day for Night and Day for Day and they toss them all together into the same scenes.Lame monster. He goes around flinging blood at people from like 10 feet away. Doesn't actually kill them. I'm guessing that the Fur Is Murder idiots use this as a training film.Drug use indicated by flipping color filters. It didn't really get the point across so much as make you realize what a total moron the director was. The actors weren't good enough convey it, so I guess the director decided it was up to him to show us what was going on. And, it didn't work. At all.Pros: ..... um..... dammit. I guess I don't get a RAM chip, Joel. :o(
