... View MoreTis one of the toughest things in film making to tackle, that of the western/horror hybrid. Here things are further complicated by some sort of attempt to add Gothic leanings and fantastical surrealism. Sadly nothing in the whole film works, it's a collage of botched ideas performed poorly by cast and technical crew alike.Plot, the attempt at one as such, pitches Wesley Snipes' dreadlocks spirit walker type on a revenge mission to eradicate the undead - who once as humans raped his loved one. Lots of strands are dangled within, flashbacks upon flashbacks, time shifts and characterisation distortions, all set to a parched wild west backdrop. There's plenty of blood dripped onto the corn but the corn is still corny, while the whole thing is a misogynists wet dream. Production design is decent, with the slaughterhouse sequences - and the costume design - better than average, and Snipes remains cool even if he surely knows he's in a very poor movie.But ultimately this is very much one to avoid. 2/10

This is a grab bag of weird.You weapons... you will not need them.This movie elongates all dialog and scenes needlessly.That was unnecessary.Someone is obsessed with long blonde hair.I feel like a worse person for having watched the whole thing, but I don't blame Wesley -- he's getting back into it.
... View More"Gallowwalkers" does pretty much everything wrong that anyone could possibly expect from a movie.The plot is not just really ordinary but got cut into many pieces and separated into confusing flashbacks which make this film quite hard to follow and almost unwatchable. This flick has a horrible flow and way too many lengths. The little twists in the story are not surprising but really random.The acting in this movie is extremely shallow and wooden. It's not necessarily a question of talent but it has to do with passion. To me, the actors don't seem to be convinced of their own roles and you can feel their bored, mechanical and unprofessional attitude throughout the entire flick.The negative elements don't stop there. The locations are really unspectacular. The duel at the railway is in the middle of nowhere and there wasn't even enough budget for a train. The weird prisons are randomly situated somewhere in the desert. There wasn't even enough Budget for any proper building since there are only cheap cages and old tents. Even the showdown doesn't take place on an elevated mountain but on a most ordinary hill. The special effects including lighting techniques, sound effects and visual elements can be described as an emotionless routine job at best and as completely forgettable if you want to be honest. Even the second-hand shop costumes and the cheap make-up are so bad that an unexperienced high school theater group would have done a more convincing job without any budget.Now, if this kind of movie lacks intriguing effects, a gripping plot and solid acting, it should at least come around with some addicting action or gore scenes as many films of this kind do. Even at this level, the movie is a miserable failure. The shootings feel predictable, stretched and unspectacular and there is only one kind of gore scene that is constantly repeated. That's why this movie lacks both action and tension. It feels incredibly long and hard to sit through, even for fans of bad b movies, cheap horror movies and modern westerns.Another problem is that this movie takes itself too serious and cannot even be considered a missed attempt at a genre parody or a film that simply wants to be absurd and please to some drunkards. It's just a bad movie from any point of view.There is only one minor reason why this poor excuse for a flick isn't the worst thing I may have watched. The movie has a small amount of a cool, dry and sinister atmosphere since we have to deal with the classic western stereotype of a silent and tough gunman who wants to take revenge for something obscure that happened in the past. Even though Wesley Snipes' acting is horrible, he still has the fitting look for this kind of cliché.In the end, there is no reason whatsoever to purchase or watch this movie. The trailer looks much better than what you get for real. Don't waste your precious time on this disaster and avoid this at all costs.
... View MoreI wanted to check this movie out because I thought the trailer looked cool, a unique storyline, maybe a little cheesy but still interesting. With a big name like Wesley Snipes, I thought it had a chance even with the low ratings. Boy was I wrong! The mostly nonsensical storyline was not well put together. It had many unexplainable plot holes like the undead coming back to life for an unknown reason killing to take peoples skins.The acting was simply horrid. The dialogue was unintelligent and with the terrible accents and out of sync speech, it made even the good lines stupid.All the effects were poorly done from fake looking graphics to corny makeup and lousy costuming. (Some good examples being the reptilian lizard skin man, or the dark skinned kid with white dreads) The action was just as bad as the rest of it with substandard fight scenes. The standoffs which are usually a highlight in westerns had little to no intensity whatsoever, which ruins the whole point and atmospheric mood.It quickly caused me to lose all interest, and the ending was extremely un-climactic.One plus was that they had some excellent desert scenery and backgrounds. If only something good could be said about the rest of this lame flick.
