... View MoreOkay, I'm not going to say this is a good movie, because it really isn't. But if I were scoring it for effort, I'd give it a 10. Maybe an 11.This is a zero-budget horror western. An 1860's marshal is taking a murderer to his trial in Yuma. They get sidetracked in a really odd ghost town. Much weirdness ensues.The story is really, really interesting. The writing isn't bad, and sometimes it's downright good. The actors playing the marshal and the badman are both entertaining. The marshal is low-key and earnest, and the bad guy is an over-the-top psycho. Gotta love that.But the movie suffers a whole lot due to the lack of budget. The costuming is bad to the point of hilarity. Female characters appear in everything from 1980's style prom dresses that kinda-sorta look like they were western inspired, to Frederick's of Hollywood lingerie. A peripheral male character is actually wearing acid-washed jeans. The special effects are cringe-making. (Okay, there's one good gunshot to the head. I'm guessing everybody pooled their money for that one.) But don't get me wrong--I'm not dissing this flick. I totally admire anyone who can get their act together enough to create a DIY movie. And this one has some real imagination behind it. Yay for indie filmmakers!
