I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The walking dead inhabit a ghost town in the modern day southwest. Among the town folk is a monstrous villain who terrorizes everyone. Into this hell hole stumbles a modern day sheriff, looking for a missing girl. The effects, makeup, and authentic location somewhat overcome the below average acting. Memorable characters include Bruce Glover as "Dealer", and even more interesting is Jimmie F. Skaggs as "Devlin". "Dealer" has a knack for telling the future through his card reading. "Your future will wait till you get there, it's the past you can't do anything about." Skaggs actually saves the film as the nasty villain "Devlin". A strong bad guy is an essential part of any good western, or for that matter any zombie western. - MERK

I have a soft spot for direct-to-video horrors of the 80's and 90's(don't get me started on the terrible cinema of today) and this is one of my favorites. The horror and western collide perfectly in this original little film.Lawman Franc Luz, who does a remarkable job, searches for a missing beauty, Catherine Hickland, in the middle of the desert. During his search, spooky things happen to him, as he sees a phantom rider that terrorizes him at every port of call. Stumbling through the desert, he happens upon an abandoned town, and as a storm approaches, he seeks shelter in one of the buildings.Luz is quickly involved in an age-old town struggle against an evil criminal, creepily portrayed by Skaggs. Skaggs has abducted Hickland because she bears a striking resemblance to an old brothel house singer he was once smitten with.If you enjoy solid horror films with substance rather than blood and guts, than this little gem is right up your alley. I highly recommend picking this up.

Lets get straight to the point. It's about a girl who is swept away by a ghost and taken to a ghost town. The sheriff of another town tries to find her and gets taken to the ghost town. He is drawn deep into a plot involving a bunch of outlaws who are ruling the town and he must try and stop them. The movie is rather boring but at least it leaves you wondering until the end. Frank Luz is a bit dull as the sheriff but Jimmy F. Scaggs who normally plays tramps in movies is menacing and damn evil as the main outlaw Devlin. For gore hounds, look elsewhere but for fans of 'The Twilight Zone' who love a good story with ghosts and mystery, watch this. I wouldn't watch it twice though. 4 out of 10.

I don't have a lot to say about this movie other than it was a damn fine little horror film. I found it to be in the style of The Evil Dead series. The main character of Langly goes from being a seeming 3rd rate heavy metal addicted stumpwater deputy into being a hero fighting evil. The difference here is that rather than an old spooky woods or a medieval keep, the he is tossed into a western ghost town. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who appreciates a little camp and a lot of fun tossed together with their living dead.
