Sorry, this movie sucks
Moustroll
Good movie but grossly overrated
Kaelan Mccaffrey
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Marva
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

"I must taste her blood."- Native American Women, They're not vampires?! I found this movie incredible racist. The movie portrayed the Native Americans as savage monsters who wen't around killing and scalping settlers. Depending on the tribe Native Americans mainly tried to avoid the white settlers who would come on their land to hunt, mine for gold and end up offending the natives. The only reason Natives fought the settlers were to over come the new US government who cheated them out of promised food, land and treatment. To speak of the settlers being innocent and in fact friendly to the natives was an all over lie. They should have done their research before making a movie like this, damn shame. Along with that but the effects were horrible, the lighting was terrible the acting was horrendous, andthe sound wasn't done correctly. It really should just go back on the shelf named "Home-Made Movie"!

Lighting is bad. In the same scene, some skin tones were washed out while others were almost totally unlit. The sound is bad (speech is similar to 'projecting' high school stage actors before rehearsals are complete)The amount of stereotyping is shocking; Native American war chants and 'whooping' are only one example. Actors seemed totally unconvincing. At the date of this review, there were 13 ratings of 10/10 and some reviews were written in decent English but were totally accepting of the nearly unprecedented-for-even-modern-TV flaws (November update, the trend continues: out of 139 ratings there are now 18 ratings of 10/10. Making this more suspicious, there is only 1 rating of 9/10 and another 2 ratings of 8/10. On the 10 point scale, the median rating is a more representative and honest 2/10). My guess is that the cast, and the directors etc, solicited friends and other friendly people to watch and vote on, and in some cases review, this mess (The November update data above suggest that that guess is still on target).

Would give it one star but the sheer horrendous nature of the film gives one at least a little bit of fun mocking it.Where to start.The acting and script are beyond bad. It seems like they were almost trying to be more campy than the old racists Westerns from the 50's and failed. I an shocked they were able to find that many really horrible Amerind actors. I've seen third grade plays with more depth to the characters.Set and costuming: Okay I get that they have no budget but honestly the anachronisms were over the top. Surely there must have been someone around at the time that could have dug up some props that weren't entirely composed of shiny new plastic. None of the weapons, be they native or European, were period and the costumes seem to be entirely composed of items the director had found in the back of his closet. I imagine the beads were probably left over from the previous years Mardi Gras celebration.Would not watch again. Wish I hadn't watched in the first place.

Really fun movie! You can tell the filmmakers had a great time making it. Alvin Cowan has a great screen presence and makes for a likable, back to the days of cliffhanger serials hero. Supporting character actor Steve Guilmette makes for one of the funniest drunken sidekicks I've seen in a while. The supporting cast as well (especially the characters that are introduced in the saloon) are fantastic. It's fun to see a throwback movie like this done in this day and age. It's a great escape and a movie for all ages.The Burk Brothers have done a fantastic job with this very entertaining western. I'm looking forward to their upcoming work and keeping my fingers crossed for a sequel!
