"This is why frontier life is so difficult. Not because of the Indians or the elements but because of the idiots." - Samantha

Why watch this? This Western horror film is intense, gory, disturbing and amazing.

Plot Summary: In the Old West, a small-town sheriff and his unlikely posse of four embark on a perilous journey. Their mission is to rescue three abducted townspeople, including a sheriff's deputy, local doctor and his daughter. The abductors are a brutal, cannibalistic clan living in a desolate region. As they venture into dangerous territory, they quickly realize their foe is far more savage and ruthless than they could have imagined.

Dad's Preview: After Tombstone, I eagerly awaited Kurt Russell's next Western. It took a while, then this film popped up on IMDB. I read the summation, and knew I'd love it - sight unseen. I was not wrong. Set in the old West, ill-prepared pursuers are tracking a kidnapped girl. They are expecting a tribe of Indians they can over-come as they have times before. What they actually find is a blood-thirsty cult of cannibalistic savages. This one gets a little bloody, well actually, very, very bloody.
