Final Thoughts
This is basically two separate movies in one, it even has a sequence at the hour mark that you would swear was the end of the movie. The first hour of this movie is a story about contaminated water turning townspeople into zombieish creatures, and in the last half hour it basically turns into a modern day western. There is very little gore, but a lots of typical low budget action movie explosions and gunfire, and i liked the first hour of the movie, but the last hour killed it a bit, as i found it boring, with the generic western storyline of the good guys chasing the bad guys through some desert mountains, however if you someone who likes scenery the last have may be more interesting to you, as it is very heavy on atmosphere shots. A movie that is probably worth seeing for most of you, as it is loaded with b-movie talent, but if your not a fan of the over-the top action movie stuff, then stay away, because that most of what your gonna get.
