ChikPapa Very disappointed :(
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
dougdoepke Plot (or what there is of it)-- Moving West the parents of two boys are murdered by predatory white men pretending to be Indians. Years later, a grotesque killer called the Rawhide Terror picks off men from a town nearby to where the two boys were orphaned. So what's going on. If you like a lot of aimless riding around greater LA, then you may like this feeble oater. The main problem is that it's an edited-down version of a half-done chapter serial. Too bad someone didn't turn on the lights since the characters come and go in no particular order, while cheap chase scenes go on and on. Then too, characters change names for no apparent reason, so if you can figure out the interplay, you belong at MIT. Now I don't blame the producers for getting what money they could out of the abortion, but I really pity anyone who paid to see it. The results do manage a creepy moment or two with the Terror's gruesome face, but except for horror movies' favorite location-- Bronson Canyon Cave-- the oater's a real bomb.
Theo Robertson The only reason I watched this is because it was advertised on the internet as "A horror Western" Hmmm a mixed genre film featuring cowboys and horror elements . It's not something you see every day. After seeing the movie it's not something I want to see again A caption tells us "In the nineties twelve renegades disguise themselves as Indians to rob settlers" You have to remember this is a Western so any mental images of Peter Sellers dressing himself up in a turban and robbing rave goers at a beach in Goa are quickly dispelled. Considering the renegades are so ruthless they won't take any prisoners it's never revealed why they have to disguise themselves in the first place As the film continues it becomes more and more apparent that this in no way any type of horror movie . It's just simply a revenge Western where a boy grows in to a man off-screen and when he reaches adulthood it's a case of a man having to do what a man has to do. I felt rather cheated by this and you will be too if you're expecting horror thrills I did perhaps console myself in watching a film from an era when talkies ere just becoming common place while baring in mind it's a massive amount of films were being made from yesteryear. But no it's a dreadful film composed of stilted acting , haphazard editing and badly framed sequences. And no it's not bad enough to be good either. A complete waste of 47 minutes
JohnHowardReid Although he tried hard – and that was just the trouble – Ed Cobb was one of the least charismatic actors under the sun. Ed always knew his lines and never gave any of the directors of his 661 movies and TV shows any trouble or any arguments – or, worse still – any suggestions. This film was Cobb's only starring role, although he did not, of course play the lead character. Nevertheless, he is given the lion's share of screen time in this extremely muddled and somewhat dull western which is not really worth anyone's attention except lovers of ridiculous but dreary, all-talking, bottom-of-the-barrel, z-grade movies. Although Art Mix is billed as the star, I don't recall seeing him in the last half of the film at all. However, don't quote me! It's quite likely that I simply fell asleep. And I'm certainly not going to watch this mess of a movie again – not ever! Available as an extra in Troma's "Psycho a Go- Go" DVD.
FightingWesterner Traveling across the prairie in a covered wagon, a family is attacked and the parents slain by a band of outlaws posing as renegade Indians. With the murderous deed done, the eldest of the two surviving brothers disappears hysterically laughing into the brush, never to be seen again.Years later, the outlaws are now legitimate businessmen of the town of Red Rock, being terrorized and systematically murdered by a mysterious fiend known only as the Rawhide Killer, a buck-toothed loony with a strip of rawhide across his nose!Being quite possibly the stiffest western of the 1930's, it does have a bit of charm thanks to the odd nature of the mad killer, his incredible wardrobe, and some inventive use of murder techniques.Writer-producer Victor Adamson, better known as Denver Dixon, was the father of drive-in filmmaker Al Adamson, the director of another much maligned western, Five Bloody Graves.
