The general concept is the best thing about this movie--a Western-monster movie hybrid. The scenes in between the action (and there are many) are boring and serve little purpose--the characters or story are not developed in any interesting ways. The predicaments and the ways the protagonists get out of them are totally unimaginative. The monsters also look pretty silly and not very scary at all. (They also seem to move quickly initially, but then crawl later on.)

Great premise, and starts fairly decent, but it derails half-way. Subplots just disappear and there are some gaps in the story. The sudden ending doesn't help either. But I'll give a sequel another shot.

One of the best Direct to Video Western Horror films since Dead Birds...if that tells you anything.

Too many subplots take up so much time the monsters become a bit part in their own movie.

Competent film, disappointing creatures, good cinematography, overall, not so good night-time cinematography.

The creatures look kinda dumb, but I really like the wild west setting and obvious racial message.

Ending that's very inconclusive and almost makes the ride completely pointless. Some middle sections don't seem to make sense at all.

Decent watch that remains a little too ambiguous for its own good. Abrupt ending doesn't help either.

Mix "Tremors", western trimmings, some cool actors and (at the end, at last) a bucketload of distusting gore, bile and yucky acid, and you've got yourself a pretty decent b-movie.

Very well build horror flick. The mood and premise carry nicely till the end. Well, as long as you do not see the source of horror. The photography is beautiful and the cast is fine, but the meeting with monsters do not strike as well as it should.

Solid western take on "Tremors" that succeeds on the strength of it's cast (Clancy Brown is great) and solid photography that helps build a sense of dread, without resorting to jump scares.

"Sets you up for 'predictability' in both the western and horror departments, and then subverts those expectations time and again."

"A Western-meets-creature-feature yields a surprisingly rewarding horror experience."

As far as modern DTV horror goes this is pretty damn good! Highly watchable.
