The film takes place in 1887 Colorado. Two bank robbers hold a group of stage coach riders hostage in a saloon/ stage coach stop. A sheriff and a Navajo woman are on their trail. Meanwhile stories of a shapeshifter Skin Walker abound as we anticipate the werewolf scene.The characters in the story have their secrets, but they are presented in a way that doesn't make the characters or the film overly interesting. The hostage scene dragged on way too long as we awaited to see a man in a bad wolf suit...Oh look, the mouth moved a little! The dialogue does have some meager attempts at humor. The wanted posters in the background of Tom Nixon and the Apache Kid are from 1877, kudos for doing your homework as many indies create anachronisms at this point. The film suggests a sequel.Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity. For those who like western genre mixing I would suggest BONE TOMAHAWK.

This one actually took me by surprise - I was expecting much less from this film so I found it a pleasant surprise. I think I was expecting bad acting, horrible script, terrible cinematography and that sort of thing but what I found was the complete opposite from my expectations.You will see the werewolf at the very beginning then it turns into a really good western drama that builds suspense towards the last 30 minutes or so of the film - which is where you will see the werewolf and get some action involved.I really like this one - it's not a gore fest - there is a little but NOT overly done by any means. It's just a well written and acted werewolf western film.8/10

Under attack by a group of criminals, a small outpost town attempts to find a way of derailing the bank robbers stalking them find an even more dangerous and vicious beast in the nearby woods and must band together to stop the deadly creature.This here wasn't all that bad of a werewolf film and did have some solid points about it. When this one is mostly concerned with it's attacks by the creature itself, this one really comes off nicely with the action providing this one with some rather enjoyable elements throughout here. The opening assault against the different hunters makes for a great time with the rather suspenseful attacks keeping things chilling while letting the kills generate some nice bloodletting in the savagery of the actions, while the later attack in the saloon is quite a hit of fun with the rather frantic and chaotic attacks coming through the walls and windows requiring all sorts of shootouts throughout trying to kill it. As well, the finale in the streets of the old-west town as they try to get the creature killed is a bit of fun with the fun attacks and different escapes required throughout the town that makes for an enjoyable if slightly problematic effort that highlights the few flaws within here. The fact that the action is enjoyable is fine, but it's way too confined to that one section of the film as the majority of the time this one doesn't really offer up a whole lot of rather frantic werewolf action on display. It's only got these several scenes to really go on that generates the kind of overall action within this one that lets it be known it's actually a werewolf movie since the majority of the film is concerned with other areas than getting to the creature. By focusing on the different criminal gang interacting with the townspeople and how they're getting the underhand against the creature running loose, it all holds off the attack generated from the attacks actually occurring as there's so much time in between it getting loose again that it takes up the time on these other matters which isn't all that interesting as the main section of the film. As well, that problem also brings up another in the form of a rather brief series of action scenes that go by quickly in order to move on to the next scene without ever letting the action sink in, and with the quick-shot editing this one really does have some substandard action within here. These here are the film's few issues that hold it down.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

I am a huge fan of werewolf films and this film is nothing but a good werewolf horror film. All the credit goes for Jeremy Wooding, the director, who brilliantly limited the CGI effects in the film and let the beast lurk in the darkness. What is to be appreciated here is , how the director managed to deliver an decent film with in such limited budgets but not sacrificing on any aspects of the horror. From my point of view this a perfect werewolf horror film, where the werewolf fans will be 100% satisfied. It's like yeah you know he is out there, but he won't just show himself, but you go outside that saloon and he's gonna slash you into pieces. I strongly recommend this film for all those werewolf film fans. Another good one after "Late Phases". Low budget but really cool film.
