Cowboy Zombies (2013)

Cowboy Zombies: Directed by Paul Winters. With Jarod Anderson, Greg Bronson, Kiera Crouch, Matt E. Derdivanis. The Arizona Territory, the 1870’s. Marshal Frank Wilcox, along with a Buffalo Soldier from the U.S. Army, must galvanize a group of survivors to fight back when the living dead rise and seek the flesh of the living. It’s a world gone mad and a battle against the unthinkable. Joined by an Apache Chief and an outlaw prisoner, the group must learn how to survive in a time where the dead walk.

“This film begins in the Arizona Territory in April of 1876 with a marshal by the name of u0026quot;Frank Wilcoxu0026quot; (Paul Winters) sneaking up on 3 outlaws who are fast asleep. Although he has a rifle pointed at them the outlaws decide to draw their guns which leads to two of them being killed and the other wounded. Then all of a sudden something similar to a lightning strike reanimates the dead outlaws who then attempt to attack the marshal. Itu0026#39;s at this time that the scene essentially shifts to 2 outlaws being hung in the nearby town of u0026quot;Crumpetu0026quot; for their assorted crimes. Sure enough, the same strange light appears and even though both outlaws are dead they come back to life again-as do all of the other dead people in town. And within no time all of these zombies are attacking all the living people around them. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that prior to watching this film I expected something with a bit more humor and was pleasantly surprised to see that it actually had a serious plot. Donu0026#39;t ask me why but I just expected something different. Unfortunately, my cheerful mood was soon diminished as I discovered that the movie suffered from the usual issues associated with a low-budget production which included bad acting, a weak script and poor special effects. That being the case, I have rated this film accordingly. Below average.”
