Cowboy Zombies

This film begins in the Arizona Territory in April of 1876 with a marshal by the name of "Frank Wilcox" (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. It's at this time that the scene essentially shifts to 2 outlaws being hung in the nearby town of "Crumpet" 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. Don'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.
