Right, well the reason for why I sat down to watch the 2017 movie "From Hell to the Wild West" from writer and director Rene Perez wasn't really because it was a western movie. No, I sat down to watch this solely because of Robert Bronzi - as he looks a lot like Charles Bronson, so it is oddly enjoyable to watch him on the screen actually.
I didn't have much of any expectations to the movie given the title and given the fact that it was a horror movie set in a western setting. That usually is not a great combo in my opinion. But still, I hadn't seen the movie before, so I sat down to watch it.
Well, let's just say that you are not missing out on a great slice of cinematic history if you don't watch "From Hell to the Wild West". This movie was boring, mundane and generic. And the plot and storyline wasn't really much of anything appealing. It was, at a lack for better words, simplistic.
The acting was as to be expected for a movie such as this. Needless to say more.
The horror aspect of the movie was just boring and quite far from being scary or interesting. And the killer was just so bland that it wasn't memorable. This is not going to be a new Jason Voorhees or Freddy Krueger.
As for the special effects in "From Hell to the Wild West", well lets just say that they were there. They weren't good, and the blood effects when people got shot or hacked into was just atrociously bad. Well, at least that had me laughing, so that had to count for something.
My rating of "From Hell to the Wild West" is a three out of ten stars, solely granted because of the production level of the movie and because Robert Bronzi was in it.
