    Not bad for what it is - could've done without the overly indie music

    This is a pretty enjoyable apocalyptic indie film. Although it's really not set in the wild west although where it is set, the American mountains is an amazing setting and one of the highlights of the film. The characters are also kind of interesting, with the three main characters the man, the daughter and the sheriff all getting some decent screen time and being well acted.

    It's really not bad - even if the story gets a bit weird near the end. The only thing is the music - really could've done without it. It's all in the ears of the listener but too me it didn't suit the film at all to say the least. The music and singing scenes dragged on and are the reason why I've taken off a couple of points here.

    You wouldn't think a trailer could ruin a movie but here we are

    From the terrible cuts, scenes that add nothing to the actual story or plot and the worlds worst rap song I give the trailer the "lower than the fiery pits of hell rating. Like seriously.... This trailer is so bad, I already hate the movie.

    This may be the worst movie ever!

    I cannot believe that I watched the whole thing. I kept hoping it would get better, it didn't. That's an hour and a half that I'll never get back. I've wasted my time so that you do not have to waste yours.

    Save your time

    I kept thinking this movie would get interesting, but it never did. The acting was really sub-par, the plot line was thin, and I am guessing that the budget was well under 6 figures. In other words, this is an hour and change I will never get back.

    Something I wanted to do years ago

    When I was in college, I dreamed of getting to this point. Having created a world by my own writing and filming. I give this film a ten not for the technical aspect or the performances. I give it because throughout the film, it reminded me of wanting to be a filmmaker.

    The cinematography was pretty on point and the story was serviceable for a film of this budget. I hope these creators keep making films, because they have a passion I lost years ago.

    I enjoyed the film plenty. It reminded me of a time on YouTube where I'd spend hours watching low budget producers just have fun and create these interesting worlds.
