Mike R @Mikeruss 1d Awful movie. The premise was just ok, but the acting and CGI were atrocious. See more Desiree V. @DesiVelez 2d I loved the movie! It combined the essence of an old western, sci-fi, horror and indigenous mythology. The acting was undeniably great which honestly you don't always see in an independent films. It is a little on the gruesome side at one point but if you know of certain Native American mythology it goes along with that being. The location, the set and the costumes all true to the period and therefore enhances the believability. There's a twist at the end and it leaves you thinking. Which is something you really do want at an end of the film. Who wants to make a movie that doesn't leave someone thinking about it later? There's a couple of different little plots in there that make for a great soup. So if you're looking for something to watch this would be it. I don't want to give away the story but I will say I'm always grateful when the one who truly needs to get it gets it in the end! Karma is a you know what.. enjoy. See more Ron L @Moviewatcher54 3d I seen this film at the garden state film festival in New Jersey and as an actor and director of my own films I found the performances feel grounded and authentic, and the cinematography gives the story real texture and mood. What impressed me most is how confidently the movie knows what it wants to be, delivering an experience that is both entertaining and surprisingly thoughtful. I was blown away at how good the film was, and I see a plethora of films and I often go to festivals many times a year. I walked up to Ken after the Q&A Introduced myself and congratulated him on an amazing performance and accomplishment. I remember talking to my other film friends that are actors , directors , sound guys, camera crew and telling them about this movie I had four days of nonstop movie watching at that festival and this is the only one I remembered I had my own short in the festival and I can’t even remember which one it was lol . This is a must watch film See more John R 4d Absolutely loved this film! The authenticity made you feel like you were there . A great original storyline that is driven over the top by spot on acting all around!! Arnold, Deluca and Servitto knock it out of the tribe! See more Tracy T @tbteague 5d ATCP is chef's kiss! I would type more here, but I wanna go rewatch the movie. See more Anita M. @initanurse 5d Wow! This movie does not disappoint! The characters were well developed, the actors were extremely engaging, and the shots on location were amazing! I was nervous about the movie having some horror threaded throughout but the storyline did a great job at pulling drama and the western themes in! I've watched other westerns that some of these actors have been in, and this one, like I mentioned above, does not disappoint either! The entire movie was a thrilling ride of suspense and redemption! A must see!🍅🍿🤠 See more Read all reviews
