GL84 Stranded after a debate match, a team of students find the ghost town they're stuck in is home to a gang of devil-worshiping cowboys and must find a way to get out alive.There's a lot to like with this one. One of the better elements in this one is the rather exciting and frenetic action scenes in this one, which are spread throughout this one so it really gets rather fun and exciting. The enhanced pace of this one is due to the fact that the attacks in here are constant and spread throughout so there's plenty in here to keep this interesting. Whether it's brief attacks like the bus driver or the flashbacks to the other people to have been stuck in the town throughout its' history, or the extended attack scenes such as the saloon trap or the barnyard encounter, there's more than enough action within this one that keeps it buzzing along nicely. Each of this actually works quite well in keeping this going by having specific reasons to work, as the shorter scenes are a quick, suspenseful bit leading into the shock jump scene while the longer scenes get the benefit of having the fantastic action scenes get played out really nicely. That makes for healthy quantities of both variety and quantity to make this quite exciting and thrilling, which also plays into the other factors here of being a rather impressive body count with all the confrontations here as well as getting in a lot of good points with the Satanic imagery present that accounts for both the creepy back-story of the ghosts as well as their specific actions later on that make the finale so much fun. These manage to overwhelm the few flaws in this one, which is mainly the fact that the ghosts themselves aren't on-screen all that much. They tend to stay off-screen for most of the first half and have only sporadic screen time until the finale, including being curiously absent while the group engages in the one activity that can finally end matters once and for all, a scene that should contain their presence in the least. Along with the weak CGI in the blood and gore, it's the one flaw in this one.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Language and Brief Nudity.

Spikeopath After their bus mysteriously gets lost, a bunch of college kids find themselves trapped in a Wild West Ghost Town inhabited by evil spirits.Not awful by any means, as these budgeted TV productions go, it has some inventive death scenes (death by gasoline vomit a personal favourite here), Billy Drago as a venomous Cowboy spirit and some canted angles used for good atmospheric impact. Hell! The blending of maths stars and jocks, which while not original, makes for an interesting group dynamic and lets the writer (Andy Briggs) set up a decent finale as the remaining youngsters try to work out a way out of hell by using brain and brawn.Unfortunately director Todor Chapkanov seems to think that jitterycam is the way to go at every given opportunity, something which really hinders the atmosphere trying to get out. Then there is the MTV "R" US musical score/soundtrack that booms out inappropriately like proof was needed that noise does indeed annoy. While the town itself looks like some left over mock up from an American Adventure Theme Park.Filmed in Sofia, Bulgaria, it ultimately comes down to a bunch of pretty looking college kids (one of whom looks like Vin Diesel) getting killed amid angst, bullying and sexual yearnings. But like the characters in the story, the film seems stuck in a filmic purgatory, not really sure if it wants to slash, spook or yeehaw its way into our conscious. But as Syfy Channel time wasters go it just about passes muster. 4/10

elio92 Sy Fy Telefilm cheap that its function is to entertain the viewer from beginning to end, talking about it are those movies that only crash speaks like a youth group to go to a desolate place, or rather that of a country town where they have occurred several other battles in decades, plus it shows the overall budget. The performances are passable but I call more attention but the special effects are great. Sy Fy hopefully can do more with these types of movies.Billy Drago continues to maintain its performance in all types of movies with that damned villain. Also the rest of the units are mostly teenagers say I've never seen in other films, but it begins.The end seemed rather bland shows nothing but I was expecting something more.

simonfire1 Well there is 85mins of my life that I will never get back. This really is the worst film I have ever seen (and I've seen Dragon Wars). Don't know why films like this get made. One of the "ghosts" from 1866 uses a box of safety matches to do some dirty work - very safety conscious them 1866 cowboys. Billy Drago is lookin sad and old these days and his scary persona has all but vanished in this one with the scary having to come from some (not so) special effects. All the kids are deeply annoying without a touch of acting ability between them and the set seems to be made from old food boxes - Avoid wasting a night of your life on this one NO STARS
