Silent Thunder

Obviously very inspired by Bone Tomahawk, with some significant differences. The acting and budget were certainly far below that of its obvious inspiration. While set in a western time period and maintaining some common western themes, the score and dialog in the movie veered well away from a traditional western, which certainly gave the movie some camp and suggested to me that they knew what they were making and weren't taking themselves too seriously, which is always a plus in my book. The movie started off a bit slow trying to develop a few of the characters, probably a bit more than they needed to be. The movie also didn't lean nearly as far into the horror aspects as I thought it could have, I am guessing because they lacked the budget needed to pull off more gore effects than they did. The genre of western horror isn't exactly saturated with films, and while this is by no means a masterpiece, it is enough fun if you are someone that does want a new western horror to watch, especially if you also enjoy the campy nature of self aware, lower budget films. If you are going into this with high expectations, you will be disappointed. I doubt I watch it again, but I'm not mad that I did.
