Dead West - or The Rise of the Horror Genre and the Fall of the Western. The story of a western movie actor (Johnny Dust) still trying to make it big in a western film studio and theme park, when a 'new management team' takes over the park and turns the film studio into a fright-fest for the month of Halloween. Haunted by the image of his dead western movie hero, who appears to him on the little screen, Johnny unravels the real intent of management and its opening night 'spectacular', which takes place in the depths of the park's cave.

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
stujoe-88733 Im just saying now it should be called movie star vs vampires cuz the guy is literaly an cowboy for movies also if u want to see him fight the vampires skip to the end cuz the whole movie is just a borefest for your information.
Michael Ledo Shadroch (Michael Sharpe) is a death collector in what appears to be an anachronistic western society. He survived the nuclear holocaust by making a deal with the devil. At the Wail of the Banshee saloon, in the town of Celestial, he waits for the man he is ordered to take. When he refuses, hordes of zombies are released upon the town.I haven't seen a really good western zombie film to date. This one is no exception. The film has a lot of scenes where guys with dirty faces talk tough. There were plenty of zombies, but nothing overly special. At one point he is on top of a vehicle shooting at the zombies below trying to get up. His shots seemed useless as the director couldn't co-ordinate the gun fire with someone falling down.This one doesn't past the smell test.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.
anonymous2 anonymous The movie is centered in a town, once used to shoot westerns in, and now western shows are staged in it. Additionally, we follow the hero Johnny Dust doing an interview in a studio, and flashbacks from a movie he played in, with his hero and role model. Besides that, we see him having trouble with his ex-wife, and there is also his daughter, who thinks he is really cool. And there's a big bad conglomerate, that wants to raise the number of dwindling visitors by staging a ghost show during Halloween. The story contains story in story in story, which in itself is an interesting feat. But to do that well, you must have good a script, a good director and good editing. Good actors also help. As all are flawed, it just makes no sense now. The actors presumingly play bad as characters in the show, but unfortunately, they play equally bad in what supposedly is real life. The show stunts are blatantly fake, which is OK in itself, but here too, the "real" action is fake as well. Spectators of the show don't have clue what is real and what isn't. But we do neither. On top of that, a lot of things are not thought through: with a line in front of the ticket office, how much time would people take to chat with the ticket lady? Or, much time would they given by the people waiting in the cue? Would 6-year olds be allowed in a mine, designed as a ghost house? At least one little girl is in tears, one boy gets hurt: I can only imagine the lawsuits.... Even reading about this movie is a waste of time: I am really being kind giving it 2 stars. And that is mainly because of Gloria Valenzuela (actress Angélica Celaya). She is a convincing vampire, worthy of better than this.
alexpoy98 rarely i've seen such bad movies total waste of time, poor acting, poor script, poor director , in fact its plain garbage. what is more disturbing, is that in times of crisys , someone spends money on such way less than mediocre movies, just because the vampire genre is " popular" i guess if someone made movies with cowboys and aliens, with ninjas and aliens , with vampires and aliens.. why not a cowboys and vampires too? well , the answer is BECAUSE THEY SUCK if you do decide to go see this "masterpiece" be prepared to sleep, have serious brain damage , bite the neck of the one that recommended you this movie or just regret the time and money spent for less than nothing
