Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Deliberate_Stranger I had no real expectations about this movie. The title 'Cowboys and Zombies' says it all. I was pretty sure It's some kind of Asylum project but it turned out to be completely independent feature made for extremely little money(IMDb says 30k). Having no expectations I was pleasantly surprised. Sure It's not really a good movie but at least It's watchable. The only thing which makes it hard to watch is acting. Being a low budget movies fanatic I'm used to shitty acting but what we have here is beyond amateurish. Leading guy(can't say actor) is a joke, he's playing tough as nails bounty hunter but his voice sounds like 5 years old kid and he's laughable through whole movie. Nothing good can be said about the others(Indian, girl and German) but at least their voices aren't funny. So the acting sucks BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG time but when it comes to the other aspects It's way better. Special makeup/effects are very well done for a no budget movie. There is quite a lot of graphic gore which looks nasty, zombie make-up is quite good. Editing and cinematography is quite OK for a budget, there are some boobs as well. The other thing that looked amateurish were shootouts. They rather reminded western shows from theme parks than real movie shootouts. All in all, I had a decent time watching this even with an amateur actors ruining the show. OK to watch once for gory stuff and decent looking zombies.

dbfish66-457-773342 I have only watched half of this movie as of the time this review is being written.according to IMDb, this film was made with a budget of $30,000 (thirty thousand, not million) dollars.if that is correct- then FANTASTIC results for the money spent.I agree with most of the other reviewers: C-grade acting, D-grade script, but the film looks and sounds great.so again, good news: if you have $30K, and if you have a bunch of friends who want to work cheap, and if you are talented enough to tell a good story, then this movie will be an inspiration.... Hey, even Kevin Smith started with nothing.

Paul Magne Haakonsen Initially just by the DVD cover alone you know what kind of movies you will be in for when you pick up this movie. But still, being the zombie aficionado that I am, I just had to watch it regardless.The story in "The Dead and the Damned" or "Cowboys & Zombies" as it is titled on the DVD cover and in the actual movie, is some prospectors uncover what appears to be a meteor and brings it into town, attempts to crack it open and something green spews out. This green haze turns the prospectors into, yeah you guessed it, zombies! However, this puzzled me, because in a very short time the prospectors were quite decayed and decomposed, but still they remained their agility and ability to jump, run, sprint and do acrobatics.However, the movie actually have good production and good cinematography and that shines through the movie and actually makes it worth sitting through.The zombies, well I prefer shambling zombies that are unable of running and zombies that doesn't sound like marauding lions from the sound they make. That was a real bummer in the movie. The zombies also had that classic, low-budget-way-too-gray make-up on their faces, and for some reason their blood was green. And I just loved how the blood would spray up into the air whenever a zombie was shot, and then the blood simply just dissipated into thin air. That was just hilarious.Effects-wise, then "Cowboys & Zombies" wasn't actually too shabby. The zombies, aside from the lame sounds and the gray-skin, actually looked decent enough and the effects were alright. The setting of the movie was also quite good and believable, aside from the poor choice of music, which seemed really unsuitable for a horror western.I have sat through a lot of low-budget zombies movies in my time, and "Cowboys & Zombies" is actually on the better end of the scale of low-budget zombie movies. There are a lot of zombie movies out there far worse than this one.And what was up with the guy on the DVD cover? I don't believe I even saw him in the movie! Epic!Mixing cowboys/westerns and zombies have been done before. And in my personal opinion, it is not really the best of combinations. That period of time just doesn't work well with the living dead.

drama59 OK..did the director go to a Mall and say "Hey- Who wants to be in a movie?". I don't think anyone in the cast has ever acted before and if they did then I am sure someone must have said "Don't quit your day job". YIKES this is a bad movie. This movie is perfect for a 12 year old boy who wants to look at breasts. You get the really big ones to the small breasts.. (give me a break) The plot is dumb..the movie is slow..the actors are horrible...special effects aren't bad though. I paid $1.29 with my Red Box Rental and I am sure I paid $1.00 too much. This movie is MAYBE worth .29 cents....probably not.....I am a big fan of Zombie Movies..but WOW..NOT THIS ONE! The Chief was the only decent actor in the bunch. Was this suppose to be campy...well..maybe..but it did not work. HELLO Mr. Director..I would actually watch my movie before I released it. BAD BAD BAD......enough said.
