Review & Description
Writer-director Wayne Coe's low-budget anthology is not as scary as its title or packaging would have you believe, but it is a charming effort nonetheless. Brad Dourif and James Earl Jones star as a city slicker and a bounty hunter who meet at night on a quiet prairie and end up swapping stories by the campfire. Since the four tales are part of a slowly building competition between the two men, they become progressively more gruesome. The two most memorable revolve around a grotesque gunfight and its aftermath, and a wandering prairie woman with a bizarre appetite. Ultimately the stories are mood pieces rather than outright scare fare, but they are absorbing, and the connecting scenes with Dourif and Jones are so energetically played out that you forget how calculated some of their exchanges are. --Bryan Reesman Read more
