Haha, cool I'm glad I'm not the only one that liked it. I agree about the language thing. It was cool to watch the one guy that could speak Indian constantly lie about what was said to save his own ass...

I did like that part and I'm sure it was probably pretty realistic to the times. Though I'm sure back then they weren't conversing about Burrowers. :p

I saw it. It's good... I liked it a lot. Didn't think it was boring at all. Maybe I'm just used to older/slower movies in general, but the pacing didn't bother me. Definitely one of the better monster movies out there, and I'm a big fan of those.

The old west is a great setting for horror movies. Or even the modern west - in movies like Hills Have Eyes for example.

Sounds like a fun flick.

Big fan of movies like Tremors so I ll definitely check this out. I hope its not like Unearthed though...thats one which promised so much through the trailers and turned out to be a really shitty disappointment.

The old west is an awesome setting for horror stories, if I might be so bold. My first graphic novel is a western/horror combination, called STRANGEWAYS: MURDER MOON. You can read the first chapter right here. Something about being out on the frontier between civilization and wilderness makes the old west a natural fit.

And if I might be so bold, I can recommend the second STRANGEWAYS book, since you can read it for the cost of precisely free. Just head over here. There's even a weekly contest to win a copy of the first book; this week's is running until tonight at midnight.

BURROWERS sounds worth a look at least, just for trying something new and not simply treading the same old ground. But I'm so behind on my netflixing that even if I dig in, I probably won't get a chance to watch it until...uh...Christmas...

If the horror/western combination seems intriguing at all, I'd recommend RAVENOUS, which, while not strictly old west, has a historical setting and a really wicked sense of humor to boot.
