Mediocre story, cool creatures. Medicool flick.
A western horror movie with creatures? Yeah, that’s really all you need to know if you want to see this or not. Hey, you may not like it, but at the same time you may love it. I’m in the middle ground.Story revolves around a rescue mission of sorts. The native Americans are blamed and that’s where the rescue team is headed. Well, during the pursuit, people are mysteriously disappearing during the night. And what the hell are those weird holes in the ground? And why is the young girl they found not reacting to anything? Find out this and more in The Burrowers.
Like I said before, creatures in a western horror movie. That should be enough for you to make up your mind. If it’s not enough, I can say that the creatures are pretty cool and the idea behind them is pretty original. But, you don’t see them very often, and when you do, occasionally, they’re in CGI form, but not always. And when not in CGI form, they look pretty sweet. My biggest gripe with the flick is….anything non-creature related. I just didn’t give a damn about any of the rescue mission or the social-commentary or anything. Call me immature, call me a dumby, but hey, I like me some creatures, and these were pretty cool creatures, so it really grabbed all of my attention.
The Burrowers was a pretty slick lookin flick, with nice shots of rugged New Mexico, decent music, cool creatures (have I mentioned that??), a gaggle of carefree characters (especially Doug Hutchinson) and a pretty weak ending. The flick is a pretty mixed bag. It’s a pretty solid rental, that you may just end up really enjoying. Or not.
If Deadwood, Tremors, and Night of the Living Dead had sex, this would be their bastard child!
A surprisingly good film for the horror genre. It’s not a truly outstanding film, but it is a fine flick to rent and sip some beers and eat some popcorn while watching. The acting is pretty good in this film save for Doug Hutchison who’s a bit over-the-top in his portrayal of the racist army captain. Racial undertones are presented throughout this movie: how whites treat Indians, blacks, and even certain white ethnic groups.This movie is really more of Western that happens to have some horror elements thrown in. Go into it expecting to watch a “cowboys and Indians” film and I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Most of the violence in this film is man against man rather than man against monster. The “burrowers” themselves are a bit disappointing once revealed, mostly because of the poor CGI. The final battle is not as satisfying as I thought it would be, but the extremely dark and depressing ending was well done. This film is much better than most straight to DVD releases.
