This shallow concept movie isn't really worth the time and energy required to watch it. I actually felt cheated; the title suggests the film might be hilariously bad. Unfortunately for me, there wasn't much in the way of hilarity about it! There are some truly awful performances - John Lupton as Jesse James may look the part, but the character is written as a hero and his portrayal is as bland as can be. Similarly, Narda Onyx appears to have been cast based solely on her looks and not her acting skills; she appears to struggle with the simplest of scenes.
I am aware that by this point, William Beaudine was a veteran director. However, it is difficult to tell whether he was attempting something earnest here or some cynical lampooning of Hollywood. Either way, his finished work is an abject failure as a medium of any kind of entertainment. It is also difficult to tell who exactly this movie is aimed at. It doesn't appear to offer anything credible for fans of either Westerns or Horrors.
I am surprised this movie actually made it to DVD in the first place. Someone, somewhere clearly loves this movie enough to justify it. That, I am afraid, is not this unhappy viewer.
