Promise...You Will Never Make Another Movie!
29 July 2019
It is hard to fathom how horrendous movies like this ever get made, not to mention ever see the light of day. There is so much wrong with this movie, I'm not sure where to begin. Here are a few highlights.

The worst action sequences ever. Fights are spliced together, never showing any actual punches or gunshots, just the final results (like the man who is shot and strawberry jam is shown splattering on the wall).

Dialog? What dialog? Samples; a mother discovers her pregnant daughter tied up and her response? 'Oh, dear!' When the heroine yells at the cult leader 'You're all full of s**t!' his reply is 'I do enjoy rebellious city women.'

Laughable costuming. The women wear rejects from 'Little House On The Prairie' and the sheriff wears an outfit about 3 sizes too big.

With a cast who have absolutely no acting talent and no believability, including a wimpy hero who survives 3 gunshots and singlehandedly kills multiple heavily armed cult-members, this film could have been a high school audiovisual project that was given a failing grade.

To those responsible for this mess, promise you'll never make another movie again!
