The movie centers around a young soldier who, after the Mexican-American war, gets sent to California to add some extra man power to an already awkward set of keepers of a Fort. The fort is soon visited by a man who claims to of been part of a band of settlers traveling through to Sierras when they got lost and after exhausting all food rations resorted to cannibalism. However, there is more to the strangers story and the small group are soon picked off by something that craves human flesh.
This film, is not close to being scary. Entertaining in a way, but not scary. The opening credits give the feeling of a comedy instead of a bloody thriller. Than when introducing the characters, again, feels kind of like a comedy. Ten it goes all serious with the cannibalism, power hungry villains, and blood splatter.
The acting was decent, the story was doable, the characters that mattered were fine. But the camera shots, the music, the tone. It just felt out of place. I'm not even sure if ti even knew what it was. Its one of those movies that you watch when you just don't have a clue what you want to watch. Its really good background noise really. I just can't get over that sweater Guy Pearce was wearing. I swear I had seen it in a mall at one time. I should go to the mall, find that sweater, and tell people if you wear this cannibals will come and eat you.
