I purchase the books, comics, and movies that I recommend and review and I do not accept free copies for review.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Gallowwalkers (2012) is a slow-paced but spellbinding horror western. Reminiscent of the Spaghetti Westerns, it has creepy characters, including the solemn, rugged antihero. Aman (Wesley Snipes) has a dismal past, having known loss, sorrow and violence from his youngest days. He&#8217;s out for revenge against a villain whose only redeeming quality is his love for his son&#8211;if a man like Kansa (Kevin Howarth) can love at all. As villains go, he&#8217;s brutal but at the same time horribly fascinating. At first the storyline seems a bit confusing, but as the movie unfolds, everything makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>The movie has some great secondary characters. The self-sufficient mistress of the slaughterhouse (Jenny Gago) is the kind of female character that&#8217;s great to see. The young gunslinger, Fabulos (Riley Smith), works well as Aman&#8217;s sidekick and a hypnotic-eyed outlaw Hool (Hector Hank) is an attention grabber (wish he had more screen time).<\/p>\n<p>Gallowwalkers is visually appealing, even with the splashes of gore. It seamlessly combines an alternate old west with a demonic fantasy setting. The movie has zombies, but they&#8217;re the thinking kind and strangely attractive.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d recommend Gallowwalkers for anyone looking for something unusual. It&#8217;s slow paced, but it stays with you and calls you back for more.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about Gallowwalkers at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0829176\/?ref_=nv_sr_2\">IMDb<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-share-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" data-via=\"compbeastsblog\">Tweet<\/a><br \/>\n<script>\/\/ <![CDATA[ !function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=\/^http:\/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+':\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs'); \/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reviews and recommendations on the Compelling Beasts blog are my honest opinion.
