DEADLY WESTERN

Cinemavixion Review

Gregory Hatanaka's "Deadly Western" plunges viewers into a dusty frontier town where Sheriff Eric Michaelian finds himself confronting a notorious gang. However, the true peril lies not just in the outlaws, but in a deeply buried town secret that threatens to unravel the very fabric of his existence. With a runtime of 64 minutes, this 2023 release, co-directed by Geno McGahee, offers a compact yet potentially impactful narrative. While the film garnered a modest 4.4 rating on IMDb, its strength may lie in its focused exploration of secrets and their corrosive effect on a seemingly simple Western setting. The performances by Lorrie Bacon and Sharon Marr are also central to the unfolding drama. "Deadly Western" is a film that promises a tense showdown, not just with guns, but with the ghosts of the past.
