Decent zombie flick.

It certainly gets the most out of it's low budget. The setting and the actors do a competent job. The special effects are a nice balance of prosthetics and CGI effects. But I expected more variety in the weaponry used to dispatch the zombies. 95% of the kills are from the same revolver. I was hoping to see action from tomahawks, rifles, shotguns, bowie knives, and maybe even a gatling gun. But I would definitely have to shave some points off for the sudden and random ending. Overall, I would give the movie a 6/10.

I agree man, it was a decent little zombie flick. I enjoyed it. The main actor looks like Tom Cruise as well. I thought that was funny.

When in doubt blame, BoogerBoyMeister!

I don't know what you two were smoking when you watched this movie but it was pretty bad. Not even close to the worst zombie movie I've ever seen but still bad. I mean come on "we'll be safe in the saloon because the windows are boarded up, nevermind the big swinging doors"

I love some of these bad low budget movies. I paid $5 for it, so I'm not going to complain. I got my moneys worth. I will admit though, the dvd cover is misleading.

The movie certainly has it's faults, but it's characters aren't quite as dumb as those on the show "The Walking Dead".

What? decent? this movie SUCKS! Come on, I've see worse, yes, but that doesn't mean this is worth watching. Let's start from the tile-Cowboys and Zombies? Nothing with such title can be good. After that, the pathetic attempt from the makers to include a romantic part with the fates of the cowboy and the Indian made me laugh a lot. It give something to the film, but if they thought this would make the plot seem deeper, they made a big mistake. Tits were okay, but this is a cheap trick for more audience. Zombies were stupid, not scary, and didn't act like zombies, infecting others, but only killed them, so they are not even zombies, but mutants. The acting was pretty bad, only the main actor did something, and for what? The end was terrible. I was going to give this film rating of 4 or 5q but the ending ruined it completely, so even 2 is by mercy! Go and watch The Dead(2010) for example, to see a decent B-movie zombie flick ;)

Best thing bout this movie is the zombie movements, they really steal the show. Especially the one in the saloon that crawls out of the cellar, only seen one zombie move better that could be described as best zombie-walk ever.
The "asian" zombie in the school in Walking Dead on the stairs chase.
