It's always exciting when I get a screener from The Mahal brothers for a review. Yeah it's a honor and thrill. When I saw it was "Night of the Tommyknockers" I was beyond excited.
One of my favorite directors Michael Su of the genre,takes the helm. After seeing him do such a great job with "Death Count" I couldn't wait to get this going.
This is the old west like you never saw before. You have the good guys, the bad guys and ancient monsters in the mix. It opens up with a group of miners blasting in mines searching for gold. One of the miners respecting legends with Irish descent tells of the leprechauns and there gold then speak of the legendary Tommyknockers. He claims this blasting will release the monsters and take back there gold if stolen from them. Not fearing these creatures the miners are blinded by the gold but soon violently meet there deaths and release these creatures. The little town of Deer Creek, Nevada are terrorized by not only these creatures but also a fleeing gang are set in robbing the town bank. We also have legendary Tom Sizemore play Marshall Steed, thrown in to make things even more exciting.
Beautifully directed from a very well Written story. The movie grasps you by the neck from the claustrophobic opening and excellent set up to an explosive satisfying end.
The pairing up of Bj Mezek and Jessica Morris is really great casting. They really worked off each other and made a great team of all the craziness. They were so fun and believable would love to see there saga continue.
But not to be forgotten and equally paired on the other side of the law is Richard Grieco and Angela Cole. Angela Cole is a little firecracker and can have sale her own among the ruthless robbers led by Grieco. Along with Robert Lasardo as a character named Lucky. Once again his craziness scores big fun. Greed and double crossing are often disturbed by our creepy creatures from hell. With the three main storylines set up we just can't help but sit back and turn up the sound and enjoy a well made fun western/Horror. You never actually know what path this movie will take and she ends you want more. The creatures are truly horrifying and the make up and whole set up of the Tommyknockers are horrorific.
Now let's not forget this is a horror movie and you will not be disappointed with the good ole fashioned splatter effects and even an intestine ripping scene. Great job to Vincent Guastini and his team of magic makers. We have a good ole fashion monster movie with great looking creatures.
All this is made even more magical by great music by Scott Glasgow. His score completed this movie.
Another win from The Mahal Empire and totally recommend.
