In a town run by crooks, criminals, and miscreants, Anthony Michael Hall (yes, the 1980s teen star) leads a notorious gang of nogoodniks who take control of a gold mining town, each gang member posing a unique threat. There’s the arsonist, the thief, the murderer – every Western baddie is covered with this wild crew. Red Cavanaugh (Hall) remains the most charismatic of the bunch, and is the true villain that our anti-hero Guerrero guns for, but the hunt for each gang member provides that silly, B-Movie type fun, as one by one these criminals see their numbers dwindle, and the body count rise. The unrated, direct to video Dead In Tombstone gets a simultaneous Blu-ray and DVD release on October 22nd. The film revolves around a drifter and gang leader, Guerrero (Danny Trejo), who is betrayed and killed by his own gang. Once in hell, he makes a deal with the Devil (Michey Rourke) to bring him more souls. He is given a time limit, though, so it becomes a race against time for Guerrero. As a result, the film is fast-paced and exciting. There's plenty of shoot-outs, explosions, chase sequences and suspense to keep the adrenaline pumping. Please, Hollywood take notice. Stop this Immediately. It does not and never has been anything but annoying. But yet it is used again and again even in Mega-Budget Action Movies. Listen Up from Outside the Bubble. It is not energetic or adrenaline inducing, it is Nauseating. Danny Trejo’s portrayal of the betrayed gunslinger with a modicum of conscience—something that Satan tells him will be the undoing of the deal—may not be much of an acting stretch for Trejo, but he certainly knows how to deliver when it comes to portraying the resurrected killer. Trejo plays the bad ass with just enough tough and mean and empathy that the character is likeable and we desire to see him succeed in his quest to save his soul. Dina Meyer as Calathea Massey

Guerrero gets some help this time from Dr. Goldsworthy (Dean McDermott) who resurrects him when he gets killed by Boomer. Boomer joins forces with a local brothel owner named Madame Du Vere (Elizabeth Lavender). That alliance along with this woman's ability to "see the truth" feels a little out of left field. It just happened. Even more awkward was that this prostitute seemed to abruptly become the arch nemesis of Guerrero's daughter. She had a few bad things to say about Alicia but nothing suggesting they would punch it out in the end.

Dead in Tombstone: Other Editions

Danny Trejo is an acquired taste. Since being given cult status by the likes of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, fearless Danny has now earned headliner status in movies built around him. Good for Danny, he's paid his dues. That being said, even the iconic presence of Mr. Trejo can't save this direct-to-DVD supernatural western. Trejo has maybe five states of being and facial expression in his acting repertoire. but only two are utilized by the director of this spooky oater. Danny looks grim. Danny looks grimmer. That's all folks. Still he tries, but he's just not cut out for leading man status. Unrated Cut of the Film: The Blu-ray edition of Dead in Tombstone features two stabs at the film: a 100-minute unrated cut and a 100-minute R-rated cut. It's already a bit redundant to issue both a rated and unrated cut on a direct-to-video release, but with both being the same length, the differences amount to little. The unrated cut is even six seconds shorter. This movie is vastly underrated. Kilmer's performance as Doc Holliday is arguably the greatest interpretation of a real western character in the the history of western filmmaking. It's not to be missed. If you haven't seen the movie, watch it! Even if you're not a fan of the genre, this is as entertaining as a movie can be. It doesn't matter if this is not an accurate account of these real men and women. Just enjoy the ride. If the first film already seemed quite cheap and didn't bet so much on quality, this film is even worse and more miserable. They are both niche films, oriented to satisfy a certain part of the public that looks for raw action films, and not that elegant and classic cinema that almost everyone likes. However, I don't know if this was even able to satisfy the audience for which it was intended. Betrayed by his gang, shot to pieces and sent to Hell, infamous outlaw Guerrero de la Cruz strikes a deal with the Devil, a fallen angel eager to add a few more bloodthirsty villains to his collection. Rising from the grave, Cruz is granted a 24-hour window to hunt down his killers -- Snake (Edward Akrout), Darko (Ovidiu Niculescu), Baptiste (Emil Hostina), Ramos (Ronan Summers), Washington (Radu Micu) and their money grubbing, power hungry leader, Red Cavanaugh (Anthony Michael Hall) -- and condemn them to Lucifer's torture chambers, where they belong. But Guerrero's simple mission is complicated by a plot to to control a series of gold mines, the involvement of a corrupt businessman named Judah Clark (Colin Mace), and the emergence of Calathea Massey (Dina Meyer), the widow of a local sheriff (Daniel Lapaine) Red killed minutes before Cruz.

The acting is good all around, the music is good, the gun fights are well choreographed, but the cinematography is awesome and almost a work of art on their own. Kudos. Due to the nature of this film, Christians - especially - won't take kindly to the film, who might view it as blasphemous. If you can look past the blasphemy and controversy, though, you will be entertained - if this is your kind of film, of course. As for me, I absolutely loved it!! One should also appreciate the film for how well it is made. The director took great care in making a film that really looks good on screen - thanks to beautiful photography and amazing cinematography. The sequel is a bit weaker than the first film (not surprising, they usually are), and it really goes a bit too far with ignoring its own rules about Guerrero and his resurrections, as well as the fact that it doesn’t come anywhere NEAR Tombstone this time, but hey. I actually had some fun with it. Trejo plays his tough hardguy role to the T, while Busey hams it almost as much as his legendary father with the role of Boomer (just without some of the insanity that poor Gary is known for). Everyone else is pretty much DTV fodder and has the acting chops that mirror that genre. Foster, Tyler (October 13, 2013). "Dead in Tombstone [Unrated] (Blu-ray)". DVD Talk . Retrieved July 27, 2014. Directed (and photographed) with gusto by Roel Reine, "Dead in Tombstone" is a fair example of this brand of entertainment. It allows you to put your brain in neutral while delivering a lively smorgasbord of violence. Here is a movie in which bodies don't just fly through the air when pummelled by bullets, they do acrobatics before landing in a heap on the ground. It's fairly gory at times, but even in unrated form, it might not be nasty enough for some tastes. The whole thing looks quite grim and grimy, and features a true rogues' gallery of disagreeable characters.Director Roel Reine isn't exactly a great director. All of his feature films have never made it to the theater. All have been direct-to-video, including a couple of the 'Death Race' sequels and 'The Scorpion King 3'. Not exactly the cream of the crop. His problem is that he doesn't really know how to direct his actors as well as shoot any type of action scene that is thrilling or coherent. And with 'Dead in Tombstone', these are the aspects that make this would be fun-as-hell film fail. Dead in Tombstone is presented in 1080p HD in 1.78:1 widescreen. The detail is incredible at times - you can count the chest hairs on Anthony Michael Hall. There are some heavy shadows in this film and the Blu-ray displays the contrasts very nicely. The DTS-HD 5.1 audio is mixed nicely, with explosions booming outta the rear speakers. No complaints in the A/V department.

The Making of Dead in Tombstone (HD, 10 minutes): Go behind the scenes in this EPK-style production featurette, complete with interviews with key members of the cast and crew.

On the whole the script is pretty bland and unconvincing. It is more suitable for a TV-show episode than a feature movie. The Blu-ray contains nine deleted scenes, with the option to watch them as a montage. "The Making of Dead in Tombstone" is a 10-minute look behind the scenes that features lots of the cast and crew discussing their thoughts on each other and the film. There's nothing too insightful there. "Horses, Guns, and Explosions" is a brief look at the the stunts, including that massive explosion I was talking about. The work the horses put in on this film is incredible and it's great to get some behind the scenes insight on their training. Horses are stunt people too! The cinematography and photography are stunning! Later in the film there's also some really creepy sound effects. 'Dead in Tombstone' is essentially a vengeance film, but a very different kind of vengeance film, which was refreshing. It doesn't even come close to following the same pattern as other vengeance films.
