Just in time for the release of Cowboys V’s Aliens, Left Films has released the similarly tilted Cowboys and Zombies.

Set in Jamestown, California in 1849, meteorite strike has released terrible evil alien spores in the atmosphere; these spores will turn whoever they come into contact with into zombie mutant type creatures.

Hot on the trail of a brutal rapist, our whiny voiced hero Mortimer, a rather in effectual bounty hunter comes to town. As is want to happen in these sorts of movies our hero is soon forced into a pact with a rival bounty hunter to fend off the attacks of the zombies.

This sort of movies lives and dies on the action sequences and the scare factor. I’m sad to say that the scares are few are far between, however the action sequences are done with some neat touches.

The effects are both rewarding and frustrating at the same time, some of the prosthetic's are extremely good based on the budget limitations, but some of the CGI is laughable.

The majority of the acting is pretty damn poor, especially from David A. Lockhart as Mortimer, this is a woeful piece of miscasting. However despite all of these flaws the film does have a great six pack Friday night feel to it, this is probably due to the rather large amount of bouncing lady parts on display here.
