Plot:
When masked men burst into the Silva family’s cabin in the Old West, gunning them all down as they sit at their dinner table, their daughter Regina (Jessica Y. Martin) is the only survivor of the grisly attack. Learning how to handle a gun, Regina hits the trail to seek justice.
When she takes a job at a local bordello where one of the young women has recently been brutally murdered, she realises they are seeking the same man, Pete Chalmers. The town is run by Pete’s father, and the local sheriff and town leaders are not only refusing to help but are protecting him. Along with the madam, Victoria (Sandy Penny), and the other ladies of the house, Cora (Michelle Nuquay) and Ekta (Elizabeth Selby), take revenge…
Reviews:
“Oh, Jessica Y. Martin and Sandy Penny attack their roles with gusto. But even they can’t muster enough gusto to rescue this low-budget affair. Problems include poorly-staged action scenes. […] But the biggest drawbacks are a complete lack of pizzazz and one of the most lame group of villains ever assembled for a Western.” Once Upon a Time in a Western [click the link to read full review]
