Kill or Be Killed (2016)

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Back in Texas, post Civil War, a group of outlaws lead by Claude "Sweet Tooth" Barbee (Justin Meeks) spring a gang member and have designs to grab hidden gold in Galveston, about 500 miles away. Upon going there, the gang numbers increase as they leave a trail of blood. The film is about their journey...and then suddenly they realize someone is hunting them.This was an interesting western using lines like, "put some space betwixt us." The opening credits had "Spaghetti Western" written all over it, but this was close to grindhouse with all the killing and blood. At times it seemed they were spoofing westerns. It does have some mild humor, and what the heck was that Dutch guy doing?I wasn't able to figure out the killing until they explained it. One character was named Tom Nixon (Larry Grant Harbin) but as far as I can tell it was not supposed to be real life outlaw Tom Nixon.The film is a blend of grindhouse and western and not a great film as a single genre, but entertaining if you try not to make it into something it is not. Doesn't require as much genre blending as "Gallowwalkers" to enjoy.The producers claim the film takes place in 1900. "The Eyes of Texas" which was performed in this feature, was written in 1903.Guide: No swearing. Brief sex, brief nudity.

Frankly, there is virtually nothing to recommend this film. They lost me almost immediately, when the showed what appears to be a coral snake in an arid region. The story line is marginal, The script is worse than that. The acting is awful.

I saw this without reading the reviews or watchin the trailer. The best part bout this movie is the scenery/cinematography n music. The direction was OK, with decent acting by all. Editin needed more attention. So many things not explained properly. The dialogues were good. Some good new words i came across. This movie cud hav been much better. Very few western genre movies were successful at blending horror n western together. Don't expect Bone tomahawk n The burrowers as these 2 were excellent flicks. Fans of horror films will recognise Michael Berryman, in the midst of all unfamiliar faces. The story was confusing with many flaws. Most of the kills were offscreen.

I have been waiting for this one for a while and it was worth the wait! I just found this on Redbox and watched it immediately. You gotta see this film out on video. From the guys who brought you, "The Wild Man of The Navidad," and "Butcher Boys," comes a new classic indie genre bender. I have loved everything Duane Graves and Justin Meeks have made since, "Wild Man" and I recommend this Horror film disguised as a Western complete with a 70's style soundtrack that gives it a bit of Tarantino flavor, while still being original. It has colorful characters, brutal action and gore, twists and turns, and generally keeps getting weirder as it goes on. You will not believe how it ends. I can't wait to see what these guys do next!
