Revelation Trail (2014)

Good start, but then it gets ruined

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Per my Summary line above, Revelation Trail is a surprisingly good zombie flick that managed to do a ton of good things with a skim working budget. The acting was solid, honest, heart-felt... especially the lead character (Preacher) and his law man co-star. The camera work was realistic and solid. The effects were much, much better than expected. If we as film lovers are lucky, perhaps Rev Trail has fathered a new genre of zombie horror. When you mix two historically-significant genres into one film, the end result is not always great. However, this movie certainly provided a fresh take on a genre that is starting to become a bit redundant. 2 thumbs up, 8 stars!

This movie turned out wonderfully and has a great story to drive it. You can tell that this film was made with hard work and lots of love. Everyone in it did a fantastic job and is a great example of what independent film can accomplish. It was filmed in Western Kentucky and Southern Illinois primarily. The Two main characters interacted brilliantly and the dialog between them felt genuine. Very good action sequences!!! The Makeup and special effects are top notch and rank up there with The Walking Dead. Lots of detail went into this movie and it shows in the locations and wardrobe. You owe it to yourself to watch this movie. Hope to see more from Director John Gibson.

This is not your typical run of the mill zombie film. Revelation Trail takes place in the 1800's old west. The cast do an exceptional job at relaying the story and are very believable. The story is very well written and gives us a good idea of what it would have been like had there been a zombie Apocalypse in the old west. One very impressive fact about Revelation Trail is that it is a truly independent film and in my opinion rises high above what you would normally expect from your average B budgeted film. The final scene in Revelation Trail left me wanting more(in a good way)! I cannot wait to own a copy of this cinematic masterpiece!

The story itself was well thought out. Following Preacher through this grim world was interesting as I watched him trying to cope with what was going on around him. As he went on with a Sheriff as his one companion, their interactions outside of dealing with the undead were quite amusing. The special effects department did a fantastic job of making me believe that this world was very much real. There was an interesting twist towards the end which left me wanting to know more about why the world became the way it was. I'm really looking forward to seeing another film created about Preacher and the West. All in all, a great film that is definitely a must-see for anyone who is even remotely interested in zombie films. Or westerns.
