Don't waste your time with this one. The movie is about an hour old (it's only 1 hour 20 minutes total) before you even see the "beast", then you wish you'd hadn't. I've seen better SFX on old Gumby reruns which is terrible considering that even the original King Kong had better SFX more than 20 years earlier. The first thing that you wonder is if there's a beast at all because the story centers around a feud between 2 cattle barons and a woman. After about 40 minutes there's finally something to show that there's actually a creature in the movie but it's not until the last 20 minutes before you finally get to the point. As a western, this film could have been a decent B film. As it is though, 'nuff said. The filmmaker should have used the money to finance better effects but chose to use it on color and Panoramic widescreen. Rather than bother with this film at all, watch Valley of the Gwangi instead.
