Okay so Dustin Rikert has a credit for both Writer and Director of this overly acted film. Oh and did I mention he also has a bit part in the movie with two of his brothers? Ghost Rock is noted as an Action, Drama, Western film but I think it would be more appropriate under the film genre Family Home Movie because it was so staged that I really thought the film was put together by a teenager without a single bit of editing.
Western movies have been made for almost the past 100 years with actors like Randolph Scott, Audie Murphy, John Wayne, James Stewart, James Arness, and even Clint Eastwood making a great living from them. But I will say this for Ghost Rock, if you were to place the aforementioned lot of western stars in Ghost Rock, even they could not save the film from being a total dud.
So I won't blame this films poor review on Gary Busey, Jeff Fahey or Adrienne Barbeau who for some reason agreed to make this film. I can only surmise that they got paid a ton of money for a week or two of shooting the film with no time or opportunity for re-shooting any of the scenes that did not quite work out the first time around. In this film's case, I think they would have had to re-shoot the entire movie with a more realistic script that was true to the western genre and not a mix of David Carradine's 1970's TV series Kung Fu combined with Charles Bronson's Death Wish series.
Stay away from Ghost Rock.
