7/10
Decent folky adventure in American wilderness
21 November 2020
It was good to see Chief Dan George again after his amusing performance in Little Big Man. I remembered Jan-Michael Vincent from xtro 2 and felt like I had seen Marilyn Hassett before but after going through her imdb profile I couldn't put my finger on where. All in all, a fun cast and good movie.

Shadow had that daytime tv movie vibe going all the way through it with a nice 70's score. Some of that old zoomy directing style and a nice special effect where a car crashes into an invisible wall. Pretty neat.

The movie progresses at a pace that is typical for its vintage. Starting off with the group establishing itself in the city in a kind of haphazard way then a car trip out of town where the forces of evil let themselves known by driving around in an old Dodge Mayfair with black tinted windows, creepy af. Being a horror movie buff I can easily appreciate the effort here. Then we get to a bit of action with some old school reservation fights between the forces of good and bad. I had to laugh at the person dressed up in a bear costume but its all good.

Needless to say, an enjoyable movie without much in the way of excessive violence or gore. I can't even remember any blood actually. Watchable anytime and pretty much with anyone. Better than expected.
