It's hard to believe these filmmakers did this short in just two days. Incredible. To write, shoot, edit, score and not only that, but to have selected "musical" of all things in the 48 hr film competition. Even the graphics were well done.
I especially like the use of the camera. The jib shots were well done and motivated, not just thrown in there because, well, they had a jib to use. The songs were funny and memorable.
I've seen some of Par-T-Com's other work and it's equally as good. These guys (and girls) really know how to tell a story. Working on practically zero budgets, they make good films by being creative and resourceful. Young filmmakers could learn a lot from this team.
I hope you all continue to make movies. You rock!

I wasn't sure if I was going to like this film going in. I'm not a huge fan of westerns and don't know that I've ever seen an indie western. But after watching I was pleasantly surprised. A fan of the "bad guy" I really enjoyed the performances of Paul Ricioppo as "Sonny" and especially Terry Jernigan as "the Barber". I thought it was clever having modern day cowboys carrying six shooters and speaking straight out of the 1800's while driving Mustangs and having showdowns in the alley behind a 70's disco club. Makes you wonder, what if justice today was like the Old West. Maybe you challenge the guy to takes too many items through the express lane at Wal-Mart to an old fashioned duel.
This indie was pretty good for a straight-to-DVD movie that are usually reserved for horror films starring an actor no one really cares to see anymore. Instead, there were some refreshing new faces (Sean Doherty and DJ Perry) in a well crafted film. It didn't have to hide its lack of budget in dark shadows or flash gratuitous nudity to get people to say, "well at least that chick got nekkid".
Listen, the story won't blow you away so don't try comparing it to Tombstone or summer blockbusters and yes I think it could have been even better, but it does provide some laughs, a little action and some interesting characters in a movie that is a much needed change from the typical straight-to-DVD garbage that even Hollywood is putting out.

I really enjoyed this movie. It has that dark, gritty feel of cult horror films combined with some nice performances from Harley Kaplan, Jennifer Zonakis and the rest of the cast. If you like the campy, cult horror flick, you'll like this one.
