Director: J.T. Petty

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0445939/

 The Dakota Territories. 1879. A handful of brave pioneers maintain isolated settlements in the badlands beyond civilization... OK stay with me kids it gets better... Fergus Coffey is getting closer to winning the hand of his sweetheart Maryanne when....wait for it....SHE IS SUDDENLY TAKEN FROM HIM!!
Plus to make it worse, Maryanne's family is brutally abducted in a nighttime attack on her homestead. So of course the suspicion falls upon the only thing possible of doing a crime like this..Indians. Now get ready for some fun and enter Will Parcher and John Clay. Experienced Indian Fighters (no joke)who
form a posse and set out to rescue the kidnapped settlers.. It must be noted that this is a movie which seems kinda lame at first but gets good fairly quick. So off go our hero's taking along an idiot teenager hoping to prove himself a man,
an ex-slave looking for his place, and their ranch hand Coffey.
BUT..... as men begin to vanish into the night, and some pretty gory evidence accumulates with the dead and the dying, the guys discover that their prey is far more terrifying than anything human, and their prospects are far more terrible than death...
 I really dug this flick. Yes it was kinda cheesy at times, but hey man it was a decent ORIGINAL horror movie. I think the only thing i would suggest to people is this....
Do not watch this movie if you had any sort of dental surgery.
I did and tripped out on it. I kept checking the mounds of dirt
my dog was digging at just to be safe....
overall rating * * * 1/2
