The Burrowers

Western Ghost/ Monster Movie

The Burrowers by Jt Petty is not a new discovery he came to midnight madness back in o6 with s&m.
Another western was also intro deuced to the midnight madness crowd do u remember Takashi Miike film SUKIYAKI WESTERN DJANGO si-fi ,blood lust and greed. If not I do anyway THE BURROWERS have scary sounding creatures and visually scarry ones too.

This was the first film which gave me legit feelings of freight. I jumped every time the sound of the burrow creatures were moving and actually screamed at the first kill...

The description in the book claims to be a terror take on John fords the searchers but the political message intended or not intended reminded me of the original George Romero night of the living dead where of course the black man would survive the zombies and be killed by the racist town police.

So when the only first nation or Indian tribe that can give everyone the secret to kill the burrower creatures they too with the black guy played by sean Patrick Thomas is killed by the sadistic northern or southern who cares army man in the end .

No one survives racism or the burrowers you are left wanting more....
