I simply can't get enough of horror western films. The Pale Door is one I've been looking forward to seeing since I heard about it, especially after the success of recent western horror-themed films like Bone Tomahawk and The Wind.
Presented by Joe R. Landsdale, Writer of Bubba Ho-Tep and Cold in July, The Pale Door is a mixed bag of older western and Witch tropes, and sometimes feels a bit like a western spoof, and I'm not sure if that was intentional. The cast is fairly strong and there are some genre favorites along with some newer faces that bring the experience up to an entertaining level.
The Pale Door was directed by Aaron B. Koontz and is a low budget, gritty little ditty. The film is shot well for the most part, but there are a few set designs that could have been done better overall. If you are a fan of westerns, horror, and beautiful witches, then you should give this one a shot on when it drops Shudder or pick it up on Blu-ray or DVD, October 6, 2020.
The Pale Door Synopsis
The Dalton gang finds shelter in a seemingly uninhabited ghost town after a train robbery goes south. Seeking help for their wounded leader, they are surprised to stumble upon a welcoming brothel in the town’s square. But the beautiful women who greet them are actually a coven of witches with very sinister plans for the unsuspecting outlaws - and the battle between good and evil is just beginning.
Special features on the Blu-ray from RLJE Films include The Making of The Pale Door, Filmmaker commentary and editing of the film.
