Winterhawk

This movie was actually really good. A good amount of suspense, drama, horror, sadness, friendship and good twist ending. Honestly the ending had me surprised but it just goes to show what power paternal instinct can do. Definitely a western worth watching even if you don't like them.

Story was good also. I would rate it higher but some of the acting was sub par at times. And they could of used a actual Native American for the lead instead of an Italian actor. Still worth watching though.

I saw it years ago when I was a graduate student. The scenery was magnificent, and the theme song stuck in my head. It gave much better acknowledgement of the plight of the Indian. Worth seeing

I had to watch this, thing (thats a good name for it) at school. It was just plan bad. To keep me from falling a sleep during this movie, I was making jokes just like on Mystery Science Theater 3000, to myself. Even the teacher agreed with us that is was a very bad movie. The only thing good about this movie is the ending credits. The reason is because it was the end of this awful movie. I think MST3k could have some fun with this movie. Could Charles B. Pierce be the next Ed Woods, or even the next Rick Sloane (Hobgoblins)? That is a good chance. In my opinion, DON'T SEE IT!

I never finished this picture so this may not be a completely fair evaluation. Seen on AMC it was introduced as a film made in the spirit of Tarentino and others like him where the film maker found his own extras and essentially financed it on a very limited budget. I watched only a half hour and kept dozing off. The actors mostly acted like they had never acted before. No emotion, no realism to what they did or said. And the score! I got so tired of hearing bass voices droning "Winterhawke" in the background that I had to mute it several times. Maybe it picks up further along and gets better. The lead lady was decent in her acting as was her little brother. Who knows, I don't expect to ever go back and find out. 1.5 stars out of 4

From the opening credits when the hero is riding across the plains, i knew this was going to be bad. His horse keeps stumbling. As the camera pulls back, you realize that the horse is running across a plowed field. In the background are the clear cuts with power lines running over the mountains. Worse, under the horse blanket is a saddle. It goes downhill from there. Historically, there is little that is true about the story. It is true that smallpox epidemics killed many of them in two different outbreaks (1781 and 1837). When the buffalo disappeared in 1880's it pretty much wiped them out. They were originally from the Great Lakes region, and traditionally hunted and gathered in the plains and not mountains. Anyway, this is a film that should be soon forgotten.

I think that Winterhawk is wonderful movie for all ages, I have just one request, I have been searching for the Original Version of this movie for a long time, there have been some recent re-mastered version of Winterhawk, but somehow the original music score was replaced my a haunting and boring piano music, which I don't like. I'm looking to purchase this movie if I can locate the original version, please help me I would most greatly appreciate it, my family used to own the original one, but we somehow manage to lose it somewhere, and one of the network I thinks it is American Movie Classic, used to air the original version during the winter months, and always watch it when it was aired, I never get tired of watching it over and over again, the same with the other classic movie which is GrayEagle.
