I watched this on Fawsome and it was one of the most low-effort looking things I have ever seen. Chris Sanders' Big Cats is beyond disappointing and the budget didn't look like it went anywhere. The money was from the people who spent their earnings by playing the people on Ichibod's laptop, talking about some boring stories about this encounters with the sighting of a big cat... that's it. It goes on for ages and it's the worst part of the movie. The latter part is more interesting but not by a long shot. This isn't a horror so don't expect anything like jump scares or a beast kind of feature. It's not.

Tons of micro-budget westerns flood the DTV space yearly, most best left unseen, but sometimes worthwhile fare emerges. The itch for more horror-westerns led me to Night of the Tommyknockers. Not good but not a disaster; it's under 90 minutes and doesn't shy away from monster gore once the bandits-vs-lawmen first half leaves its outlaws in a gold-rush ghost town besieged by gnarled Descent rejects.

If you can accept the meager production values this kind of film must scrounge up today, then this is an overly-talky obviously-cheap yet still enjoyable creature feature. Just mind the acting; although even that in regard, the actual character dynamics were fun in spite of the bad-to-average performances but I got to grade on a curve considering how rare horror-westerns are, let alone ones as relatively focused and action-filled as this.

Such a huge inspiration! The rise and fall of a true warrior. Heart of a Lion, directed by Andy Blithe and starring Aaron Sharp captures a wrestler's passions and sorrows into life and the chaos around it. It cleverly and bravely dwells into the subject matter of mental illness and men's downfall into that career pattern. It's a great movie that doesn't fail to disappoint and such a great story. I wish Aaron all the best. He's a great guy and I hope he has a promising future ahead of him. He's also a terrific actor and does a wide range of performances, not just in the wrestling community. Worth a watch!
