Reaction: With its poor showing in foreign theaters, this one narrowly avoided losses thanks to decent domestic box office. Writer Rene Menzie has now made a profit on each of their first three films.


"Despite an abundance of backstory for some of the characters, I still felt like they were developed in a way that did not make us care for any of them. This film was clearly expecting some big payoff with its twist, but it was visible a mile away. The Only Good Indians had a nice vibe to it, but the story didn't keep up." - Virgil Orbison, Odessa American




"Writer Rene Menzie and director Jeff Barnaby don't always do a very good job of explaining its story or developing its characters, but the film is filled with intriguing and spooky imagery that should please most horror fans. With some better editing, this one could been great instead of settling for pretty good." - Charlie Marko, Yorktown News



"This film is a journey. At times I felt it difficult to watch, but in the end I loved it. Sure a bit confusing in places and it could be tidied up, but overall I loved this film. The performance of Amber Midthunder was amazing, her ability to act in a nice manner as Shaney but change at the drop of a hat to the elk headed woman was amazing. She was the standout for me. Again not a perfect film but one I definitely enjoyed. Plus I like that more films about Native Americans are coming to LRF." - Arthur Watson, The Daily Telegraph





Rated R for graphic bloody violence, disturbing images and some language
