I very much wanted to like this western from Hollywood outsiders Daily Wire and Gina Carano.
Unfortunately, the plot is irritatingly dumb. Every decision made by each and every character in Terror on the Prairie only makes sense if everyone in the film is an idiot.
It's frustrating and laughable, and you'll spend much of the runtime shouting at your screen: "Shoot him, you idiot!" Spoilers: She doesn't.
There is a simple enough story of Western style vengeance running underneath everything and driving the main action, but as it slowly unfolds we can hardly muster any will to care about it. A character will be dutifully reciting his requisite backstory, while all we can think is: "Someone should have shot you a long time ago."
I will continue to support Daily Wire and Carano in all their endeavors, but this is a terrible film.
