I went into this thinking it was going to be a horror flick.
But it can be more aptly described as a low budget western thriller.
There isn't really a main character in the film.
Rather, the plot centers around a string of incidents, through which three groups of people collide - a family of settlers travelling along the Oregon Trail; a gang of violent raiders, who prey on such travelers; and a couple of black homesteaders, who just so happen to have settled in the area.
The gang uses a woman they have captured as bait, to lure benevolent settlers to their death (by their hands).
After which they raid their wagons for goods and women.
The gang consists of a leader, a sociopath, a follower, and a good man trapped in a bad situation.
And, when they murder the family we are introduced to, they end up taking their daughter prisoner.
However, she ends up escaping.
After which she is taken in by the black couple.
Only to steal their horse, so as to return to the scene of the crime, so that she can bury her family.
Not knowing the gang has sent their woman to track her; while the sociopath tracks her (because she is taking too long)- just as the black homesteader sets out to get his beloved horse back.
Inevitably leading their paths to cross...in what will turn out to be an incredibly violent turn of events.
The acting is actually quite decent across the board.
And the scenery is quite stunning.
Unfortunately, the plot relies on some extremely implausible events to drive itself forward.
With a couple instances of really poor CGI effects.
On top of that...the climax is rather underwhelming...culminating with an all too abrupt ending.
Which doesn't leave you satisfied.
But it's not a bad little film.
And is entirely watchable.
With some effectively disturbing moments.
Even if it doesn't quite live up to other films based on extreme ultraviolence.
I don't really get the title, though.
Because it never has anything to do with organs.
4 out of 10.
