I was just thinking the other day that it had been a while since I’d reviewed a western and then along comes Blood in Them Hills a tale of outlaws stolen gold, hostile Apaches and a Wendigo.

In a cabin outside of town a badly injured man begins to act strangely as his daughter pulls a tooth out of his infected shoulder. In the midst of this Apaches attack the cabin and he announces “I’m awake!” before attacking his family.

Back in town the Christmas festivities are taking a dark turn as a mob surrounds the jail looking to lynch one of the prisoners Mack for allegedly killing one of the townsfolk. Far from being afraid, he talks tough as the doctor stitches him up.

With the AFM heading to Las Vegas, a group of indie filmmakers are aiming to launch a “new film market and entertainment industry convention” in LA this October.

Organizers say The American Film Convention (AFC) will take place October 15-17, 2024 at Magic Box in Downtown Los Angeles.

CEO and founder Mitesh Patel, a grassroots independent filmmaker and producer, says the event will incorporate a “market, auction, conference, product and service showcase, workshop, talks and addresses, pitch fest, networking event, and filmed and live entertainment.”

The American film has relied on well-known actors like Heather Wake, George Nelson, Russell Clay, and others for a proper execution of the movie, which they have done justice to. We are yet to find out whether the multiple series of events helped save the children from the brutal baron’s clutches or not.
