So excited to review Night of the Tommyknockers, horror westerns are few and far between (make more!), I love finding new ones. I’ve got my coffee; it’s pouring with rain outside and I’m curled up ready to watch. Tommyknockers have been part of western folklore since the 1820’s and is brought to life in the brilliant action scenes the Mahal brothers are so good at.
**Warning: there may be spoilers ahead**
When miners blast for gold in the 1870’s, they accidentally release ancient creatures known as Tommyknockers. The Town of Deer Creek, Nevada is soon under siege with only a handful of survivors held up in the local saloon

Night of the Tommyknockers Review Conclusion
More please: Horses, guns, monsters, this movie has got it all. Love the action scenes, monsters bursting through windows, an unexpected danger, and our bad guy heroes just trying to stay alive. It’s just so absorbing, and I found myself glued to the screen -my coffee actually went cold! With some interesting weapon choices and a kind of a plan, the bad guys lay low with the town’s folk to get through the night. Shame the Tommyknockers ain’t the only ones hunting them and that they can’t get their minds off the prize. And guys, keep watching after the credits start to roll!
