The wild west was full of ghost stories- often told around the camp fire in hushed tones lest the spirits in the shadows overhear you and bring their presence into your bedroll under the full moon.  Unfortunately, when it comes to movies, the wild west and horror don't seem to do as well as their oral storytelling predecessors.  Having said that, it's always interesting to see how a director works to mesh the two. A group of settlers have sold a deed to a mountain- which is supposed to be hiding a wealth of good under its rocky surface.  From the very beginning, greed and suspicion threatens to tear the group apart.  After the murder of a native, the group soon discovers that they are threatened by more than just greed... While this film certainly isn't a great film, there are some things I enjoyed.  It was a nice touch having Jack Elam do a cameo as Grady- the man who guides the group to the mountain.  I remember watching him in all sorts of westerns ...
