The Burrowers: The Attack

From its opening images of the Dakota territories in 1879, The Burrowers appears to be every inch a Western. But in the hands of writer/director J.T. Petty, The Burrowers probes horrors that no Western could ever fathom. What begins as a tale worthy of John Ford - a band of hardened ranchers set off into the wilderness to rescue a family kidnapped by a Native American tribe - turns into a terrifying encounter with a gruesome species that's far from human.
