Review of Organ Trail

Organ Trail (2023)
9/10
Western showing hardships of life on the Oregon Trail especially for females
29 November 2023
Despite the negative reviews here I really liked this movie and would recommend it. Some of the comments are that it was "low budget" - I don't know why that matters. It was filmed in Montana and the scenery is actually breathtaking, in fact the beautiful scenery contrasts with the ugliness of some of the humans that exist on this trail, waiting to take advantage of innocent travellers who are crossing the Oregon Trail. I don't know why the film is called "Organ Trail" perhaps that is how it was pronounced by people back then. There are two main female characters who have to battle violent outlaws. It is through the strength of these women that carries the film, the violence is juxtaposed with the women trying to free themselves from the crazy outlaws who don't hold back from extreme violence. I would say this film was extremely absorbing, it made one think about the actual violence that people must have suffered, including native americans, who were dislocated from their lands by European settlers, and the way the remote vastness of the country attracted violent criminals to prey on the unwary.
