A gunslinger on a mission from God must track down supernatural creatures as penance for his past sins. Dan, scarred by past encounters with the undead, is determined to eliminate the threat, leading to a final confrontation that will determine a town’s fate.
Al Snow delivers a compelling and grounded performance as Dan Remington, bringing genuine gravitas to this supernatural Western horror blend. As a monster hunter tasked by God with tracking down creatures of the night, Snow portrays his character with admirable restraint and sincerity. His weathered portrayal of Remington feels authentic, particularly in the quieter moments where he wrestles with his past sins and unexpected reunion with his grandchildren. Snow’s understated approach serves the material well, finding the right balance between a hardened gunslinger and a troubled soul seeking redemption.
Snow is backed by a talented supporting cast who match his commitment to the material. The young actors playing his grandchildren bring natural chemistry to their scenes with Snow, making their evolving family dynamic both believable and engaging. The vampire sheriff, in particular, proves to be a worthy adversary, with the actor bringing menacing charisma to match Snow’s stoic determination. The ensemble cast fills out the town with convincing performances that help ground the supernatural elements in reality.
“Unnatural” weaves an entertaining tale where religion and the supernatural collide in the Old West. When Remington’s monster-hunting mission intersects with his two grandchildren’s lives, the story takes on new dimensions. Following an unfortunate loss, the children join their estranged grandfather on his divine mission, leading to a confrontation with a vampire sheriff who holds a town in his grip.
This creative period horror story successfully blends vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and gunfighters into a narrative with surprising heart. Writers Don Perrin and Whitman have crafted a character-driven screenplay that prioritizes human drama over supernatural spectacle. The production design and costuming effectively establish the Old West setting, while the mix of supernatural elements, faith, and creature-feature components offers something for every horror fan.
