The film draws on the story lines of traditional American Western movies: an unknown mysterious man arrives in a small town controlled by evil forces. The local residents forget to resist and are willing to obey under the evil forces. Only a certain woman still has a sense of justice, hoping to change all of this. The arrival of the mysterious guest killed all the evil forces and liberated the whole town with his magical marksmanship. Finally, in the sunset, riding away with the woman.

The film incorporates horror elements into the basic storyboard of traditional westerns. Turn evil forces into large dolls possessed by evil souls. The character played by Nicholas Cage has no lines throughout. It can be seen from the film that Cage created by the creative team is a man with obsessive-compulsive disorder, drinking carbonated drinks, playing small ball games, paying attention to the spirit of contract, and completing the task of cleaning the paradise when he encounters an evil puppet. Cage doesn’t say a word. Said, to show this role.

The film draws on the cult soul-possessed element of "Ghost Baby". In shaping the horror atmosphere, it is completely in the style of the B-level hack and slash movie in the 1980s. A group of idle teenagers were tortured and killed by a group of monsters. But this time the protagonist is the one who doesn't speak much personally, and won't run away. He just wants to fight and kill the evil puppets and call his father ancestor.

The shortcomings of this film are also obvious. Because of the lack of ability and funding of the creative team, you can obviously feel that the special effects part is weak. The editing also made people dizzy, especially the scene of the battle with the doll, which was a terrible viewing experience. The acting skills of the supporting actors and the director's grasp of rhythm are relatively weak.
