About a big fur trapping operation in Texas. I didn't know any animals in Texas were prized for their fur. Indians have wiped out a bunch of trappers including the son of the guy running this fur trapping business, but the man's teenage grandson has fled into what Texans consider a "forest". A trapper turned cook goes walking out there alone to look for the young fellow. Everyone walks very slowly in this. Even when some bad men capture the former trapper, tie his hands and force him walk behind their horses they're barely moving.
Like most low budget movies, there was more dialogue than anything else, but the dialogue is odd and stilted. They don't speak naturally. It's like they were supposed to be speaking a foreign language but didn't want to use subtitles.
The boy hasn't been out there very long, but he's gone feral and doesn't want to leave the forest to which he attributes supernatural powers. He wears a big fur hat even though they're in Texas. Others dressed like regular cowboys. I don't think that guy's musket was going to be of much help if they were attacked by more than one Indian.
At one point, the former trapper and experienced frontiersman eats some poisonous berries. Like an idiot.
It could have been a half hour shorter. Terribly violent ending you might like.
The sets and props were good. Directed by Brett Bentman.
