Reviews
  • Sonic-cinema.com:  Director Stefan Colson uses economical set ups and production values to good effect in this film; even if it starts a bit rough, he smooths it out as the story gets along (that includes the performances), and the result is a solid western programmer.
  • Voicesfromthebalcony.com: Ghosts of Red Ridge does look good, a conventional tale of lawmen and outlaws in the old west.
