The Legend of Frank Woods (1977) User Reviews

Which came first...the crummy movie, or the crummy video transfer?

This review is based on Direct Video's 1989 VHS release, which is truly horrendous. The print is washed out, muddy, blurry, apparently and indiscriminately pan-and-scanned, and colorless. Which, come to think of it, also describes the movie, an incredibly low-budget western with a dull story about a frontier badman masquerading - poorly - as a preacher man. If I'm going to watch a movie about a phony preacher man, I'll opt for Albert Viola's Preacherman (1971) which at least tries to be funny. Would The Legend of Frank Woods be improved by a digital remastering? Probably - but probably not enough to earn it a recommendation.
