Quickshots- Western Religion

 

Western Religion Movie Watch Online | Find Where to Stream Full Movie in HD  @ 24reel 

Tubi, a free streaming service, has become one of my go to sources of entertainment.  While I love period dramas like The Son, Peaky Blinders, and Babylon Berlin, they require solid attention.  Sometimes you just want to zone out, and Tubi serves up a bunch of mostly forgettable content like low-budget westerns.  One surprise was Western Religion, which kept my attention the whole way through.  With a classic plot of a collection of misfit gamblers assembling at a frontier town for a poker tournament, the film is highly laced with Biblical and occult references to the point where some of it blends into another favorite genre of mine, the Occult Detectives.  There’s a “grey wizard” and a man with a ghostly companion, and an bisexual Austrian morphine & cocaine fiend named Salt Peter (a nod to Saint Peter, perhaps).  The film had a $250,000 budget, so don’t expect a lot, but it’s good Weird Western fun.
