Welcome to Hard Times
“A town can be killed by a bullet...just like a man!”
Western
A sociopathic stranger all but destroys a small hardscrabble town but the 'mayor' convinces its survivors to stay and rebuild.
VIBE
This stark western feels like a dusty, sun-baked dirge. It's a grim, unflinching look at a town's slow collapse and the desperate, quiet resilience of its survivors. A somber, character-focused experience.
