DVD REVIEW: THE BURROWERS
04/19/09
An Official Selection of
the 2008 Toronto Film Festival, The Burrowers comes to DVD
this April from Lionsgate. It is 1879 in the Dakota
Territories. A handful of brave pioneers maintain isolated
settlements in the badlands beyond civilization. Irish
Immigrant Fergus Coffey is near to winning the hand of his
beloved Maryanne when she is suddenly taken from him, her
family brutally abducted in a nighttime attack on their
homestead. Suspicion falls immediately on hostile Indians.
Experienced Indian fighters Will Parcher and John Clay form
a posse and set out to rescue the kidnapped settlers, taking
along a naïve teenager hoping to prove himself a man, an
ex-slave looking to find his place in the world and their
ranch-hand, Coffey. But as men vanish in the night and
horrific evidence accumulates with the dead and dying, the
group discovers that their prey is far more terrifying than
anything human, and their prospects are far more terrible
than death.
