This will be a short review - it could be even shorter; it could simply say "learn to keep the camera straight". In fact i'm going to copypaste the phrase "learn to keep the camera straight" several times because i feel that this phrase, on its own, explains about 90% of what this film review needs to be.<br/><br/>The other 10% is: it's a cheaply made "western" with horrid non-professional acting, terrible photography (i've seen films shot on iPhones that are 10x better) and a plot which i didn't have time to understand because i was being made to feel nauseous by the constantly tilting and weaving of the camera.<br/><br/>learn to keep the camera straight.<br/><br/>That's lesson 1 of filmmaking. Even Andy Warhol's "Sleep" managed to accomplish this step, and The Murder Of Hi Good, instead, did not.<br/><br/>".. is a true crime revisionist Acid Western set in the frontier of Northern California" says the blurb. No. It's not. It's garbage.<br/><br/>My vote: 4/10 - learn to keep the camera straight.
Synopsis
Based on historical events, The Murder of Hi Good is a true crime revisionist Acid Western set in the frontier of Northern California, 1870. Shot on 35mm, 16mm, Super 8mm and Mini DV, It details the eventual murder of California's most notorious Indian hunter; Hiram (Hi) Good. Most historians believe that his indentured servant "Indian Ned" killed him, a native boy whom he'd raised as a son. It's suspected that Ned was influenced by the nearby Mill Creek Indians or "diggers", who were struggling to eke out an existence on their ancestral lands.
