Prairie Fever is a 2008 American Western direct-to-video film directed by Stephen Bridgewater. It stars Kevin Sorbo, Lance Henriksen and Dominique Swain.[1]

Plot

[edit]

Preston Biggs, former sheriff of Clearwater, escorts three women suffering from prairie fever to Carson City: Lettie tried to kill her husband; Abigale, too fragile for prairie life; and Bible-quoting Blue just snapped on her farm. They are joined by a gambler named Olivia. A gang of outlaws is chasing them.[2]

Cast

Production

[edit]

The film is Sorbo's first Western.[3] The film has been described as a "medium-budget Western".[4]

Reception

[edit]

Radio Times reviewed the film: "In this clichéd western, [Sorbo] plays a drunken ex-lawman who's asked to escort three troubled mail-order brides across harsh terrain. These so-called 'prairie fever'-afflicted women (among them a showy Dominique Swain) give an unusual slant to an otherwise archetypal mix of characters and events, but frustratingly the plotline only deals superficially with the roots of their anguish."[5] The Video Source book gave the film two stars out of 5 [6] The film has been called a "period Western with the traditional good guys and varmints."[7] A brief review at Dove, although rating the film negatively, found it unusual and appropriate for family-audiences.[8]
