Not to be confused with A Man Called Horse Pussy, A MAN CALLED HORSE is the unattractively filmed and surprisingly boring story of a dude who, way back in the day, is captured by Native American Indians. You would think that that would be a bad thing and he'd be slowly tortured to death, but nope, this dude ends up having a better life than I do! I’m over here so depressed that suicide won’t even cure my grief and this dude's walking around enjoying the daylight, playing a flute, leisurely picking berries as he flirts with a girl who lives in his tribe, hanging out with puppy dogs and riding a horse. I say “his tribe” because his captors almost immediately take him in as one of their own and he’s given complete freedom to walk around and do whatever he wants. Seems like a pretty chill life. He even gets to work out his frustrations by occasionally killing members of other tribes. Also, the “electrifying ritual” promised in the poster is completely voluntary!
Promising story idea that ends up being lame, zero tension, disappointing ending, slow pace, a few quick snippets of poorly shot nudity, boring action scenes, okay acting. I wanted to like A MAN CALLED HORSE, but it ended up being a disappointment. Watch it if you want, what the fuck do I care.
