curse of the forty niner doesn not really deserve a long and detailed review and so i will just make some random observation about it represent cool open credit . no plot . be there anyone who ever see a horror film before and can not guess and within the first 20 minute and who will survive and who will not among this group of walk stereotype . hey and that newcomer ( alexandra ford ) be pretty hot . richard lynch ( make up to look about 100 year old ) and john phillip law have fun and tongue in cheek cameo . karen black have a big role and but she not fun she rather embarrass . martin kove be on screen for about 40 second and but still get his name on the video cover . do they pay him for this appearance or be it the other way around . i hate cheap computer generate effect in horror film . half out of 4 .
