Here's a shocker. An actual 'Asylum' movie without CGI monsters. This is a straight up revenge western centered around a bounty hunter and a young woman who's entire family was killed by an outlaw gang. She was raped but spared by one of the gang.
After several months of drinking herself into a stupor the young woman meets the bounty hunter who she asks to teach her to shoot. Convenient since the same outlaws who killed her family are coming back to kill the witness they left before.
It was good to see 80s guys like Greg Evigan and Barry Van Dyke get some work. I was surprised to hear how much Dyke sounds like his famous father.
Bounty hunter Frank Allison (Dyke) takes pity the young woman and agrees to help her once she cleans herself up and stops drinking. She hopes to take her revenge on the gang who ruined her life. Why not teach her to use a rifle instead of an unruly handgun was my first question. Women in gun belts are sexier anyways.
What follows is a pretty standard duster that is strangely unemotional and detached. The filmmakers capture the look but can't quite get the emotions down. We have pretty much seen it all before.
You can see the trailer here.

Surprising this didn't win an Oscar.[Been reading your silly comments on others' blogs, and I see I've needed to join in on the fun as a follower.]
Cheers,

This sounds like a movie done back in the 70s with the Racquel Welch as the victim and Robert Culp who's the gunslinger who teaches her to gunfight.
Hannie Caulder was the movie with Raquel Welch and Robert Culp as the bounty hunter who teaches her how to use a gun.
Christopher Lee has a great part in the movie as a good guy. Ernest Borgnine,Jack Elam and Strother Martin played the bad guys.
OMG! You're blog is great. I'm so happy to be here. :) Oh, I'm over here following you from Patrick Tillett's blog.
