“The Organ Trail” (** out of four) was a colorless Western melodrama set in 1870’s Montana in which a young woman (Zoe Da Grand Maison) fights for her retrieval of a precious family horse and has to encounter a group of bloodthirsty bandits (Mather Zickel, Lukas Jann, and others) in order for them both to stay alive. Title is an allusion to the blockbuster computer game “The Oregon Trail” but this inert film doesn’t have that game’s excitement. Good muzak score by Craig Brethren and solid production values still can’t make this a “trail” worth traveling down.
