The Legend of the Phantom Rider stars Denise Crosby as Sarah, a woman who is left alone in her new frontier home after a group of baddies fronted by Blade (Robert McCray) kill her husband and child. Her seething need for retribution causes an ancient spirit to come to town. This spirit takes the form of a gunfighter called Pelgidium who sets off to face down Blade, but soon it becomes apparent that these two have met before. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

This blood-soaked shocker seems to waver between standard horror and black comedy as it tells the tale of a young man who is so plagued by terrifying nightmares of a haunted prison that he is unable to function normally during the day. To understand the dreams, he goes to a dream interpreter who tells him the prison is the abandoned Alcatraz and that to stop the dreams, he must go there to face his fear. The young man brings a few skeptical friends with him. Once in the notorious, empty prison, the visage of a late rock star appears and explains the situation. Apparently the place is being haunted by the vile ghost of a US cavalry officer who enjoyed eating human flesh. The dead rocker then explains that the young man needs to destroy the demon before it kills again. Unfortunately, the creature has already begun possessing and killing the fellow's friends one-by-one. The soundtrack features music from Devo. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
