The American-Colombian film City of Dead Men shows that the crisis of American horror can easily carry over to places that might have their own original concepts. But this is a boring American screenwriting template, which is set in a relatively interesting environment that is woefully underused. Jackson Rarthbone tries to create an interesting character, but the script ultimately destroys it anyway.
