It was produced by the redoubtable Anthony J. Xydias, whose western "epics" always promised much but delivered little. Spirit Lake Massacre, in fact, may well represent the Xydias product at its most misleading: the titular massacre is never shown on-screen but merely referred to in passing with a brief subtitle! The cast is the usual ragtag bunch of "at liberty" actors, led by Bryant Washburn, who was far too long-in-tooth to be convincing as a "young" Indian scout. The film's most authentic touch is the casting of Chief Yowlachie, a fine Native American actor, as Sitting Bull. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
