ONE-EYED HORSE tells a classic western tale of obsession and revenge. Set in Hadley, Missouri, 1887, Justin Gatewood (Redfield) has recently been released from prison for attempting to kill an old adversary William Curry (Hagan). Twenty-five years earlier, Gatewood and his younger brother were Confederate prisoners-of-war, and the death of Gatewood's brother under the watch of (then) Union Officer William Curry has consumed Gatewood and fueled his desire for revenge. Free from jail, Gatewood discovers that Hadley and his world is changed, and that a "new order" of law and prosperity is now the battle cry of the people. His beautiful daughter, Helen Gatewood (Jennifer Rouse) has grown his business into a thriving concern and she makes her father promise that he'll help her and forget his past vendetta. Curry has a successful business and willful daughter of his own (Kelly Potchak), and his main concern is for her safety, once it becomes known that Gatewood still wants him dead. As Justin Gatewood methodically hatches his plan for Curry's utter destruction, the entire town of Hadley is caught in the crossfire, but most tragically, so are the daughters of both men.
Written and directed by Wayne Shipley and shot over a cumulative 50 day schedule in 2007, ONE-EYED HORSE utilized over two dozen horses and over 150 extras to several key scenes.
