A Native heir time-travels to stop 38 ancestors from hanging—Tara Reid and Tobin Bell tag along.
Accused murderer Kyle Ghostkiller, heir to a mystical medicine bundle, escapes the FBI and time jumps to 1862 where he must save his thirty-eight ancestors from hanging and prevent a supernatural dark force from destroying the future.
Acting
Tobin Bell playing dual roles 160 years apart.
Practical Effects
Low-budget 1862 period production design, charmingly scrappy.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Armand Mastroianni also helmed the 1980 slasher He Knows You're Alone and numerous Hallmark mysteries—this sits weirdly between those energies.
The '38 ancestors' references the actual 1862 Dakota War executions, the largest mass hanging in U.S. history—wrapped here in supernatural adventure packaging that some found exploitative, others oddly earnest.
