Into the Badlands 1991  R, 89 min.
Genre: Western
Director: Sam Pillsbury
Cast: Bruce Dern, Mariel Hemingway, Helen Hunt, Dylan McDermott, Lisa Pelikan, Andrew Robinson, Adam Sanchez, Jerry Gardner, Michael J. Metzger, Steven Schwartz-Hartley
This Western/Horror flick is a little strange, to say the least. Barston (Bruce Dern) is a bounty hunter searching for an outlaw. He's tough–to the point of cutting off a frostbitten toe. Other characters enter and leave the scene in this confusing mess. Interesting cast in this made-for-cable TV film.

The boy (Brian Krause) and girl (Milla Jovovich) grow into adulthood, overcoming the elements alone after Sarah died while they were both young. They even survive the intrusion of outsiders in this sub-par film, though the scenery is good.
