Prairie Fever is a 2008 American Western direct-to-video film directed by Stephen Bridgewater.

[1] Preston Biggs, former sheriff of Clearwater, escorts three women suffering from prairie fever to Carson City: Lettie tried to kill her husband; Abigale, too fragile for prairie life; and Bible-quoting Blue just snapped on her farm.

[4] "In this clichéd western, plays a drunken ex-lawman who's asked to escort three troubled mail-order brides across harsh terrain.

These so-called “prairie fever"-afflicted women (among them a showy Dominique Swain) give an unusual slant to an otherwise archetypal mix of characters and events, but frustratingly the plotline only deals superficially with the roots of their anguish.

"[7] A brief review at Dove, although rating the film negatively, found it unusual and appropriate for family-audiences.
