Curator's Take
“Lucio Fulci (the horror master) directs a western. It’s cruel, sadistic, and deeply melancholic. It follows four losers trying to survive a harsh journey. Not for the faint of heart, but powerful.”
Why This Movie Is Important
Lucio Fulci brings his horror sensibilities to the west. It is a sadistic, grueling road movie filled with torture and misery, yet strangely sentimental. It is a unique, unsettling experience that proves the western could be twisted into a horror film.
