The Film

After ten years of forced labour, for a crime he never committed, Gary Hamilton is pardoned. The man who framed him, Acombar, has become a local tyrant, who pays an army of gunmen to protect him. A tornado is gathering when Hamilton approaches Acombar town, and the gunmen who are waiting for him are blinded by the dust raised by the heavy winds. Hamilton uses the network of underground galleries from an Indian graveyard to stalk his enemies and kill them one by one, most of them in gruesome fashion, helped by some of the town’s people who hate Acombar.

Comment

The script for this movie, had already been used for Salvatore Rosso’s A Stranger in Paso Bravo. This is without any doubt the better of the two adaptations. Often called Margheriti’s best western, this is also one of the very best of the gothic spaghetti westerns. In true horror style, excellent use has been made of slamming windows, flapping curtains and tolling bells to create an atmosphere of imminent danger and terror. Birds start screaming when Hamilton’s name is called … This is a must see. - Scherpschutter
