-Alternating between dullness and brilliance, between monstrously kitsch and deeper allegorical meaning, ''Keoma'' was the last hurrah of the SW at a point when the genre was already dead. With its twilight images and its apocalyptical themes, ''Keoma'' became the eponym of these so called twilight SWs (not to be confused with the American twilight westerns about the dying of the west), which marked the last desperate attempts to make a last serious SW when the rule of the day was the parody and the comedy. But even the success of ''Keoma'' couldn't retrieve the interest of the audience for more than this particular film. In parts fascinating, ''Keoma'' was the most ambitious and also the best of Castellari's SWs, which garnered a cult following up to today.
