The Film

Tom Corbett is asked by a friend of the family to come home. The family farm is now property of the Scott family, and Tom’s brother Jeff has become an alcoholic. Behind all this, is Scott Junior, a bullwhip wielding psychopath. Jeff seems amused, even when Tom is brutally tortured by Junior, but when the Indian woman, who has raised him and Tom, is killed, he decides to take up his guns and side with his brother during the final shootout.

Comment

Director Lucio Fulci’s first spaghetti western is a little slow in spots, but the pace picks up with the infamous bullwhip scene and the film has an ultra-violent, hypnotic finale that seems to have influenced John Woo to his balletic shootouts. Despite the presence of Nero this is definitely Hilton’s film: it’s possibly his greatest performance in a spaghetti western and was his breakthrough in Italy. - Scherpschutter
