Synopsis

Wedding guests awaiting the arrival of the bride suddenly become nervous when they notice that the table has been laid for 13... an ominous number. Their worries are confirmed when the bridal carriage pulls up outside bearing the lifeless bride and the corpses of three other guests. The suspicions rise between the thirteen guests, and the identity of the murderer is a shocking surprise.

Comment

Giuseppe Vari's last SW is a lesser one. 13th Is a Judas combines elements from murder mystery, treasure hunt and revenge movies without being really convincing. This ok western could have used a few more charismatic actors to make the story go, but with Dino Strano in the cast you know that Vari again didn't have a decent enough budget to afford them.
