2.0*/5.0*

I never knew Fulci had also done westerns. I'm only familiar with his most lauded horror films, and I'm not exactly his biggest fan. Nor am I a big fan of westerns, but at least the spaghetti westerns are a bit more interesting compared to their American counterparts. They're not great, but infinitely more watchable.

Four small-time crooks are wandering the wastelands of Utah, looking to rob and plunder people. They aren't the only ones raiding the place for loot though. A sadistic criminal is tracking them, hoping to benefit from their hard work. The four decide that they need to get rid of their tail.

The soundtrack is more pop-inspired, which is a little surprising for a western, but at least it makes for a different dynamic. The performances are rather cheesy and the film doesn't take itself too seriously, while still providing the necessary clichés. Not as bad as I feared it would be, but nothing that gets me excited.
