The filmmakers set out to recreate a 1960's Spaghetti Western. They had the semi-animated-looking opening credits and they even dubbed the dialogue. It starts with a gang of outlaws robbing a church and killing the minister. If it were a real spaghetti western, it would have been Catholic or more obviously Catholic.
But the story gets going a short time after this. A husband goes off to town. While he's gone, the criminals come to the house, find the wife alone.
This is how every one of these cheap westerns starts now. Some guys come to an isolated house. They first try to seem non-threatening, then they kill everybody. Just one person in this case.
Her husband, naturally, goes after them. It was rather grim.
It had Spaghetti Westerny music, but nearly all Italian westerns were made by members of the Italian Communist Party. I didn't notice any Marxist undertones.
It was even filmed in Spain.
Free on Tubi.
