Based on a popular (and once excellent) Italian comic book series, this western can be enjoyed only on a "so bad it's fun" level.
The plot had potential, with horror elements in a western setting (one of the trademarks of the series), but execution is cheap and forgettable. Berger is an acceptable Carson, but Giuliano Gemma does not convince as Tex. Gemma has given good and even great performances elsewhere (Il Prefetto di Ferro), but here he comes across as someone pretending to be tough, uttering nearly every line in a sardonic "don't mess with me" monotone. It's a toothless, vapid turn.
Featuring a bizarre cameo by Tex creator Giovanni Bonelli as a Navajo sorcerer.
Tex deserved a better movie.
3,5/10
