Strange spaghetti saga
5 January 2015
I like spaghetti westerns - I'll watch any that cross my path and I'll almost certainly enjoy it. Though I have to admit that "10,000 For A Massacre" is one of the strangest spaghetti westerns I've seen in quite a while. There are some real surreal touches here and there, from the music to an often dreamy feeling generated by the director. The story is also unusual; while it more or less starts off with a standard spaghetti western premise, it eventually goes off in some unexpected directions. Nothing immediately wrong with that, but the story eventually gets to be a little boring , and you'll wonder why the hero doesn't just get down to business. The hero himself isn't totally likable, by the way, though he looks good compared to the villain played by Claudio Camaso (who is good.) While I wouldn't call this a GREAT spaghetti western, it may be of interest to spaghetti western fans who want to see something that somewhat different. I have to admit that despite those aforementioned flaws, it did in the end keep me interested right to the end.
