VENGEANCE TRAIL is a typical spaghetti western with a few twists on the formula to keep it interesting. There's a racism subtext to the storyline with the hero being the sole survivor of an Indian massacre as a child. As an adult, he's drawn into a plot when townsfolk start dying at the hands of some equally ruthless Native Americans, but he soon finds that a ruthless landowner is the one really responsible. There's plenty of plotting and action here to take your mind off any of the story's limitations, and Leonard Mann is a likable hero. Ivan Rassimov is excellent as the villain of the piece and Klaus Kinski pops up to play another oddball character. This one's no classic, but it gets the job done well enough.
