When Video Kingdom released an English-language dub of this film on VHS in 1989, they entitled it A Breed of Snakes. Ever since then, it seems to have been confused with a 1988 feature, En peligro de muerte, that includes some of the same cast members. There are three glaring clues supporting this: 1)the cast of this film are costumed in late '70s attire, not late '80s; 2)the film is credited to director Rene Cardona, while 1988's film was directed by Antonio de Anda; and 3)the 'old west' plot synopsis listed on IMDb clearly bears no resemblance to the mid 20th century plot of Raza de viboras (Race of Vipers).
So, is the film any good? Not really. Two brothers squabble around the ranch, while a sweet young thing tries to protect her ailing grandfather from the outside world. There is a snake, but it doesn't show up until two-thirds into the movie, and there's some decidedly unpleasant footage of diseased cattle being put down.
