I Want Him Dead
2 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Clayton (Craig Hill) has been working for three years to earn money only to learn that money from the Confederacy is no longer worth anything. He comes back home and soon his sister Mercedes (Christina Businari) is assaulted and killed by two of Mallek's (Andrea Bosic) thugs. Clayton can't even go to the sheriff for help, because he killed that man's brother in self-defense. Mallek also wants the Civil War to keep on warring, so he has a plan to kill off the generals who are in the middle of peace talks.

I haven't seen many of Paolo Bianchini's films before. He also made The Devil's Man, Superargo and the Faceless Giants, God Made Them... I Kill Them, Gattling Gun and Hey Amigo! A Toast to Your Death. He's still making movies. Il profumo delle Zagare was released in 2022.

The writer was Carlos Sarabia, who only wrote this movie, and everything looks great thanks to cinematographer Ricardo Andreu, who also filmed Beyond Terror, Assignment Terror, The Price of Power and Labios rojos.

I love that there's someone on IMDB that points out that everyone uses Colt Single Action Army revolvers that didn't come out until 13 years after this movie was set. There's that and the fact that it's set in a desert while the actual peace talks between Grant and Lee took place in Virginia.

But come on! We're here for revenge, not a history class.
