Trivia
The film was belatedly (and incorrectly) branded a former UK 'video nasty' following its inclusion in the 2000 book on banned UK horror films "See No Evil". In fact the film had never been prosecuted or listed as a video nasty during the 1980's.

Quotes
Justice Cain: You don't want a cause. You want revenge!

4/10

A Western Roughie.

Director Ken Osborne brings us a real rough western which probably could not be made today with so many racial pejoratives. If is the murder revenge formula with some terribly graphic scenes that made me uncomfortable which may have been the Directors point. A solid "not too far over the top performance" by John Carradine as the (Preacher) and an excellent job turned in by Bob Dix as the leader of the bad guys.(Amison). Everybody else is OK with Director Osborn at times attempting a little humor and a couple of nude scenes, thank you ladies, to break up the bleakness of the film. That being said I would still recommend it for guys who don't mind graphic violence and a dark hunger for revenge by the leading man (Scott Brady) as Cain. If you decide to watch - it is best viewed before a shower as you will need one after watching.
