The Burgomaster

Here it is, the infamous Euro-western . . . with gore!

When their wagon is ambushed and destroyed, a cavalry sergeant and his attractive daughter must escort 7 prisoners from a chain gang down a snow-covered mountain.  This sets the stage for dismemberments, burnings, shootings, stabbings, and eviscerations.  Certainly not the best western you will ever see, but it's a decent one and the occasional gore scenes make it somewhat unique.  I bought a nice copy from twistedanger.com.

Yeah, as a western it's not bad, but I think the level of gore has often been overstated by many people when discussing this film.  It's a violent movie for sure, but it's no Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Very true . . . but for a western, the gore is surprising.  If this was a horror movie, it would be pretty tame.

Saw this one a few years back, during my Spaghetti Western phase. I think it starts out quite promisingly, even if the violence is way too mean, but it the end it starts looking way too much like a "Friday the 13th" film. Not among my favourite SWs, but it's so weird it's worth checking out.
Due to the horrifying nature of this film, no one will be admitted to the theatre.

I rented this many moons ago on vhs...unfortunatly-like lotsa Euro films at the time-the US print was butchered beyond belief.
