Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot!
"Terror from the depths of hell!"
A Mexican outlaw known as "The Stranger" is part of a band of thieves that steal a cargo of gold from a stagecoach. However, the Americans in the band betray him, and shoot all the Mexicans. The Stranger is not completely dead though, and crawls his way out of his shallow grave, continuing his pursuit of the gold, and exacting a bloody vengeance.
Curator's Take
“By far the weirdest Spaghetti Western ever made. It features golden bullets, vampire-like bandits, sorrowful parrots, and surreal imagery. It feels like a fever dream or a horror movie disguised as a western.”
Why This Movie Is Important
A hallucination on film. With gold bullets, vampire cowboys, and surreal imagery, it is the most experimental and horrifying entry in the canon. It treats the West as purgatory, creating a nightmare atmosphere.
