Details: Product Description

In this definitive spaghetti western, Franco Nero (Keoma, The Fifth Cord) gives a career-defining performance as Django, a mysterious loner who arrives at a mud-drenched ghost town on the Mexico-US border, ominously dragging a coffin behind him. After saving imperilled prostitute Maria (Loredana Nusciak), Django becomes embroiled in a brutal feud between a racist gang and a band of Mexican revolutionaries…
With Django, director Sergio Corbucci (The Great Silence) upped the ante for sadism and sensationalism in westerns, depicting machine-gun massacres, mud-fighting prostitutes and savage mutilations. A huge hit with international audiences, Django’s brand of bleak nihilism would be repeatedly emulated in a raft of unofficial sequels.
The film is presented here in an exclusive new restoration with a wealth of extras.

Review

McLoughlin comes alive in the finale the last punch of ''One Dark Night'' delivers impressive cinematic power. It's a shame it takes so long to get to all the face-melting insanity, but in a rare case for a horror endeavor, its worth to wait. --Blu-ray.com

FOUR STARS [out of five] a guilty pleasure that is horrible in an endearing way. --Dread Central

Good, scary fun! --DVD Verdict
