A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

07/12/2018 I've watched alot of cowboy movies in my 69 years of life. The 1950's Gene Autry's, Lone Ranger movies in black & white, right up to the John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, Steve McQueen and into Roddie Yates aka Clint Eastwood movies. Clint being my all time favorite old western actor as he played the hired killer in "The UnForgiven" my #1 favorite movie of all time in my book with at least a dozen Plus views by me and possibly more? This movie "Death Rides A Horse" is easily one of Lee Van Cleef's best movies that he ever made. He's on par with ol' Clint in his old western acting skills. Nothing more needs to be said after that. Watch for yourself and then you can decide??? Of course, I think this novie's great. Bon Appetit

Love this movie and have it in my archive. not sure why someone would
call it a leone rip off. He just happens to be the most famous of the
directors. But there were other influential ones created by the likes
of Sergio Corbucci "Django" and this one by Giulio Petroni. All very
entertaining all dubbed. If you say rip off then Leone rip offed
Kurosawa .. but in my eyes its not rip off... remake or takings ideas
is flattering in my eyes...Death rides a horse is great for a nice Spaghetti western marathon

A gang of western cutthroats kills a ranch family during a robbery, but misses the hidden boy witness. Fifteen years pass by quickly. All grown up, tall blond John Phillip Law (as Bill) uses visual clues to track his family's murderers. He receives an unlikely ally when likewise vengeful gunslinger Lee Van Cleef (as Ryan) gets out of jail; the older man was part of the gang, but played a different role than the others. They have a secret bond. Although dubbed, the stars make it predominantly English-speaking Italian film. This is a stylistically stiff, sneering and steely-eyed attempt to capitalize on the newly popular "spaghetti western" genre. Unconventional direction, camera-work and editing adds a little interest.*** Death Rides a Horse (8/31/67) Giulio Petroni ~ John Phillip Law, Lee Van Cleef, Mario Brega, Anthony Dawson

This movie started off with a great opening scene with a bad storm and a family who gets slaughtered this is typical for SW movies a revenge for a slaughtered family theme. I liked how it showed four men masked and each man shows the boy some distinguishing feature to help him later in life identify each of the culprits with the exception of one who loses the bandanna around his face and is an easy spot. Another man comes in and saves the boy from the fire. Its a great western of two men who both have a score to settle with the same men. It is director Guilio Petroni's best western by most critics, I have yet to see his Night of the Serpent which is told to be a great second of his work. Lee Van Cleef gives a great performance in this one and the famous Ennio Morricone gives another brilliant score. I actually always have enjoyed the villain roles of Anthony Dawson and he is good in this one as well.
