DVD Talk says, "Death Rides a Horse is one of the genre's most highly regarded films." Fistful of Pasta says, "this is a great spaghetti westerns. Don't miss it." Roger Ebert gives it one lone star but opens his review with this: "It's hard to explain the fun to be found in seeing the right kind of bad movie." Spaghetti-Western.net has an extensive summary and advice on choosing a DVD release to buy.

Actually, I'm a really big fan of this movie. Lee Van Cleef is fantastic as always, and it has a phenomenal Ennio Morricone Score. Really, to dismiss the pleasure of viewing this as in any way related to supposed "badness" is ridiculous. It's a well paced, action packed, thrilling movie, that makes good use of genre conventions that shouldn't be dismissed as cliches!
ReplyDeleteActually, this movie was very specifically influential to my Spaghetti Western Concept Rap album, "Showdown at the BK Corral" I'd love to hear what you think of it! You can download it for free at sunsetparkriders.com
I agree with you. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, except for the dubbing issues, and I like Lee Van Cleef. I'll have to check out your album.
