This film has nothing to do with Django. The real title should be "SE SEI VIVO SPARO" ("IF YOU LIVE SHOOT"). The distributors decided to put the word "Django" in there just to make a sale. The great director Giulio Questi was not happy about this.

A very controversial graphic film for 1967, with shocking western violence and some extreme scenes for back then. The Italian Tomas Milian stars as a double crossed bandit who is saved and given another chance at life. He somehow ends up in a freaky town of greedy strangers called "the unhappy place". This is when the film becomes strange in a cool way, a "Twilight Zone" feel kicks in mixed with a atmospheric western setting. Lots of twists and turns throughout the plot kept me interested the whole time.

This film is epic and was ahead of its time. It could have been released the other day. Aside for a few special effects complaints, it's still pretty damn convincing. If you're looking for a unique spaghetti western with a twist, look no further. This film is miner's gold!

Tomas Milian stars in this surreal and bizarre spaghetti western.

Set in a little town called "The Unhappy Place", this flick is filled with dirty, ugly and unhappy people. And they are all trying to kill each other over a few bags of gold.

The DVD description talks about "relentless sexual depravity" and "hideous torture", but the torture sequence is really quite tame, and the only "sexual depravity" to be found is a posse of black-clad cowboys who are implied to be homosexuals.

But that is easily forgiven due to the quantity and quality of violence in the movie. Lots of shootouts, and LOTS of shots of the aftermath of the shootouts. This movie actually almost fetishizes death, the camera lovingly lingering on bloodied corpses, bullet holes, and the bulging tongues of hanged men.

Definitely unconventional, even for a spaghetti western, "Django, Kill" is worth a look for fans of the subgenre.
