Handlungstechnisch wird etwas Standardkost geboten, aber inszenatorisch holt Fulci echt einiges hier raus, und erfreut das Auge des Betrachters mit originellen Kameraeinstellungen und zuweilen recht garstigen Gewaltspitzen, die schon einen kleinen Vorgeschmack auf das geben, was ihn später berühmt-berüchtigt machte. Stramm unterstützt wird der gute Eindruck durch das Casting der beiden Italowesternpowerhouses Nero und Hilton. Ein paar bizarre Drehbuchideen, wie das angedeutet inzestiöse Verhältnis des Schurken und seines Sohns, runden Fulcis ersten Ausflug ins Westerngenre ab.

Massacre Time is a solid spaghetti western directed by the legendary Lucio Fulci, one of my favorite Italian directors.
The film is decently shot and carries a gritty, dark, and mysterious atmosphere. The suspense builds steadily and effectively, culminating in a satisfying final showdown. True to Fulci's style, Massacre Time is notably violent for its era, even featuring some rather gory scenes, particularly toward the end, as a reminder that you're watching a Lucio Fulci film.
However, the pacing can feel a bit monotonous at times, largely due to the protagonist’s (played by the great Franco Nero) reluctance to take action. While he actively seeks to uncover what's going on in his hometown and occasionally engages in combat, he only becomes more proactive toward the end of the film. This is when the story finally gains momentum and becomes genuinely entertaining. Though easy to follow, the plot can occasionally feel somewhat convoluted.
Overall, Massacre Time may not be a standout spaghetti western, but it offers enough thrills to make it worth watching. There's definitely some fun to be had here, especially for fans of the genre or Fulci's work.

had 0 interest in watching this movie but then i saw the trailer and could not stop thinking abt it for a whole day. Easy top 3 trailer I ever seen.
also, joins the rank of 12 Angry Men as a movie so enthralling that I get distracted from something else I intended to do at the start of the movie, in this instance it was smoking a bong.

Massacre Time? More like a good time! Hashtag lol.
*Literal translation of Italian title is The Colt Sang Death and it was… Massacre Time, which is a much better title. Lowered score half a star.
*Franco Nero does a backflip over the guys he’s in a shootout against. Raised score half a star.
