10,000 DOLLARS FOR A MASSACRE 1967 (SHOUT FACTORY/TIMELESS)

A great western with some interesting music.

Gianni Garko is Django, who is a bounty hunter looking for a killer known as Manuel and when he finds him he actually teams with him to commit a robbery. Django patiently waits until the bounty reaches $10,000, then he will kill Manuel.

Manuel is played by Claudio Camaso and he is one of Spaghetti Westerns top villains. Every time he is on screen the music turns into something from a 50's or 60's horror film with very strong theremin backing. The music is very unique for a movie of this sort, but best of all, it works.

This film is, of course, very violent and SW fans wouldn't have it any other way. The plot is tight, the cinematography is beautiful and the movie runs a smooth 100 min. This is actually rated #28 in the top 100 SW films ever made. Highly Recommended.
