In December, ARROW are presents four Italian westerns featuring maniacal outlaws thirsting for blood, corrupt capitalists profiting from the suffering of the common folk, and desperate people pushed to violent revenge! The Italian western has never been grittier than in this quartet of later-period cult classics: Paolo Bianchini’s I Want Him Dead, starring Craig Hill (The Bloodstained Shadow); Edoardo Mulargia’s El Puro ( a.k.a. The Reward’s Yours… The Man’s Mine), with western icon Robert Woods (My Name is Pecos); Mario Camus’ Wrath of the Wind with genre superstar Terence Hill (They Call Me Trinity); and Fabio Testi (What Have You Done to Solange?) and Tomas Milian (Don’t Torture a Duckling) in Lucio Fulci’s Four of the Apocalypse. With dazzling High Definition restorations this quartet blast from the screen with both barrels!
