I saw the Arrow box set of Vengeance Trails in HMV for a reasonable price. It’s worth getting. I agree with you about And God Said to Cain but it in addition to Massacre Time, it has Bandidos (I’m surprised you don’t think much of this one). Pecos is good fun, as well.

I remember Bandidos just being boring/forgettable. Pecos I haven’t seen. The boxset goes from €100 + on European amazon sites which is ludicrous for what you get imo.

That’s UK + Ireland only I believe. That’s a good deal though, worth it for Massacre Time alone.
re-watched this one for the first time in several years!
A pretty standard but fun spaghetti western from the time BUT it stars Franco Nero, is directed by a pre-italian master of horror Lucio Fulci and ends in a climax that could only be described as proto-John Woo styled heroic bloodshed type action!
Much better then i remember it being!

Franco, plus a wonderful performance by George Hilton, as the pissed out of his skull brother…
Not a SW I’m enamoured of, but it is a goodie…

One thing I like about Massacre Time is that it has just enough of Fulci’s typical sadism and gore that it still feels like a Fulci film, without becoming completely bogged down in it such as in Four of the Apocalypse

‘The Brute and the Beast’ opened in Detroit, MI, November 27 1968.
Toward less brutality: Perhaps with an eye to late, late movie sales in the 1970s, the title of the upcoming film “Time for Massacre” has been changed to “The Brute and the Beast.” (Kenosha News, November 1, 1968)
