Anyone seen this?
Should it be listed in the SWDb?
I’ve seen a trailer, and heard bad reports … the trailer suggests it’s another cheapo hoping to cash in on recent western releases.
Personally, I wouldn’t categorize it as a SW - it’s just a cheap little semi amateur effort by Matellano, who is a film writer /critic, but judging by his dreadful horror flick ‘Vampyres’, is NO director.
yea but since when is quality a criteria for the SWDb 
I mean the director’s Italian and they shot it in Spain right? Ticks the most important boxes…
Victor Matellano is actually Spanish, but I take your point - Personally I see SWs as a 60s and 70s phenomenon … so the fact this was filmed in Spain by an international group, is irrelevant - I feel it shouldn’t be thrown in with ‘genuine’ SWs, as it gives it an unwarranted kudos.
and we aren’t, but the SWDb is already full of movies that fit a “broad” Eurowestern definion, and by some rogue group of people who initiated it, also Mexican Westerns, who at the most stylistically match the description 
Perhaps only films that actually get a legit cinema release should be included here ? 
These films never get past the festival circuit, the actors and crew aren’t paid - and I can only assume they are made as a way of lobbying professional producers into considering the makers as a worthwhile risk for future film development, but it’s more likely they’re just on an ego trip.
Obviously it’s your call, Sebastian

So far, I’m only a mob of one
One of the reasons I get a little irritated by these ‘nouveau’ SWs is, that when I first started researching the genre for myself, I kept finding info on the Emilio Estevez film ‘A Dollar for the Dead’, which used the tag, ‘A tribute to Sergio Leone’, obviously a clever marketing idea for the film’s exposure - No doubt Estevez thought he was paying homage, but although the film was shot in Almeria, it can never be regarded as a SW, even if it were a much better film than it actually is. Using the Godfather of the genre’s name is, to me, is a form of plagiarism, without actually breaking copyright law. By that tenuous association many people will have checked out this film, and I doubt Leone himself would have had anything positive to say about it. As he did say, “If I’m the father of the Spaghetti western, then I gave birth to a lot of bastards”
The German version will see some censorship
True.
Some of us has not…

Parada en el infierno now has two pages in the database. We should delete one.
https://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Stop_Over_in_Hell
https://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Parada_en_el_infierno
It would also be a good idea to check whether a movie already has an entry in the database before creating a new page.
@jan.svabenicky will fix it later, but @Bad_Lieutenant go ahead and delete the duplicate right away if you want. Let’s carry over and info
Update: fixed
