I just sat watching this on the recently released American Blu-ray in truly fantastic quality (a 2K scan of an amazing 35 mm print).

A very good Spaghetti Western starring Anthony Steffen (aka Antonio de Teffè) as a mysterious avenger, leaving you wondering for the first half of the film whether he simply survived the slaughter so many years earlier, or if he is actually an angel of vengeance who has risen from the dead to avenge the death of his battalion.

While watching, it is almost impossible not to think of the thematically similar American western "High Plains Drifter," released four years later and starring Clint. That film is often lauded as a very original western that manages to combine suggested supernatural elements with the western genre, but this Italian film actually did just that back in 1969.

Steffen is strong in the lead role and manages to fill his role perfectly with minimal means. Furthermore, there are many familiar faces, with Paolo Gozlino as the main villain and Luciano Rossi as his somewhat deranged brother.

Rada Rassimov steals the show as a money-hungry lady who wants to trade Rossi for Django—without thinking too much.

The atmospheric score completes the picture.

An eight, or four stars.

Quite a thin storyline in this spaghetti western. Half the film is spent hunting Django, who appears like a ghost and then disappears again. This film has nothing to do with the original Django. The name was only used to attract an audience, but this is a standalone film and not a sequel to another Django film.

Very atmospherically presented, and the lead actor has a strong presence as a cold avenging angel with a cape. It is powerful how he is sometimes portrayed: often shrouded in shadows.
