Half-breed gunfighter Keoma (Franco Nero) returns to his hometown to find it overrun by a hideous plague. What's worse, Caldwell, the boss of the town, won't let any medical supplies in -- or let any ...( read more  read more... )people out.

Combines the operatic conventions of spaghetti Westerns with the slow-motion shootouts of Sam Peckinpah.

    Big, bold and sometimes outrageous late entry in the Spaghetti Western genre. Nero, Strode and Berger are excellent, as always, and the music you're either going to love or tear your hair out in hatred for it. I, for one, enjoyed it. It's violent and weird, although the plot i...( read more)s not exactly original. No matter, that's not what Spaghetti Westerns are about, anyway. Enzo G Castellari was one of the more experimental and strange spag directors and this is his best...

    Best Spaghetti Western I've seen in a very long time.

    I'm a fan of Franco Nero and Castellari as it is, but in this sucker they both carve out one hell of a spaghetti western. Enzo directs with interesting artistic flair and with alot of help from Nero create a different but still cool anti-hero.
    I'm sure this flick holds up to the ...( read more)better of the sub-genre as well as repeat viewings which I'm sure I'll participate in soon.

    That was so awesome I almost came in my pants.
    No seriously. This is so fuckin' good I don't even know how to express myself.
    Half-breed Keoma returns to his ghostly desert hometown to settle the score with his mothers killers and his half-brothers.
    Earie, spooky soundtrack, sand...( read more) blowing in your face(or was that just the drugs?) and raw violence til the sun come up.
    Franco Nero is my hero!

    Spaghetti Maestro Enzo Castellari conjures up a really atmosphereic western with a good heaping of symbolism. The story is great and the action top notch...as always with Castellari films. Franco Nero is magnificent as the half breed Keoma who returns home to find it ravaged with...( read more) plague and over run by baddies. The shoot out near the conclusion is great. Franco Nero is seriously one of my favorite actors and the more films i catch him in the more i love the guy! His emotional range leaves most in the dust. Keoma also benifits from the genius of Woody Strode. His character is definatly a major high light of the film. The score is rather unusual. Some find it detracting of the film...personally i love it and i own it.
    One of the better spaghetti westerns!

    Great film which could have used better music. Excellent cinematography and atmosphere.

    Kind of simplistic; he doesn't look like he has a drop of Native American blood in him either....but still good fun.
