"In the mid-1960s, the runaway success of Sergio Leone's "Dollars" trilogy gave rise to an explosion of similar productions as filmmakers by the dozen sought to capitalize on this new, uniquely Italian take on the western, characterized by their deeply cynical outlook, morally compromised antiheroes and unflinching depictions savage violence. This specially curated selection gathers together four outstanding examples of the genre from the height of its popularity, all centred around a theme of revenge.
In Lucio Fulci's (Zombie Flesh Eaters) Massacre Time (1966), Franco Nero (Django) and George Hilton (The Case of the Scorpion's Tail) star as estranged brothers forced to band together against the powerful businessman and his sadistic son (Nino Castelnuovo, Strip Nude for Your Killer) who've seized control of their hometown. In Maurizio Lucidi's (The Sicilian Cross) My Name is Pecos (1966), Robert Woods (Johnny Colt) stars as the eponymous Mexican gunslinger, returning to Houston to settle a long-standing score against the racist gang boss (Pier Paolo Capponi, The Cat O' Nine Tails) who wiped out his entire family. In Massimo Dallamano's (What Have You Done to Solange?) Bandidos (1967), Enrico Maria Salerno (Savage Three) plays a former top marksman who, years after being maimed by a former protégé (Venantino Venantini, City of the Living Dead), teams up with a fresh apprentice (Terry Jenkins, Paint Your Wagon) to get his revenge against the man who betrayed him. Finally, in Antonio Margheriti's (Cannibal Apocalypse) And God Said to Cain (1970), the inimitable Klaus Kinski (Double Face) stars as a man who has spent the last decade in a prison work camp for a crime he didn't commit and who, upon his release, immediately sets out to wreak vengeance on the men who framed him.
Featuring a wealth of key Euro cult talent both behind and in front of the camera, Arrow Films is proud to present these four classic westerns in sparkling high definition restorations alongside a plethora of bonus materials.

Westerns at their best!!!
Arrow has been one of the better purveyors of Euro Westerns, and that tradition continues with Vengeance Trails. Not all of these films will be that familiar to even some fans of this genre, but they all have something to offer, and Arrow once again provides generally secure technical merits with a great supply of enjoyable supplements.
