Sunday Brunches: Morricone's Spaghetti Westerns - Death Rides A Horse (15) S

Death Rides A Horse's brutally violent opening sees a young boy's family murdered in cold blood by a gang of outlaws. The boy, of course, becomes a revenge-fuelled gun-slinging adult, Bill (John Philip Law), out to kill them all whatever it takes - while Ryan (Lee Van Cleef), fresh from prison and sore at being double crossed, is hunting down the same gang to get his due. Who will get to them first? Powerful, hallucinatory, and with a tight thriller plot, Morricone's striking, idiosyncratic score makes ace use of choral chanting and boombastic drums. And yep, you guessed it: Tarantino recycled more of the score (and the blood red flashback scenes) for Kill Bill.
