The Hills Run Red

Buy This Item The Hills Run Red by MGM (Video & DVD)  Available from Amazon  $12.99  on 11-26-2008     THE HILLS RUN RED is a fine film that has been somewhat hamstrung by its reputation. Difficult to see for many years until the Japanese DVD release from Stingray and the new DVD release from MGM, like many movies that have been out of circulation for some time the movie acquired a slightly inflated reputation. Whilst it's a good film, an enjoyable romp for most fans of the Italian Western, it's a hyperbolic tale of revenge and therefore like most films from this very particular subgenre the movie is something of an acquired taste. <br /> <br />However, when all is said and done, it has to be said that THE HILLS RUN RED isn't Lizzani's best Italian Western: for me, it's not as impressive as the bizarre REQUIESCANT/KILL AND PRAY. However, it's at the top end of the movies made in the early years of the Italian Western craze, and it's great to see the movie finally receive a fine presentation on the DVD format. Reader Reviews Although this might not be as good as other Spaghetti Westerns, its still worth watching. The final shoot out is good and entertaining, and the plot is not that bad either.
