This spaghetti-western has lots of problems. For one the plot is a convoluted mess. To figure out who all the characters are and what the hell is going on never feels like it's worth the trouble since the movie is also completely unengaging right from the start. The music also sucks and consists of some kinda easy-listening horn-blowing throughout the film. Another thing is the way the movie drags along at a snails pace. The only positive thing I can say is the movie was well shot by sleazemeister Joe D'Amato and scenes at least looked good even if you didn't care who was gunning who down. Also the title kinda sounds cool but is actually pretty stupid since if you prop up a dead guy he's gonna make a shadow. I would say skip this one unless, like me, you are some kind of sick self-hating masochist who bought a DVD box set of 44 spaghetti-western flicks and feel compelled to sit through all of them no matter how bad.
