THE FLESH EATERS 1964 --- Such a good low budget horror film. So creative and industrious with limited resources and cast. Omar: "It took me three weeks to make those sandals. I mean they had the love in every stitch."
$1000 On the Black 1966 -- While it has some Leone-style elements especially in the camera set ups--this is much more personal story--between two brothers and their dominating mother. She was a maid who became the most powerful in the town thanks to her murderous son--while the less violent one is returning from a stint in prison for a murder his brother committed.
There's a scene where the mother forces women in town to beg on their knees to her in order to stop her son's rampage. One of the more violent I have seen--a town is massacred.
The ending uses the image of a body being carried on a corpse into the distance--it's more tragic than the version in Once Upon A Time in the West.
It also has four prominent women characters which is unusual from what I have seen-especially since none of them are prostitutes.
