Cut-Throats Nine

Spain, 1972, directed by Joaquín Luis Romero Marchent

35mm, 90 minutes, screening Saturday, Oct 30th at 7:00 pm

A western with some serious balls. CUT-THROATS NINE follows a group of convicts who are chained together and stranded in the middle of nowhere. They must work as a team to find civilization and break out of their shackles. It doesn't take long for them to realize that they can lighten the load by killing each other as one less person on the chain means that much less weight to haul around. This is a violent, often brutal tale of survival of the fittest, in a situation where there is no trust. Someone who was your friend two minutes ago could turn around and shove a knife in your back while you were not looking. The level of suspense is high and it is very unpredictable in what the outcome will be as the ensemble cast consists of murderers, rapists, and other undesirables. No one is really shown as "the leader" and death is always an option. – Josh Pasnak, www.chainsawfodder.com

“Easily the most mean-spirited, hateful, gory spaghetti western ever made” – LUMINOUS FILMS
