CUT-THROATS NINE

dir. Joaquín Luis Romero Marchent, 1972
Spain, 90 min.

Presented by Hypercube Media.

A wagon full of sadistic criminals is being chaperoned to prison through the mountains when they're attacked by a gang of bandits seeking gold. What they didn't realize is that it's hidden in plain sight...in the very chains that shackle the men! When the dust settles only the sergeant, his daughter, and seven of the murderous prisoners remain. Without horse or wagon, the sergeant must face the elements, the trailing bandits, and the wrath of the seven men in tow while trying to reach their destination and protect his daughter, Sarah. Can Sgt. Brown get this motley crew to prison? Are one of the men the very same that murdered his wife? Is greed stronger than these golden chains?

Hailed as "possibly the most violent Eurowestern ever made" by Michael J Weldon of Pyschotronic Magazine, CUT THROATS NINE surely lives up to it's infamous reputation. A rare instance of a snowbound bloodbath, the film is as bleak as it is foreboding.
