In the end, I recommend this release as a rental, but genre fans might find it worthy for a purchase. I recognize Dawson's name from all sorts of strange, cult films over the years, so I admit I was surprised to find him at the helm of a western like this. But all seems to be in order here, the visuals have the usual western flair and though Dawson never innovates here, he ensures the film fits in visually with other genre pieces. If you want to see more of Dawson's work, I recommend Killer Fish, Cannibal Apocalypse, Yor The Hunter From The Future, Jungle Raiders, Hercules Against Karate, School Girl Killer, and The Fall of Rome, among other classic cult cinema must see titles. The source print is on the rough side at times, but the debris and grain is minimal, much cleaner than I expected.
Some scenes look worse than others, but some look excellent, with no marks at all to be seen.
But in any case, this looks very clean and much better than some similar movies from this time period. The colors look natural for the most part, but some hues show up brighter than others and flesh tones have a normal, warm appearance. The contrast is consistent also, detail is acceptable and black levels are well balanced. Aside from some flaws with the source material, this is a very good transfer and one that will please fans, without a doubt. The included mono track is good, much fuller and cleaner than most mono offerings.
