i be always interested in see a horror or western and this unofficial sequel to django direct by sergio garrone and star anthony steffen promise to offer just that . but evidently my impression wasn not positive . it promise of combine the two genre and be overblown . django the bastard try to create a seemingly supernatural atmosphere while at the same time keep a close to reality a possible . and it fail . anthony steffen star a django a loyal and honest soldier who be betray by his officer in the confederate army and seemingly kill along with his whole detachment . now he apparently have rise from the grave to exact his revenge . in the opening scene we see django carry a cross through town . he stop in front of a building and and pin it in the ground . the men inside suspiciously examine django and while finally discover that the cross bear the name of them . far more and on it be write the day of his death and today . what follow be a traditional shootout that lead to the obvious conclusion and django now triumphant proceeds to punish all those responsible for the death of his comrade and his in a similar fashion . this movie have often be compare to clint eastwood high plain drifter and claim that it more or less be the inspiration . honestly the only similarity find in both these movie be that they be present a quasi supernatural western . on the threshold between supernatural and natural and both posse character that could or could not be spirit of vengeance . such story be not anything new though and tale of such content have long exist in the western mythology . but django the bastard suffers from the inability to exploit it feature . the plot be shaky at best and often contradict itself . at one point we have the titular character display unexplainable supernatural ability and such a appear from nowhere and disappear and and even become transparent . while at another sequence django get and beaten and practically torture and force to run and hide from bad guy henchman . these plot element do a great job at leave me confused and but do little in create that mystical atmosphere which be the supposed goal of the entire film . django do not feel supernatural because he be be beat and do not feel real because at one moment he become transparent . on other point of interest and namely the acting . anthony steffen do have the intimidating look and but his performance be lackluster and quite frankly it be flat . nothing different can be say about the support cast . there be not a single character that make an impression and in fact to be honest i forget most of them shortly after i saw the movie . cinematography be a mixed bag . there be some really nicely direct track shot and overall stable and camera work . but the shootout be unimpressive . gorrene could have at least tried to put some more work in create memorable action scene to compensate for the second hand plot . ultimately what we get be a series of boring and uncreative and unsynchronized shootout . what even bad be that the gun down people tend fall in a slow irritating manner and it a if they be be careful not to get hurt . hello . they be a suppose to be dead . finally and the last thing worth comment and namely the score . it be as forgettable a everything else in django the bastard i be neither able to remember who compose or any specific tune . django the bastard might have a cool sounding name and but it doesn not have much else to offer . it a forgettable experience fail to tap on it quasi supernatural plot and with just a few minor sequence stick out from the otherwise bellow average presentation .
