Also wanted to mention the violent Western Ulzana's Raid directed by Robert Aldrich and starring Burt Lancaster. Anyone seen this little gem? Nice anti-Vietnam film disguised as a Western, with the Indians standing in for the Viet Cong. No heroes in this one. The cavalry are obviously a bunch of racist morons, and the Indians are simply savage. They even cut out a guy's heart and toss it back and forth. At the very first of the movie, a woman thinks a soldier is coming to save her from an Indian attack, but instead he shoots her to so the Indians can't rape her. Then after his horse is wounded, he puts his pistol in his mouth and blows off the back of his head. Then the Indians laugh while mutilating their bodies. Horror fans would definitely like this, and it's more shocking than any Italian cannibal movie.
