The "horror" in And God Said to Cain is largely background radiation - unless you're one of the baddies that Klaus Kinski's gunslinger is hunting down, more or less where slasher flicks meet revenge pictures, then yeah, maybe it's a monster movie. Kinski's intensity serves this spaghetti western well. A presidential pardon frees him from a chain gang and sets him on a course to kill the man who framed him. In the way, perhaps, is the bad guy's innocent son, who will have to make a difficult choice. Director Antonio Margheriti - better known for horror flicks with lurid names like Castle of Blood, Cannibal Apocalypse and Naked You Die - gives the hero's extended siege on the villains a Gothic atmosphere, with organ music, church bells ringing, and a tornado storm that acts, in tandem with Kinski, as the Wrath of God. Various religious allusions also push us in that direction, to the point where I fully expected some supernatural reveal at some point. There isn't, but you could decide for yourself that there is some kind of Old Testament divine presence at play.

A good ending saves an otherwise dull-ish film, where there's little suspense because the avenging hero is invincible and never has a vulnerable moment. And the dubbed Klaus Kinski is hard to swallow.

Great revenge story.
