18. And God Said to Cain 1970 (Arrow Video HD digital stream via iTunes)
Klaus Kinksi moves from a supporting role to star in this spaghetti western about revenge. Kinski gives an uncharacteristic subdued performance as Gary Hamilton, a former colonel pardoned after 10 years at hard labor for a crime he didn't commit. He returns to his home town bent on exacting revenge on the people who framed him, led by a rich man named Acombar (played by Peter Carsten, who also appeared in My Name Is Pecos).
This film is shot mostly at night, as Hamilton takes his revenge during a night time wind storm. This provides for a great atmosphere and added tension as Hamilton cuts through Acombar's men. It's a terrific spaghetti western, highlighted by Kinksi's performance. Arrow's transfer is also quite good.
