After the Civil War ends, two soldiers return home with a cache of stolen money. They are caught by Union troops. One escapes, but the other is sent to prison for five years. When he gets out and goes home, he finds that his wife has died in poverty because his partner kept all the money, and is now a major power in the area with an army of deadly gunmen to back him up
Good quality Italian western
At the first glance, this seems to be nothing else but a typical revenge story. Brewster (Thomas Hunter) gets locked up a few years in jail while his buddy Seagall (Nando Gazzolo) runs with the money they stole together. When Brewster is finally released, he is looking for vengeance - and his lost son. Seagall sends killers after his former friend. His right hand man Mendez (Henry Silva) is the real villain, a man in black who enjoys to be bad, every minute of it. But a certain Mr Getz (Dan Duryea) helps Brewster without telling him the real reason why...
The surprise of this movie is Thomas Hunter who starred for the first time in a western and creates an interesting character here, not the superior Man With No Name, but an angry young man who isn't always in total control, so he needs Getz to help him out of trouble. "The Hills Run Red" is above average for an Italian western due to good production values (comparatively at least), clever director Lizzani ("Requiescant"), composer Ennio Morricone and a great cast which does not only include the above mentioned Hunter, cult star Silva and Hollywood veteran Duryea, but also the lovely Nicoletta Machiavelli ("Navajo Joe") for which two different endings were shot: one in which she dies, one in which she survives for a happy ending. In most versions, the tragic one was used, though.
