Films like Django the Bastard.

Django the Bastard (1969) reads as Heavy, kinetic, extreme ghost / revenge, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, cold. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
