Knives of the Avenger (1966) Reviews

Five years after the already very successful "Erik the Conqueror", Mario Bava makes another peplum in the great tradition of the time, peplum however a little atypical because it sometimes looks like a quasi- "leonian" western with its dark anti-hero figure with an unimpressive past and appeared from a little nowhere (and setting off again on horseback in the twilight at the end ...).
And no one other than Cameron Mitchell could better embody this "Viking cowboy" at the throw of unstoppable knives (what a face!).
In short, if the great Bava remains for me one of the giallo giants, its rigorous sense of staging has also made him one of the references of the Italian peplum of the sixties.
