synopsis
This extra-violent Civil War melodrama was also released as Cain's Way and The Blood Seekers. Scott Brady plays a homesteader whose biracial family is butchered by Confederate renegades. Teaming up with bounty hunter-cum-preacher John Carradine, Brady goes after the men responsible. After dispatching most of the killers in particularly gruesome fashion, Brady sets his sights on the renegade leader, Robert Dix. Why is it that the hero never kills the leader at the outset, but always knocks off the flunkeys first? Evidently aiming at surrealism, director Kent Osborne juxtaposes Brady's campaign of slaughter is intercut with scenes of a modern-day motorcycle gang going on a real-life rampage.
