"Seven Devils on Horseback" qualifies as a sorry excuse of a Spaghetti western. Although it features Spaghetti western stalwarts Gordon Mitchell and Mario Brega, this low-budget oater doesn't have much to recommend it. Cooper (Gordon Mitchell of "Beyond the Law") is a dastardly villain who extorts money from a frontier town. The opening scene shows a woman trying to leave town with her life savings. She is chased by Mexican cutthroats, and they rob, rape, and kill her. The townspeople rise up against him, and the gunplay starts. The best thing about this horse opera is Stelvio Cipriani's orchestral soundtrack. Produced in 1975, "Seven Devils" qualifies as a late entry in the Italian western cycle. Nothing distinguishes this shoot'em up, and leading man Dino Stano displays little charisma as the hero. The rugged scenery is good to look at. At least, these guys reload their six-guns. Die hard Spaghetti western fans will be the only ones who will appreciate this sagebrusher.
