Title: Shadow of the Censor
Review: This is an oddity - a low-budget supernatural western with a pretty good cast, an an eye for wintry landscapes and, most remarkably, a genuinely spooky atmosphere. Unfortunately, the direction and editing are woeful, particularly in the earlier Civi War battle scenes, and after the long climb up Demon Mountain, there's a real sense of anti-climax. The journey is not helped by this Synergy DVD version, which is technically risible, a dodgy video recording transferred to the digital medium with the usual high degree of sound and picture degradation. Making matters worse are the holes where 'bad' language has been excised and, more damaging still, the blood and gore has been less than surgically removed, which may explain why this version runs for 90 minutes while the original print was 114.
