Leave your thoughts about Terror in a Texas Town.
| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostBlistering left wing Western, with unique surreal final showdown. |
| User ReviewAllan CA small town in Texas is being terrorized by a greedy oil-man, Ed McNeil, who is attempting to force everyone off their land which happens to have tons of oil beneath it. One day a young Swedish man, George Hansen, shows up in town to find his father, but discovers he has been killed. Ted just left his life as a whaler to finally settle down and after learning about his father's death, he refuses to leave his land and will not rest until he finds out who is responsible for his father's death. This is just an insanely unique, beautifully shot and directed western that has so much to offer. The character of George Hansen is such a great protagonist. Being a Swedish immigrant, his English is very basic to the point that he comes off slow, while still being very intelligent. His character is driven and consumed that he doesn't back down, never fearing death, even though Ed McNeil's goons are plentiful. He isn't the only great character as Johnny Crale, Ed McNeil's right hand man, is also well developed, as our main villain, in terms of immediate danger. The actor who plays him (Nedrick Young) seemed to be channeling his inner Humphrey Bogart, as he's a cool, slick, scary individual. The film doesn't shy away from any taboo about immigrants treatment, instead it presents a much more realistic portrayal of how it probably was. Aesthetically the film has some great compositions showcasing some wild depth of frame and nice shadows. As far as the pacing goes, it flies by with lots of great tension throughout to really set-up the ending. In one word, BADASS. |
| User ReviewTom HOne of the best Westerns I've seen...the music, the atmosphere...the characters, is Johnny Crale one of the BEST black-clad gunmen on film? I think so....'have you never seen Death walk around in the shape of a man?' |
| User ReviewPeter BIron-hooked fury?? No shit!! An oater starring a sailor using a friggin' harpoon against a baddie with a six shooter? You're crazy if you won't watch this film. |
| User ReviewMatt MReminescent of the western style of classics, especially High Noon, and predating in many ways what would become the new language of the American B-movie, Terror in a Texas Town stars Hayden as a Swedish peace loving seaman who finds himself in Texas looking for revenge after he finds out his father was murdered. An admirable build up of tension leads to one of the most original final showdowns in the genre's history. Though people that have seen this film remember it fondly, Terror in a Texas Town still remains somewhat of a hidden gem. |
| User ReviewKen SREALLY good B western. Maybe the only film where Sterling Hayden smiles and definitely the only movie where a man brings a WHALE HARPOON to a gun fight. Great direction, editing and cinematography to boot! |
| User ReviewChristopher SGran western de bajo presupuesto que no tiene nada que envidiarle a mucho de los clasicos, hay innovaciones tematicas y formales por todos lados empezando por ese excitante comienzo! Interesante por demas. |
| User ReviewRobbie MFormidable villain, amiable drunken prostitute, Forrest-Gump-like protagonist, and a harpoon in a western. All of these are good things. An enjoyably strange but stilted oater, rather well-shot. |
| User ReviewBill MHaiku Review: Mister French wants to drink Sterling Hayden's milkshake. His harpoon thinks not. |
